In the past week, I have:
- Cheered on friends at the San Diego marathon
- Nursed a really awesome sunburn from above event
- Gotten a smart phone and wondered how I ever lived without one (still need to enter all my contacts–eesh!)
- Prepared students for the ACT
- Gotten new glasses–thanks to Henny at SEE Eyewear at the Beverly Center and the guys at the lab who literally worked a miracle to get my heavy duty prescription ready in a week so I could have them for the trip.
- Gotten my car all tuned up, washed the outside, straightened the inside (still needs a good vaccuum)
- Worked my last day at my admin job
- Signed up for twitter and tweeted my first tweet (connectxcountry)
- Gotten this blog up and running
- Made food for friends who just had a baby
- Held said baby–less than 2 weeks old!–amazing!!!
- Watched a friend rock it at her first gig in over a year
- Celebrated a friend’s graduation from grad school
- Had many a dinner, coffee, and conversation with friends in LA before I leave
- Found a subletter from Craigslist who went to the elementary school next to mine (she went to Claymont!)
- Packed and straightened the apartment (still getting there)
In the next week, I will:
- See family and friends from childhood, high school, college, and beyond
- Get to Seattle
- Hopefully stop peeling from the aforementioned sunburn
- Watch a dream of 3 years become reality right before my very eyes!
Thanks for following along. I look forward to seeing where we end up.

Connecting Cross Country 
I am so excited for you. You have been talking about this trip for so long and now you are actually doing it. I’m kinda jealous, but in a good way. =) Have a safe trip, and I hope it is everything you have imagined it to be.
