Practice Packing

Practice Packing, because I'm unemployed and wanting to leave yesterday. It all fits. Well it all almost fits. A little standing might be in order for the real deal :)

Ohhhh Minnesnowta

City Pages has an awesome list of things to LOVE about Minnesota... It made me think of the things I will miss in the next year.

1. My friends and family living close by

2. The feet and feet of snow to play in

3. Cross country skiing

4. Biking on our wonderful green-way

5. The Birchwood, Loring Pasta Bar, French Meadow Bakery, GiGi's, and Pizza Luce

6. Diet Coke that tastes like Diet Coke

7. Sunning at the lakes

8. Big storms late in the night

9. Sunny days, when it's not over 80

10. Teaching art, hopefully learning about art with compensate

11. The Renaissance festival, I will get to practice my accent out of costume

I'm trading all these things and more for a huge adventure into the unknown. I can't wait to see what my new favorites in England will be!

My Visa

Just got an email stating that my Student Visa was issued and that my passport is on its way back to me.... Such a giant stress relief! Today I am going to get a mani-pedi in celebration.

Counting Down

Welcome to my blog! I am super excited and getting ready to leave... my countdown is about 2 weeks too long. I wish I was leaving within the week! Continue to send happy thoughts as I plan, pack unpack and pack again, and wait for my visa and passport to make their way to my mailbox. Any day now right?!
