Quickie

Hello all

Just a quick post, I've been on vacation for the last week so I will put up another post once I get the pictures from Jamie. The week before that not too much happen. I am now officially licensed in California and since it is now July I should begin to get calls about potential jobs. We moved everything out of mine and Jamie's apartment. It was really sad because we had some really good times in that place. These past two years have been a blessing. Jamie has mentioned once or twice how the emotional toll is beginning to hit her, being further away from friends and family and thought it would be harder for me or was surprised that it has not been so far.
It wasn't until she said something that I realized I had not even really given it any thought which sounds so horrible but as it is my best friend lives in another state and my other close friends live an hour or so away, so that change won't be too different. I will have to be more diligent about keeping in touch.

I will miss my family probable more then I would like to admit, but I'm going to be a little selfish and go for something that I have been wanting to do for a long time now but have put off for reasons of varying kinds. I am looking forward to the adventure of getting out and seeing a different land scape and meeting different people, I just want to know what is outside this bubble of mine known as Syracuse.

I finished the first half of my summer session and Monday will begin the second half. I'm hoping things are put together better for the second half then they were the first. Hopefully this time around my financial aid doesn't get screwed up.

This upcoming week will be my last week of work, I really am truly going to miss it there and the people that I work with more then they really know, it was just another perk to my job being able to work with such fabulous people!

other then that just some running around before the big departure day!

Down to the wire

Not too much has happen this week. Last Friday Jamie and I went to our favorite hair dresser and pampered ourselves. It is going to be extremely hard to find a Hairdresser like Kim, she is the best.

Saturday we went to our cousin Shawn's girlfriends baby shower. Missy is a fabulous girl who as of last Saturday was 36 weeks pregnant with Cayden Edward Williamson. It was nice to get everyone together for the first summer party. Luckily there will be more to come before Jamie and I have to take off. That evening Jamie and I went back to the mall to see the movie UP which was awesome and will not lie I cried, strongly suggest seeing it.

Sunday was a day of lounging and packing, I had been avoiding the kitchen as I really was not looking forward to packing that. So I did start and it is as bad as I thought it would be.

Monday was Mom's and Jamie's birthday, we met Aunt Threse and Victor out at Quaker Steak and Lube for dinner and returned home for presents and cake. Yumm! The best part of the day was I had had my dad go and pick up the cake I order for them. When we got to my parents house my dad was standing at the top of the stairs franticlly waving to me so I went upstairs and my dad then says " I bumped the cake" and I'm like "you bumped the cake" "like a noticable bump?" and my dad then feverishly began nodding his head. My dad then says " I was coming in the house and I caught my foot and bumped it and the top layer slid" Needless to say it still tasted delicious!

One more week and then Im on vacation, it will be low key which is totally needed right now as things at work have been slightly stressful as a certain person is leaning on my last nerve. I think it is funny when people complain about certain things but make no changes. I really wish people knew how well they had it at Enable. I am really going to miss that job.

One more week of work then vacation and then my last week of work!

Much love
Kasey

Memorial Day Weekend

So better late then never:

Memorial Day weekend we headed down to the National Lacrosse Championships which were taking place in the New England Patriots Stadium. My uncle who works for an insurance company had gotten tickets for the game and they were in the Corporate Box. My Dad, my brother and my self loaded up into the family truckster and headed to Boston. Now although the three of us always seem to have a really good time when not under the supervision of mom there is a reason for that as we proceed to act our shoe size and not our age. I won't go into detail but I about peed my pants several times from laughing so hard. So this Corporate box was great free food, we had a waitress to pour drinks and they even made fancy designs with the papertowels and toilet paper! Saturday was the semi finals and Syracuse played Duke and won. Sunday were the championships for division 2 and 3. On Monday it was championship game day Syracuse verses Cornell. It was a nail biter but with 2 minutes left of overtime Syracuse pulled it off which was a great topper to the weekend.

Other then that the last few weeks of May had been spent going to confrences and turing in every thing for my California Licsence.Two weekends ago I was in Binghamton to attend a conferences with Lisa. The best part about that weekend despite Lisa bringing a small pantry with her to the lecture was when we were driving to the bar for a rock band fundraiser and Lisa looked to her right were on the on ramp were 3 or 4 police cars and goes " Oh is that a DWI stop?" to which I responded with " Lisa it's only 6 oclock!"

The apartment is looking very empty as this Friday we got the moving truck for Uncle Bob's and loaded all the furniture into it. Jamie and I went out and got blow up mattress to sleep on which suprisingly are very comfy. Everything is almost done now we just have to tackle the kitchen.

It's crazy to think that I am down to 3 more weeks in the apartment , then I'm going on vacation and then when I get back I will have 1 week left at work and 2 weeks before Jamie and I hit the road. Even when I say it out loud it doesn't hit me. I am just so grateful for these past two years with my cousin and having this opportunity to grow and branch out, I'm sure eventually it will all hit me but for right now Im just too excited about this new adventure.

Stealing the idea...

I am stealing this idea from my cousin Jamie as she developed one of these blogs to keep her friends, family and Navy boy updated while he was away.

It's funny how life changes when you least expect it. Jamie and I have been roomies for two years now and I can honestly say these have been the best two years of my life. We have always been close but in more ways then one these past two years Jamie has taught me so much about myself and half the time she probably didn't even realize it. So the reasoning for starting this blog is because I am going to be making a HUGE change in my life by moving out to California to start my travels as a traveling therapist. An I thought this would be a great way to keep in touch with all the peeps in my life . I will try to keep this updated weekly.

So far I have decided on the traveling company that I am going to go with, got my finger prints done and am waiting on few other things before I have to send everything to the board of California. So hopefully the job search will begin sometime in July. I'm very nervous as I will be leaving behind the wonderful people that I have worked with at Enable.

Before I got to Enable I was seriously was considering changing my profession, but the people I worked with completely changed my outlook. I will most likely never come across a more compassionate, and fun loving group of people.

So I will keep it short for now as I feel like Im rambling, but I guess that's the point.

Love, Kasey
