I have summer school that starts in two week. It's a 7 week Chemistry 112 class. It's going to be 5 hours of class 4 days a week. A chapter every couple days. It's going to be ROUGH. I have to do well because it's the foundation I need to build my future upon. I'm having my doubts, but it's something that has to happen.
James put in for his transfer a bit ago, so we are just waiting to hear back when he'll move. It could be anytime from two weeks from now to more than a year from now. I hate not knowing. But since we know we are moving in August regardless of when the transfer comes we've started looking for a house in Pocatello. It's fun, but frustrating. And we can see the money wandering out of our hands. Also, we can't put in an offer until the middle of next month.
James bought a duplex in Pocatello for an investment. He's excited about it, but he's also worried, trying to get all the stuff together, stressed about the closing.
Since we are moving to Pocatello we need to get this place ready to rent out, so we have a whole laundry list of things to get done. Mainly replacing blinds, cleaning the existing blinds, flooring, painting, kitchen cupboards, paint doors, new shutters.... etc. But we don't have a lot of time to accomplish this. Sigh.
That was nicely book ended. The good things are, obviously, buying OUR first house! And... We are going to Ireland on thursday!
I've wanted to go to Ireland so badly and for so long that I can't believe it's happening for me. It's truly a dream come true. I can't believe I'm so lucky. James has been planning this for a while now, he was going to keep it a secret until a few days before the trip, still not tell me where, just tell me to pack..... But he decided to tell me, though, because he knows that I've wanted to go for so long that he wanted my input of where to go.
So we leave here Thursday at 5:45 am, arrive in Dublin around 8:00 am on Friday the 28th (Oh, Thursday is my birthday, we will spend all day traveling, but to a happy place.). We will stay in Dublin until the 31st, then off to the Galway coast, Connemara, The Cliffs of Moher, and our bed and breakfast on the ocean (a working farm even), then on the 2nd we head to Cork, Cobh, and our OLD hotel with a freaken waterfall in the courtyard. Oh my. Then on the 4th we head back to Dublin to stay once more night, then home on the 5th. Perfect. And I can't wait. And I'm all packed.
I realize being packed is crazy, really I just wanted to make sure I could fit everything and not forget something important, so it can sit there for the next two days and if I think of anything I over looked I can add it. It's a good plan. Yeah, now that I can stare at my packed suitcase.... I'm so freaken excited!!!
And. James said he would propose before June. He hasn't yet, and we will be in Ireland on June first..... Um, could it be true? Could he really propose in Ireland?!?
