Trei is amazing. I climbed into bed last night, well after he had fallen asleep. I scooted over to his side, and nudged him with my feet. He wrapped his arms around me, and very sleepily told me he loved me. This is a ritual every night. I've grown accustomed to this little tradition, and I love it. I love the feeling of crawling into a warm bed and having Trei right there. Even though most of the time, we sleep on our own side of the bed - our feet always seem to find each other right in the center. A reassurance that we're both there. I think that's what I will miss most. Sleeping next to Trei. There is a certain amount of security that comes with sleeping with your husband. I think it will be lonely. That might be the hardest part of all of this.

I took this picture on my way home from dinner last night. My girlfriend Shelly said, "say goodbye to Reno", just as we were about to drive under this sign.....so I snapped away, and even though the light is in the way of the words, it's still the best shot! I'm three full days away from from leaving, and reality is starting to hit. I am looking forward to this so much - but dreading leaving Trei. Thankfully, we decided that the first weekend in December will be the time that Trei will move. He put his notice in at his job - so there is no turning back. This gives me great reassurance though. I don't need to fret about "when" he's going move. I now have a specific date to look forward to, and that ALWAYS helps!! So, I slowly packing (my suitcase that is), getting the house ready, getting my affairs ready, and everything else that is required when making a move. If feels like just yesterday I was doing this same thing.....Ooohhh, ha ha, it was! :) I am learning, however, that when God wants you to make changes in your life - he opens the doors that need to be opened, and closes the doors that need to be closed. It was something that Trei and I continue to pray for. His will. That it would be done in our lives. YIKES!!! I'm MOVING!!!!

Well, my final weekend in Reno has ended, and I can't believe time has come and gone so quickly. This time next week and Trei and I will be in Newport Beach, spending time together before he has to get on a plane back to Reno. WOW.....I mean that's all I can say. WOW.
The last 3 days have been wonderful. I love Trei, and spending time with him is my favorite thing to do. We had a blast, and I have lots of pictures to share!!!

It's already freezing cold here in Reno, Nevada. I can't believe winter is already here. When I walked to my car this morning, I could see my breath. I seriously feel like it was just summer. Oh well, I don't have much longer of this I guess - and it's a little weird to me. This whole move is weird to me. And seriously until Trei and the dogs are in California with me - I'm not going to look forward to anything. I'll just take the move as an extended vacation - and the moment Trei moves with all our stuff I'll throw the party.

My mind is swirling with a million different thoughts. I have so much on my plate, that it can be overwhelming at times.
12 days until Trei and I make the drive into California. That is totally crazy to me. I didn't realize how sentimental I was until this decision to move arose. I remember crying and crying when it came time to move to Reno. I cried at the thought of being away from my family, I cried at the thought of never hearing the rustle of the trees outside my window in September, I cried at the idea of never driving a certain route, or grabbing coffee with my girlfriends. Everything made me cry. I was sad to leave. Now that it's time to leave Reno, I'm doing the same thing. I cry over the thought of not sleeping next to my husband for awhile. Or greeting him after work with a much needed hug. I cry over my dogs. I cry over the thought of not seeing Trei's parents as often. I cry about not bowling, or going to church, or seeing my favorite people at work. It's like, what the heck? I told my mom, I wish I could the best of both worlds (in California, ofcourse!) I want Trei's family, my family, and Trei and I to all live within a few miles of eachother. Having to say goodbye is a terrible thing to have to do, and I really hope this is the very last time I have to do it.

My life revolved around Rock Solid at Church on the Way.
I babysat ALL the time.

Sorry I haven't had an update of substance in awhile. My free time at work has been snatched up by an icky word called "training". The newest assistant here at Countrywide has been handed over to me to be molded into the perfect Production Assistant. Therefore I have someone sitting at my desk with me 24/7. This means I have absolutely no time to write a descent update. In fact, he just walked in the door from lunch, which means this post might be cut short. We'll see.
