I don't know where to begin

I don't know where to begin...

The last three weeks have been a blur. Here's the breakdown:

December 15th:

• Movers whisked away all of my boxes and furniture in two hours.
• Cleaned, packed my car, filled out exit paperwork at VU.
• Attended a VU staff Christmas party and said goodbye to my boss and the rest of the RDs and RCs.
• Cried all the way to my sister's house.
• Dinner with my mom and sister, interrpted by a quick trip to Children's Urgent Care cuz Cole was walking weird, but ended up being fine.
• Cried again as I said goodnight to Cole before bed.
• Good friend, Staci, stopped by to say goodbye.
• Mom broke down as I put her into her car to go home.
• Collapsed on Jaime's sofa bed, exhausted.

December 16th:

• Jaime and I climbed into my very full car and began our journey eastward.
• Switched drivers every couple of hours.
• Stopped at 9:00pm and had dinner at Cracker Barrel - a.k.a. heaven - in Las Cruces, NM.
• Got back in the car and drove one final hour to our hotel in El Paso, TX.

December 17th:

• Woke up at 7:00am and reset alarm for 7:30am.
• Grabbed a english muffins and apple juice down in the lobby, checked out, an were on the road again in an hour.
• Drove for 14 hours.
• Last hour of the trip, tried to find a Sonic right off the highway so we could grab some blended root beer floats, but we were unsuccessful.
• Arrived in Edinburg at about 10:00pm. and my husband wrapped me in a big hug as soon as I got out of the car.
• Unloaded the car in only 15 minutes.
• Chris took us to get the Sonic we had so desperately been craving.

December 18th:

• Woke up without an alarm or any place to be or any driving to do = glorious.
• Jaime and I checked out the local mall, fought for parking, sweated it out in one of the most crowded malls EVER, and purchased a few Christmas gifts.
• Grabbed a late lunch at BJ's (yes, they have a BJ's here. They have everything here).
• Chris joined us at BJ's and we played Words With Friends across the table for 2 hours, then ended up breaking down and ordering a pizookie.
• Chris took us to the outlet mall for even more shopping.
• Jaime found some sweet laceless Converse for Cole, but Chris and I already bought them for him for Christmas, so we had to tell her and ruin the surprise before she bought them.
• Grabbed dinner on the way home at Rudy's, a sweet BBQ restaurant in town.
• REDBOXed The Ugly Truth.
• We don't finish the movie because it's 12:15am and we need to wake up in four hours.

December 19th:

• Leave apartment at 4:30am to take Jaime to airport.
• Arrive at airport at 5:00am. No sad goodbyes. We're seeing each other again in a week.
• Jaime texts me as I am on my way home to tell me her flight may be delayed for 3 hours. I get home and tell Chris.
• Yup, flight delayed 3 hours. We go pick her up from the airport.
• Stop by a gas station on way home to get donuts and milk.
• Jaime doesn't want to go back to sleep. We watch the rest of The Ugly Truth.
• Arrive back at the airport at 8:30am.
• I go home and collapse.
• Jaime's flight is delayed another 50 minutes, she misses her connecton in Dallas, hangs out there for 4 hours, then finally arrives home at 7:00pm - only 8 hours late.
• Chris and I watch The West Wing all day.
