Well, I wasn’t sure that this would ever actually happen, but here I sit, waiting to head out to the west coast! I feel sad, nervous, but overall excited. I worry about my dog that he’ll be mad at me, but I only told him 9 million times that I’m going to make us a better life and that I’ll be back πŸ™‚

**quickly moving on**

I’ve told you that I’m headed out to California for a travel therapy assignment, but let’s be honest here shall we? What I’m really looking forward to through all of this is stepping outside of my comfort zone. I’ve been pretty comfortable for the past however many years, so I know how necessary this is. I’ve read a lot of books, listened to a lot of YouTube videos, done my own research anddddd….read a lot of books, listened to a lot of YouTube videos….see my point here? I basically studied all of this stuff comfortably in my bed, but was deathly afraid to try….but here we are!

Honey I’ve arrived!

If I measure my success throughout these 13 weeks by simply just giving it a try, well then I’ve already succeeded.

The second car just got here though, so I have to go for now–I’m driving first!

Did I mention I was driving? I personally think the journey to get there might be as fun as the destination itself. I’m not sure where I learned that, but I think I may have some experience with that thought process πŸ˜‰

Next stop–Omaha, Nebraska!
