HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE!!!!

So I am off tomorrow. I am excited, I really am. At this point, I am still looking around at all of the things to be done to the house, but it will happen. I can relax now.

To be honest, the part about this trip that I concerns me most is driving alone. Especially in uncharted territory. I am going to try to take it all in and enjoy this experience. It would be a lot easier with an extra pair of eyes, but that ain't happening.

I hope Mark and my kids can have fun this week. It won't be easy with the list I left for them, but I can still hope.

Today was good. My mom made us a nice lunch. (It was a send-off lunch) She wasn't sure what to make for me (the vegan thing throws her off) so she ended up making a ton of food. I think she is really trying to be supportive.

It was great seeing old friends this weekend.

Have a great Monday. I'll update as soon as I can.

Long hugs and wet kisses all around.

PS Does anyone else like Animal Collective? Oh, and the Lollapollooza line up looks good. I may be sending Mark to Chicago in August, if anyone (Ryan) is interested.
