Seriously...where has June gone?

I am in complete awe that it is June 20th already. What has happened to the month of June? The days, hours, and minutes are flying by making move-in day and the beginning of my Miss Ohio journey a mere 11 days away. My host parents have graciously allowed me to move in with them Friday evening, forgoing an early morning commute to Mansfield Saturday morning. And, since I am a known night owl, escaping that early morning commute (albeit 40 minutes) is greatly appreciated.

The week ahead promises to to fly by as well. I am working at Scripps from 10-4 every day and dancing 3 times a week at the dance studio after work. Wednesday and Thursday my roommate and I ( along with some local muscle) are moving the majority of our furniture into our new apartment across town. On Friday after work, I will load up the desk I am currently using in my grandpa's truck and take it home to exchange for a smaller desk that will fit into my new room. I will also bring back a dresser. I am really, really hoping that Saturday I will get a chance to just kick back and enjoy being home, but I'm sure my personal shopper (aka mom) will have final wardrobe choices for me to try on and exchange if they don't work out. She has already organized much of my wardrobe for my official send-off party in Marion on Sunday. Last Friday, my cousin Ginny was in town from Nashville. While in town, she brought over all her pageant jewelry for my use. I wasn't able to see her this trip home because I was working pre-college, but she will be back the week of the pageant. I hope I do her proud!

Oh, and my grandpa is painting the chair I use in my dance this weekend, too.

Last night, I spent a little time with my good friend, Brian D. Brian will be driving me in his convertible in the Miss Ohio parade. Taking advantage of having my g-pa's truck, he helped me move some of my boxes of books (4 last count...what can I say, I love books) and other miscellaneous items into the apartment. In return, he used the truck to move a few of his boxes into his new place. Brian graduated last quarter and has a job teaching high school history this fall in Wellston. Happily, he will be commuting to Wellston and living in Athens. Luckily, his new place is very close to my new apartment, so I won't go through Brian withdrawal next year.

Now, off to work. More later....
