One step closer to paradise

So I did it... I bought my ONE-WAY ticket to Hawaii last night!!! It's crazy to think that June 23rd I am boarding a plane and moving to Hawaii (*crossing fingers*). I've been very VERY nervous about this and everyone else has been telling me get over it and that they would love to be in my shoes so instead I'm just taking it in and saying yes... I'm going to embrace this opportunity and go with it instead of being so... stressed.
I'm thinking I need to get a nice tan before I even think about boarding so that way I might blend in a bit more instead of being this not very tan Mexican girl that I am, haha. I also bought a GIGANTIC suit case yesterday called the "Mammoth" because we are literally packing our bags and going. NUTS huh?
I'm going to be a VERY busy girl in June. I'm having to move out of my apartment, move out of my classroom, figure out what I'm going to do with all my stuff and all of this without Nathan. Last year Nathan and I were at the school till 12:30 AM packing up my classroom and that was both of our efforts I am DREADING this part of doing it on my own and being hindered by my never ending shoulder issue. Also, I'm going to do a lot of visiting before I leave. Because I'm not planning on taking trips back to Texas since it's not cheap and well... I've faced the facts that Nathan and I will be more like having to make ourselves eat SPAM instead of going out to eat seafood due to money issues. We'll be on a strict budget I'm sure so... I'm hoping to make stops in Laredo, Richmond, Mexico, and Del Rio so we will see how that goes.

Spam is the state dish. Yummy. Can't believe your leaving. Now I have to go to the wonderful state of Hawaii to visit you? Sun and fun. That would be nice.
