Plans (short)

I have been thinking over my plans for what will happen in my life between now and the end of next year when I relocate my life back to Oregon, where it belongs.  Everything I plan is thought out as intricately as possible.  I think things through at an obsessive rate, even losing sleep because I can’t stop thinking about them.

I went to a little, second-year renaissance fair called Sherwood last weekend with my friend Denise and her hubby and some of his family.  It was so much fun!  It is only the second time I’ve been to a renaissance fair, but I’ve been hooked on them for over 7 years since I the first and last time I went to one.  I can’t wait to go back.  That’s right, me, Denise and her hubby are going to go again!  We’re going to go for the evening portion of the fair this time.  They have a night circle activity that they perform that I'm sure is just amazing and fun.  There is a bellydancer top that I want to buy that I fell in love with when we went but I didn’t have the money for at the time.

In November, I have plans to fly to Las Vegas to meet up with my childhood friend Jessica who lives in Wisconsin now.  I was hoping to go and see her this summer, but I'm just not going to have the money to do that due to the repairs on my truck.  Besides, I think that Jessica and I will have a lot more fun together in Vegas.  Maybe next year in the summer I can make the drive up to Wisconsin to hang out with her and meet her husband and kids and let her play tour guide and show me around.  I’ve never been to Wisconsin, so it would be my first time there.

Since my plans for relocating to Oregon have been pushed back to the end of next year, I'm planning to make a trip next year in March to visit everybody.  It will be over 3 years at that point since my last visit.  I'm not willing to make it 4 years by continuing to wait until I move.  I want to meet my niece.  I want to see how much my nephew has grown.  I want to scope out potential apartment complexes and employers.  But, mostly, I want to see my friends and my family that I miss so much and love so dearly.
