Another long, tiring but good day. I am grateful today that we were able to complete the last leg of our journey to Seattle. It was definitely worth the twelve hours on the road yesterday because it meant we only had two and a half hours to drive this morning. So one of my objectives has been reached–I have safely brought my daughter to her home of the next two years. Today we started on our quest to meet another objective: that of getting her relatively settled in terms of doing some unpacking and organizing her things in her new apartment. It’s a very nice place and from what I saw of the campus today, it will be a good place for her to continue her learning journey.
Tomorrow we will continue getting her organized and making her apartment more comfortable and homey. I have only tomorrow to help get her situated before I fly home on Friday to get myself organized and situated. I have a lot of very critical decisions to make and actions to take. I am making some fairly dramatic changes in my life over the next few weeks. It’s a little unnerving and definitely unsettling but it is time. For now I am living in the moment and enjoying the time with my daughter helping her locate herself in her new place.
I am tired this evening so will once again sign off early. After two days of driving, it will be nice to stay put (relatively speaking) and drive no further than the local Seattle environs. I’m sure my daughter will want to show me some of the cool places in the area. I am looking forward to spending a little more time with her before I head back home. I am grateful for the traveling mercies that brought us safely here and for all the good things that will happen in the days to come. Tonight, I will rest well.
