Time for Takeoff

Welp, the time has come.  Okay, not quite.  But it's 24 hours away that we will be taking off to South Dakota.  May I note that this is my first time to this state.  I always like going to new states.  Before I never cared, but once I got out of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, the normal states that we always visited, I found it more of an excitement to go somewhere new!  Maybe one day I will have visited all 50! :) Anyway, we're getting a little off topic....

Yes, tomorrow at 10:30 we will be taking off.  I am not one for flying.  I mean it's not that bad once I'm in the air, but take off and landing = nerve racking.  I swear I lose my breath and almost have a heart attack every time.  I learned the other day that Trevor DOES NOT like to fly.  I believe I knew this, it was just way in the back of my brain.  This is why I am more nervous this time.  Now I'm going to have to be the tough guy.  More than likely, I will fail as the tough guy.  Trevor's supposed to be the man in this relationship!  As soon as I see him freak, I'll freak.  Sigh.  Speaking of relationship....I don't know if I've mentioned this in my blog before or not, but apparently the thing to do in the Martin family is take your girlfriend to South Dakota, only to bring them back to break up with them.  I mean it's cool I can take it in Louisiana or even Texas, but there's no sense in taking me all the way to South Dakota to do so.  There could've been time and money saved.  

ANYWAY....

Tomorrow will be Lailee's first time to get boarded.  As all of you know I am very strangely attached to that dang dog.  Don't judge until you have a dog.  Let me just get off my soapbox, before ya'll really think I'm psychotic.  So tomorrow is her first time to get boarded.  I think I might shed a tear for her.  She will absolutely hate me when I get back.  Probably even ignore me for a few days.  If I have ever went anywhere in the past, she either stayed with my old roomie, Jessica, or somehow it conveniently worked out that I was going home and she would stay with my family.  I think I might take it worse than her for getting boarded.  I mean I know she won't even know what's going on, but it will still break my poor little heart.  It probably wouldn't bother me as bad if people didn't tell me how depressed she gets when I leave.  She won't potty, eat, NOTHING!  She will just mope around.  When the neighbors watched the dogs, her exact words were, "It was the strangest thing I've ever seen.  It was like she was depressed that you were gone!"  Poor Lailee. :'(

Okay, enough about Lailee.  Remember the TO DO list I had to get done before we left?  

Yup, look at all those mark outs!  I have one thing left, which will get done today.  I also have a test today. :(  It's not looking too pretty!  Wish me luck.  It. Will. Be.  Needed.  

Now there's a new list.  The "Don't Forget" list.  

& this is life as I know it...
