“They say California's the big burrito; Texas is a big taco right now. We want to follow that through. Florida is a big tamale.”

Ashley and I are going to Florida! I haven't told my dad and judy yet though... she told us we couldn't have any *unpaid* vacation days... and i'm like screw you, i'll take the time i want, you barely pay me anyways! ugh... and i already booked it and bought a ticket there. i don't have the outlined itinerary that we started but it's going to be awesome. starting off in ft. lauderdale and then to orlando and then we're taking the rental car up through the southern states and going up to see tony. it's going to be amazing.

things have been going alright lately... ash and i are also starting to train for the triathlon that we did last year as a part of a team but we're doing it on our own. so i'm super excited about it and i keep telling everyone but i keep getting doubts which is discouraging and motivating as well. my mom was the first one, she was almost trying to talk me out of it. then i talked to julie and she said her and mom talked about it and same thing. it's like eff you guys, at least we're doing something with our lives and setting goals and shit, i know you both don't have any idea about that. ugh, annoying!


so i also talked to spencer about moving down and everything and he is for sure going to join the Air national guard... it will be so good for him. so i'm excited. so the timing would be perfect i would be leaving for LA and he'd be leaving for boot camp in lubbock, tx for 8 1/2 weeks and then tech training for however long after that. so i'll be getting my feet wet down there and seeing how i like it and everything and we'll just play it by ear for our relationship. he doesn't want to stop me from doing anything and has already moved around and experienced living other places and i'm itching to do so. so if i like it and things are going on he'll probably move with me there and if not then we'll probably end up moving back to around here. there's places down there for the ANG down in socal so he'd be set down there too.

anyhoo... my first trip down there with intentions of making some progress is this weekend. i'm going to stay with joy and see what her situation is down there and hopefully i can move in with her once i get down there. i'm flying in thursday night we're going to warped tour on friday and then i have the weekend for relaxing and beaching and talking to her about how everything's going and if she still wants to stay down there and what not.
