Halloween!

This has been such a long day (and night). I woke up at 7am to find out about GED testing (since colleges here in Az. want proof of graduation. Being home schooled has its down sides).
Found out I must first take a pretest, since they just passed a law here requiring it. That is tomarrows plan.

My movers showed up! They were quick... like super quick. Sadly my book shelves got pretty messed up (mostly because the movers that picked them up didn't wrap them). Everything else seems ok, but I won't know for sure till its all unpacked. No out of the blue charges this time, and the guys were funny. We joked about us all being jewish, and they seemed like good people.

Got a nap in after they left, and spent some time alone. My brother, and sister in law went out, so I was a bit lonley. I miss my friends, and my boyfriend who I left back in michigan. It sucks that I had to leave everyone.

On a good note after my brother and his girl got back we headed to go trick or treating with my other brother, his daughter, and my other sister in law.
We were this big group. Lol and me and my brothers had time to talk about the good old days, when we would trick or treat with my mom. It was nice, oh and I was dressed as Super Girl, such a fun costume.

Frontier airlines

So as I said before I got my tickets from Frontier airlines. I am not sorry at all, all their employees were great. The flights were pleasent and easy, and my luggage got where it needed to be. I would highly recomend! They rock. Comfy seats, free tv during your flight (if you sign up as a frequent flyer), and all their employees are amazingly nice. As I said they weren't the cheapest on paper, but sign up for their second tier (about $40 more), and you get 2 free check bags. Other airlines charge $50 for each check bag, so this is a real deal.
For the price of a ticket and 2 checks at American airlines, I got a ticket and 3 checks from Frontier airlines. Best money saving secret, from my trip.

I have arrived

I have finished my voyage to Arizona, but my story isn't done yet. I have made it to my brother's and saw my neice and nefews. Now I will start to settle in, and get my life started here. As I learn new things and go new places I will continue to write.

Denver

I just made it to my half way point, a stop in Denver. The airport is lovely, huge and very interesting. Though its kinda lonley traveling alone. I can't wait to see a firmiliar face. I'm still very tired, maybe I will nap on the next flight. I hope it goes as smoothly as the first.

Airport!

I have made it to the airport to start the first leg of my trip. I'm flying Frontier, which is new for me but I hope it will go well. Check in was a breeze, their staff is super nice, and flying out of Grand Rapids was a great idea. Very quick and no problems at all. I'm used to flying out of Detroit which is always packed, and super slow. This is a nice change.

Today is the day.

I can't sleep, in 3 hours I will be heading to the airport, and to Arizona. I'm so nervious! I'm gonna miss so much here, friends, family, my boyfriend. Please someone tell me everything will be ok....

The cost of moving

So yesterday I went to UPS to mail 11 boxes, the guys there were great. Very kind workers very professional, and helpfull. The hard part came when paying over $400 for my boxes. Granted my boxes were very very heavy, but dropping that kind of cash sucked!

Here's a sucky note so I went to FedX and they are double the price of UPS, also they refused to send all but one of my boxes. The worker said it was because "they are storage boxes, not shipping boxes" bull! Their boxes that they tried to sell me looked exactly the same as the ones I bought at WallMart, except the FedX logo on the sides.
Whatever my mom agreed to go to UPS for me on Monday. Thank god for moms!

My last full day in my home state.

Its 3:00am on October 29th 2011, and it my last full day in michigan. There is so much to do and so little time. Its hard to think I am leaving the state where I was born, and where so many of my happy memories took place. I am excited but also scared. I want to see my family so bad, but what if I don't like it in Arizona? What if I can't get along with my brother (which I will be staying with)? What if I get home sick?
This will be a whole new experence for me, please wish me luck.

4 days till move

4 days, just 4 days! I am a mess and so is my apartment. There is so much to do, in so little time. So much to think about, and to plan, I'm not sure how I will do it all, but it must be done. I'm so worried that I won't be ready, or will be late, or will forget, or lose something important. I just need more time! I know if I had just one more week I could do this, but let's face it we always want more time, its human nature....

Movers!

Ok so I spent the last week running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I was buying my plane ticket, finding a moving company, packing, stressing, and worring I wouldn't get everything done.

Well first I have my ticket threw Fronteer airlines, they weren't the cheapest, but they are allowing me to bring 2 free check bags, and that for sure covered the little extra I am paying. I'm taking an extra check just because I went overbord packing, but its only $50 more.

The stress attack of the week came when packing for the movers. I tend to procrastinate, so I was dragging my feet on packing boxes, and left most of it till last minuet (as in last night). Bad idea! I would advise no one to ever do this. I was up all last night, and was packing up till literly the last second.

Thankfully the movers were amazing. I hired E-Z Movers, they have the nifty pink trucks. They came in marked everything, and didn't even get crappy that my stuff didn't match my invoice list (I was over by a few boxes). And they were fast! Like super fast, I was amazed they were done in like 30 min. I know I didn't have alot, but thats still amazing. They were also really nice and didn't complain that my boxes were super heavy.
I did have to pay an extra fee (long carry fee), which kinda sucked since I am low on cash, but they were cool about it, and explained it to me. Since I had looked it up online before I knew it was probley coming, and they wern't trying to pull one over on me.
I'm just gonna say I hope the guys that drop my stuff off, are this professional, and not jerks.

After the movers came I had some cider (one of the major things I will miss about Mi.), and then I went to bed, since I hadn't slept in over 30 hours.
