I'm here

I'm safe, and didn't die...the cats are ok after the grueling 3 day trip across the country...and now here i am in the middle of nowhere in a desert in nevada somewhere outside of reno...and already bored.

my mom has become my grandmother! proof positive that it happens! we really do become our parents i guess. she now has something like 10 (exaggeration) dogs and my cat that we've had since i was in 3rd grade is still alive, but barely kicking...i don't think he can hear anymore, and his fur has started to look patchy like a really old teddy bear's.

today i have to find time to unpack the truck at my grandma's house and at my storage unit...apparently my parents got a storage space b/c my dad has filled the garage with beer paraphrenalia...he collects beer cans and various other beer related items and has since he was like 10...so he has A LOT!! of stuff.

my dad and i are going out camping and hiking this weekend...that should be a lot of fun, i haven't had much alone time with my dad in a really long time...and i'm still daddy's little girl. so i'm very excited at the prospect of spending a whole weekend camping and hiking with him...after all, he's the one who got me interested in camping and hiking in the first place...my dad always was an "outdoorsy" kind of guy...in other news, it's very odd to see him and have him not be in the military anymore....he had to get up at 4 this morning for work and it !!just now!! occurred to me that he wasn't doing that to go to the base...*very suspicious slow strange voice* he......has......some.......other.......job.....now......

and i don't even know what it is...ha!

ok look for more entries soon...today is just an update to let everybody know i got here ok and that i will return to the e-world soon...
