Phoenix…

 

Yeah!!!! Kira got the job at the Phoenix Zoo. I’m so excited for her. It’s 32 hrs. a week and pays better than some and not as well as some. But it’s a JOB in a ZOO!!! Yes, Yes, Yes!!!

OMG this is going to be very hard. My insides are jumping for joy and dripping tears.

This really shouldn’t be a huge deal, because she’s been gone before. Four years at college and two internships in different states. We talk on the phone all the time and I know I would be welcome staying with her when I visit. But it’s just not the same as being able to see her face to face and give her a hug.

I guess Skype will have to do for awhile.

We just aren’t certain how or when she is getting out there. David and I are driving Andy and Lauren out to Cincinnati June 4 – June 8 and then we are flying out to Arizona at the end of the month for a wedding. Somehow in the midst of this we need to get her all packed, drive out there, find an apartment and get settled. Maybe her new friend will be able to drive out there with her. That would be pretty cool, they could have some time together, and he could get her settled and see where she’s living. If they are still friends after all those wonderful emotions are shown, then hey, he’s almost done with school. Arizona is a nice place to live, there’s no law that says he has to stay in Minnesota. hmmmm!!
