I was worried for a while there that I wasn't going to go, we've had a real emotional rollercoaster going on here. I got a job offer that was supposed to start last month, an state active duty position with the National Guard. But it keeps getting pushed back, and now it probably won't happen until after annual training, which begins on the 6th. We've had a bit of a change in the lineup, my friend and his gf aren't coming, but my youngest daughter has decided to join me. She's currently at her grandmother's house in Modesto, my MILs husband passed away on Monday and kid #2 was very close with him so she's down keeping grandma company for a while.
So We'll leave my house on June 30th, make a stop in Modesto to pick up kid #2 and then continue on to the Anaheim Carriage Inn. Since AT begins on the day we had planned to leave I will drive from Anaheim straight to Paso Robles and kid #2 will drive north with my parents to stay while I'm gone. I will get to have my own POV at AT!!! Not that they'll let me drive it while we're there, but not having to ride in a charter bus with a couple hundred dudes is so awesome.
It's getting close! I'm so excited!
