Last week in Idaho

The room I am blogging from is currently filled with boxes. I feel like Milton in office space when he is moved to the basement, although I do not have a red stapler to keep me company. Almost everything in the house is packed up except for the bare neccesities like clothes, food, and my computer.

I have mixed feelings about leaving since I have had so many good experiences and great friendships that I am leaving behind. I am not sad to be leaving behind the winters although I can now proudly exclaim:

I survived Rexburg!
(with all my fingers and toes)

I think that should be placed on a T-shirt or something because hey - thats an accomplishment, forget about the chemistry degree. The picture below was taken on tax day this year, thats right the middle of april two weeks before I graduated.

Anyway, we started into the cleaning process by filling holes and wiping down doors / walls with scuff marks. We have also been working on getting the address changed with several companies and cancelling services from others. Most importantly, I have been trying to sort out who will provide the internet access and at what cost. I know that we want to use the iProvo network (city maintained and privately managed), but there are two companies that provide the service at about the same price as cable internet but has a speed of 10 Mbps as compared to the 1.5 with cable. I attempted to make some calls and found out one office was closed on friday and the other kept me on hold for 10 minuutes to speak to sales rep before an automated voice notified me that I was fourth in line to have my call answered. At that point I decided that I was tired of waiting and hung up. I hope to drop in one more post before we finally leave on tuesday, but it may have to come from the laptop. Until then - happy blogging
