Retired

Well, today is the day.

It is my last day of work before our new adventure really begins. After months of planning and counting down the days, it finally feels real.

I am officially stepping away from work for a while and could not be more excited about what comes next.

Let my two month retirement begin!

Busy Week and Big Life Updates

Dear friends,

Sorry for being a little MIA lately. This past week has been completely packed with events and responsibilities.

There were definitely a few challenging moments. My car broke down, and I have been running on very little sleep because of a busy work schedule.

But there were also some really great things that happened this week.

First, I got to reunite with a great friend who recently moved back to town. It was so nice catching up after being apart for a while.

I also officially put in my two weeks notice at work, which feels like a huge step toward our upcoming adventure.

On top of that, we paid off the remaining balance on our cozy studio condo, and my car is finally fixed.

After such a busy stretch, I am really looking forward to having more time on my hands and hopefully getting a full night of sleep again.

More exciting updates coming next week.

Counting Down to Our Yucatán Adventure

I am up early this morning, sipping on some coffee before work. I still have about an hour and a half before I need to leave, but something feels a little different today.

On a normal Monday morning, Shane (my boyfriend) would have already been at work for three and a half hours. Today he is sitting here with me, drinking coffee and relaxing.

Yes, it is official. He is finished working until after our getaway.

It feels pretty great knowing that his vacation has already started. I will feel even better when I can finally say I do not have to go to work either.

For now, I am officially in countdown mode.

My Work Countdown

Here is where things currently stand:

• 5 weeks left at my job

• 3 weeks until I put in my two week notice

• 23 actual work days left

• 32 days until my last day with this company

And the best part?

Only 19 days after my last day of work, our Yucatán adventure begins.

The countdown has officially started.
