Day 1 starts tomorrow! YEEHAW! I can't wait until Janell gets here. It's going to be sooo much fun. :) We've got some stuff planned for each day. She's funny cause she misses so many different things that we have out here and she can't get back there! :) Like Eegee's, a sub-sandwich place that kicks butt and is only available in Tucson, Castles & Coasters, an amusement park here, and as she puts it REAL mexican food. I'm talking authentic sit down mexican....so I guess that means she loves food. :) I'm trying to convince her to let me take pictures of her while she's here but so far no luck.

Missed an update to the Countdown Calendar? Check out all the days in the archives...

You might have noticed "Day 2" of the update calendar has been greyed out. For the duration of the day, no updates will be done to the site, out of remembrance of Dakota. Saturday, Day 2, has been set for the funeral. Normal vacation updates will resume on Sunday, Day 3, and will conclude on Monday with Day 4, and the official launch date of the new site sections (even though most are up now anyway....but I figure I should have them all done by then.)

Finally! An update that's on time! (Well, early actually if you notice the time stamp.) But in the process, I've also gone back and updated the previous entries with their songs too.

Since today is T-1, I thought I'd put a song that really says something cool. No matter how far away you may be, you're still home, in their hearts. So here is Lonestar's "I'm Already There", the final song before Janell's arrival!

This trip for Janell and Cheryl will unfortunately be a sad one. Their beloved dog Dakota passed away earlier today. We take comfort in the fact that he has found the Rainbow Bridge, where he will be reunited with his family, Janell and Cheryl.

Behind once again. And I still haven't even posted the T-3 song! I know I said this before...but tonite? ;)
UPDATE: The T-2 Song is Evan and Jaron's "The Distance".

OH...and 65 hours left. :) *squeels*

No I'm not as loopy as I look. Yes, today is T-3 (not T-2). Wanna know why? Cause I only switch to 2 when that's all that's left. Right now we've got several hours before it's just two days until Janell arrives....technicalities are a bitch ain't they? :)

Uh oh....I'm in trouble now....I've fallen behind in the countdown! I haven't uploaded the song of the day yet, but it should be up tonite when I get home.
UPDATE: The T-3 Song is "Somewhere Out There"

Having a mega problem sleeping tonite...so I called Janell. Talk about a wild conversation! They're hooking me up now with this guy in Kentucky. This could be interesting...

Incidentally, minor changes to the T-Minus countdown graphix. I'll be chronically the 4 days Janell is here too...you might even get a picture or two....of course, that is if Janell will let me. *innocent pouty look* (Just laying it on thick, baby!)

Okay...it's REALLY bad when you start counting hours at over 3 days....but.... :) ...since I'm strange anyway....84 hours to go. *JAG jumps for joy....then suddenly realizes he SOOO has to get cleaning.*

We're at T-minus-4 days! YEAH! 4 days until Janell arrives!! So let's start the festivities. Today's song is Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles". Download and listen to the MP3 here. If you like it, be sure to buy it from Amazon or whomever. It's currently a single release, but her album is coming soon, and I can't wait! :)
