PTM // Four Weeks until Departure…

Four more weeks until Pause The Moment REALLY goes LIVE!

To think that I have four more weeks left is… CRAZY! I can remember back when I had 30 weeks left! Most people have asked me if the time has flown since I booked my ticket, and the answer is NO. It seems that the time couldn’t have passed any slower. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this trip for a lifetime now.

Below you’ll get a little insight on what I’ll be doing over the course of the next four weeks, and what I’ll be doing IN four weeks.

Four more weeks of…

• Sleeping in my comfy bed
• Listening to my dog bark
• Using my 40″ Flat Panel TV as a giant computer monitor

• A fast internet connection
• Living in good ol’ Bridgewater
