Okay. I am terrible. My last post was all about how I was feeling so inspired, I need to blog more, etc...And here I am, MONTHS later. SO many months later! *Slaps hand*
Well, lets just say life has taken a few unexpected turns since my last post.
For example, I am now living back in my hometown. Yep, moved from T-Town and back to where it all started for me. It's a very surreal feeling, to say the least. It is a strange thing to move back in the home I lived in previously for many years. The only way I can describe it is the comfortableness of it is still there, but yet it feels so...foreign at the same time. 2 years away changes a lot, even if it doesn't seem that long of a time. There is a quote from the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It says: "It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you" Could not be more true.
Of course, in addition to leaving Tulsa, I had to quit a job that I really loved and find myself missing often. Unfortunately it came to other reasons for me to leave other than my relocation, which really sucks. :( But life is life, and I firmly believe everything happens for a reason. May seem sort of confusing for those who don't know the situation, and for that I apologize. But it is one of the big changes and needed to be mentioned! So, what is my job now? I get to pick up a young girl from school on some days of the week, help her with her homework, then take her to gymnastics! :) So far I've really enjoyed it and getting to know her, and look forward to the rest of the school year!
New school with this relocation, also. Still feeling it out, but I think I'm gonna be happy with being a Bronco :) The only thing that stinks is the drive...
BUT:
My mom is wanting to sell this place I've called my home for 10 years. And move closer to her work. It makes complete sense, and will be an easier commute for me as well. Not to mention, the only thing that was keeping her in this town was me going to school and the activities I was involved in. So why not? I must admit though, I think I'm already having separation anxiety. :/ But, change is good. Change is good, change is good, change is good. :)
So, lets review:
-New location
-New job
-New school
-New future home
Phew! Although these are kind of big things, not one of them is a bad change, and I sincerely hope they aren't coming off as so. They are exciting! And come with many positive things! I do miss somethings though about living in Tulsa, and here are a few:
My family up there. I miss my niece so bad that I'm quite literally looking at the computer with very wet eyes. Also, my little hansom nephew. I got to see his entire first year of life, and I hate missing the growing up that he is continuing to do! Plus my great sister. And her crazy husband, my bro in law. Who would've thought I'd miss being made fun of by him?
I miss the "scene." Brookside, Cain's, Cherry St...but I can always visit all of these things, they are just a drive away :)
Positive things!!
For example, I am getting to spend quite a bit more time with my boyfriend/best friend. To say getting to see him so much more (when he's home from his job, of course) is great would be an understatement. Lets try maybe wonderful, fantastic, amazing...I could go on and on :) I know there are also gonna be changes in that department (at least, I hope!!) and I'm very excited to say the least!
Okay, okay...time to move on to very recent things going on.
I swam in the ocean last week!! For the first time ever! *Huge grins all around* I had the pleasure and great opportunity to go on vacation with Cameron and his family. Could he have a more awesome family? I'm serious. They are SO fun! And kind, and hilarious, and welcoming...Really, I love them. The plan was to go to the Outer Banks in North Carolina, stay in this wonderful beach house just a walk away from the ocean, for a full week. Well...a little hurricane named Earl made sure that didn't happen. (I have so much resentment against this little hurricane named Earl, that I'll prob subconsciously dislike any man I meet with the name "Earl." ...Sorry all you "Earls" out there, you've been warned.) So, we left the house on Wednesday and traveled up the east coast. We stopped in a cute little town called Harpers Ferry, spent the next day in Gettysburg (which was so cool, and we got to go to a supposed haunted house called the Jennie Wade House!), and the next at Cameron's sister's house in northern Penn. There we got to see her beautiful town and home and purchase yummy homemade foods made by the Amish locals. Even though the week wasn't anything like what we were expecting, it still turned out to be a wonderful time for everyone. I am so thankful I was invited to come along and it will be a trip I will not forget.
Well, I better wrap this up. I never intend for these posts to be so long, but they always have a way of getting that way ;) I WILL write again soon!
