there are certain things i promised not to let you know.
moving up hill.
functioning at a higher level.
laughing whole-heartedly for the
first time in months.
feeling secure.
feeling productive.
after the fire of feburary 3rd, 2007... the roomies and I were finally able to move back into our home this past Friday. We were homeless for an entire month, and it was hell. Living out of our cars, sleeping on random couches ...driving back and forth between ATL and Gwinnett. But afterall, our power is on, our heat works ... and despite the major hole in our living room wall and ceiling, we have our home back. I missed it. I missed my "family". For once I feel comfortable, I don't have the urge to run, I don't feel trapped. It's H O M E.
I'm finally healing from the loss of one of the very best friends I've ever known. And even though our friendship developed in a short span of 6 months ... they were some of the best months of my life. Memories I will cherish forever ...a bond I will dearly miss but will be eternally grateful for.
I love my job... Hard Rock is my second home, everyone there feels like family, a second support group, I love that security. I love being good at my job and feeling the appreciation, I love that they named me Empolyee of the Month, and after only 6 months of working there ... it's the small things in life.
I'm finally going back to school this coming Fall.
Not to GSU however, but to SCAD Atlanta.
I was accepted Fall 2005 but did not enroll, they did hold my application however, and I plan to
follow through with that now. I'm not sure what my focus will be ... I am leaning toward fashion design, but also seriously considering interior design, either/or ..I'd be content.
This house , I swear, I can't get enough of it. We have five amazing kids living under one roof [five now, due to Britney's boyfriend, Patrick moving in with her]. Five of us, and five dogs.
We adopted two new dogs from the humane society this weekend. A 3 mo. lab/chow puppy named King and a year old american pit bull named Vincent. We now have a farm of 5 dogs ...soon to [possibly] be six: Audio, my chihuahua; Jade, Patrick's german/pit mix; Vincent, Zack's pit; Zoe, Britney's Sharpei, and King, Brit's new mutt puppy. It's chaotic and loud 24/7 but never a dull moment and plenty of love and snuggling to go around. It makes my heart warm.
I'm happy ... for the first time in a while, I can say that in all sincerity.
