40 Weeks Later...
Yes, my livejournal tells me that I have not updated it in a whopping 40 weeks! Well, it didn't actually tell me that like it whispered in my ear at night, "Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeni, you have not upppppppppdated me in 40 weeeeeeeeeeeeks! Do it or I will murder you." No, it did not speak to me in such a manner. But my friend Alex did Google me the other day (that's what she said), and he pointed out that I did in fact have a livejournal. And I remembered it to be so.
I guess I'm going to try to start using it again. Now is a good time...I'm about to embark on a new chapter of my life, one that will be moving me away from a lot of my friends and family. So having a place to put down frequent updates to keep everyone in the loop will be a good thing.
For those not "in the know", I'm going to be leaving Los Angeles for the greener pastures of Kentucky. I'll be living in Shepherdville at first but my boyfriend and I hope to find a place in Louisville once I get settled with a job and other various necessities.
A lot of people think the decision is sudden. But in actuality, this has been several years in the making. Los Angeles, while supplying me with memories that will last a lifetime and opportunities I could have never dreamed I'd get the chance to tackle, was never "home" to me. I met amazing people, life-long friends that made living here so much more bearable, but the honest truth of the matter is this is not where I want to build an extended life and it's certainly not where I want to raise children.
People wonder about my relationship too. And I can understand that. It's been...rocky. It's been...complicated. But the one overriding thing it always was were two people with a deep love, respect, and admiration for each other just not quite at a place where they could be together. Until now. And it's not going to be easy, I have no grandious dreams of us packing up my car, driving into the sunset (well, the sun sets in the West and we're heading East, so I guess that isn't really logical...moving on...), and living happily ever after. This is going to be work, in more ways then I can even divulge at this present moment.
But I really feel, deep in my heart (I know, a cliché of the ultimate magnitude but it works), it will be worth it.
So yeah...I'll update this a lot more often. ;)
