Update? Really? Wow! How exciting!
Well it's been a while. Yes I know... But I haven't really been on LJ as much as I used to. Well as all of you know I've made it to Ohio. For a while I was unhappy to be here. I just wanted to come home. But, since Derrick has come back I have been much happier. Still a few things are difficult in comparrison to what I come from. But, I am ready to be here with everything that I have. I am comfortable, and extremely grateful to be where I am. It's been a hard transition, but I think every move is, no matter whether it's in state or out.
I miss everyone a whole lot, but I am getting over not having them so close. A lot of my people weren't too close to me anyhow. Although the people I worked with I saw on a weekly basis. I think getting used to not having that has been the hardest. I was so used to the interaction with all of my peeps at work. But, now that I look at it, I see myself not in so much drama. Since I've moved I haven't smoked 1 cigarette! I have stopped completely! Now that's pretty damn awesome. When I'd be @ home with Claire before I felt I really needed one, but now, I am able to get out more and she is able to get tired more easily because of that.
Claire is now in gymnastic classes! She is so good! She just gets up on the parrelel bars and holds herself up. She is almost able to get all the way across the balance beam without any help. And most of all, she gets to interact with children her own age! She has such a blast! All of the teachers love her, and so do the parents. They all get such a kick out of how she acts/reacts with things! It's amazing. She is making so many "friends" too. I know at that age, anyone who says "hi" is a friend. But, it's just good for her to get out and play with kids. It teaches her how to play, and how to share!
Derrick is finally home. He isn't travelling anymore. That was such a task. I hated it so much, but what can ya do when you get thrown out of your residence 2 months prior to agreement. I mean, really, all we could do was cope with all the bull shit that happened. And with that came the travelling. Which, in the long run I feel will help his performance within the company. He's learned so much with all the travelling. All the laws and such that IF we didn't move here when we did, he would have probably had to catch up on them in the mid of opening, which would have most likely made his job that much harder and stressful. It was hard, but it was worth it. Plus it made he and I that much happier to see each other.
His store still is not open, but will be 4/19. Until than he is working within the store getting everything set up. Which is good for him because he'll know where everything is, and how everything works so when they open he's right on schedule. He seems very happy with this store. Everything is so damn convienant here. His work is only 5 min from our house. Gosh, it's such a relief to have something so conveinant. Especially if something happens to our car.
So all and all, everything is really going rather awesome! Plus we've started to make some new friends. Derrick has some good people he works with. And I've started meeting some people on myspace. I know, I need to be careful. I usually only meet people with Derrick. Just feel safer that way!
But, so yeah, I keep rambling about nothing. So I should go. Plus I have to pick D up in about 40 min. So, I'll do my best to keep everyone posted! Enjoy your weekend.
Love and miss y'all a bunch! See ya in June!
