Long time, no see
Wow! I have seriously been neglecting this thing! I tend to do that though. Something new happens and I go into my shell and hide until I think it's safe enough to come out again. I was never a big fan of change. :)
But nevertheless, I am here. Here being Lakeland, my new home. I'm hoping that it will stay that way for a while too. It's odd being here; a new place for me, and yet it's already full of memories thanks to Elissa & Emily. It's undeniable that God brought me and has been preparing this place for me for quite some time. What that means, I don't exactly know. Hopefully it's gonna be fun though! :-D
Life is good here. Quiet and a little slow, but good. It's weird that I feel more isolated here than I did in New Mexico. Here I'm the only one who's new. The only who's unsure of what she's doing. Last year, I at least had a group of people trapped in the box with me; now it's the Jenny Jones show and I'm not sure I like being the star.
What am I talking about? Of course I love it! I always thought I'd be too paranoid to live on my own, but I've done surprising well so far. I love grocery shopping just for me and watching TV just for me and wasting time on the computer just for me. I love washing dishes at my own pace (which is usually about once every three days). I love not having to worry about sharing hot water when I take a shower. I love spending all day Saturday in my pajamas (if all is going according to plan!). I love eating healthy and exercising (although I know that Billy Blanks is going to be the death of me one of these days!). I love renting movies, although I'd rather go to the real thing if only I had someone to go with me. I love making a steady income and buying new things! I feel like my whole life is starting over again.
I don't like making new friends though. I've always sucked at that! I miss all the people who used to be a part of my life. I don't want to go back and relive those moments (New Mexico again -> NEVER), I just wish I could pack all of those amazing people in my suitcase and bring them along with me as I go. I guess that's kinda why I'm writing this. It's my invitation to come with me, stay a part of my world, experience my life even though you're not here. I miss you lots! I know that I'm not always the best correspondent and I'd promise to do better, but we both know I won't. Just give me chance and check up on my every once in a while, ok? Thanks buddy!
