mixture of both worlds
So, it is possible to mix two worlds. Katie Carey came down Friday evening and stayed until about 30 minutes ago. It was so refreshing to see her and talk about things from home. Last week was a week from hell and it was so good to just let loose and have fun. Katie enjoyed herself, maybe too much Friday night, but hey, welcome to Charleston. We just enjoyed the city with 75 degree weather, wonderful food, and great company. She and my friends really got along and that thrilled me to death. I am so psyched about coming home on Tuesday, I can hardly wait. It will be so good to see everyone, since I didn't get to over fall break. Now, I just have to get through the next two days, that is without spending money, the haradest part. I now realize that it is ok to have two worlds, and it is possible to combine them. Katie and I were talking over brunch this morning about how things have changed or how they haven't changed, and she came to the conclusion that I haven't changed. I am the same old JoBeth, full of Southern charm and love of my friends, that has a slightly different lifestyle. I might do things now that I didn't do five months ago, but that doesn't change me altogether or make me a stranger. In fact, I think it just makes me more comfortable. As Thanksgiving approches and I anxiously look forward to the holiday season, I am so pleased with all that surrounds me right now. I have wonderful new friends that take care of me and that I deeply care for and a wonderful 2nd home where I love to be. My family is full of love and concern for me, and yes, my old friends are still devoted and full of fun and love. SO, life is good. In fact, it is really good and I couldn't ask for more, except maybe for Tuesday to get here a little faster.
