This is it. My first REAL blog. I wonder how many takers I will have? *shrugs* This is something I want to keep up with continuously...something to look forward to. I want to share my experiences, or lack of, with people. I am not starving for attention, I just love writing (typing!?!)
I want to say that I am your average 20 year old girl, but I do not think that I am. (I am comparing this to girls my age from my graduating class.) The past 3 years of my life have been very spontaneous. A lot of ups and downs. I graduated high school and dropped out of college. I guess the first time around just was not my cup of tea, but I will pay ($$) for that. After that I got some sort of hitch in my giddy-up and decided I wanted to move in with my boyfriend. That was also another decision that might have not been the best, but what's done is done and I would not change it now. From then on, it was living with Brad (the boyfriend). Do not get me wrong, I absolutely love Brad, but the living experience is not all it adds up to be. You have to learn to change your life and respect a person in a whole new way. They have their ways and you have yours, and there are boundaries. We have lived in so many different places just trying to make ME happy. I'm selfish.
Another Chapter. We moved to Washington in October of 2010. Talk about an amazing adventure. A little under 2,200 miles away from our small home town. The little town of Oak Harbor has been such a wonderful experience. So beautiful. We have had the pleasure of meeting some fantastic people. Those people have been my home away from home and they will be life long friends. Brad and I were able to spend the first 6 months here with our nephew and I am so thankful for that. Even though some plans have went the wrong direction and unexpected things happened, I do not regret the decision to move here. All the great talk about OH, WA and we are planning on moving back to our hometown. There truly is no place like home. I have not physically seen my family and friends in over 6 months, 7 months by the time I move back, and I am more than ready. Being away from the people you love most for that long, really makes you think differently. I feel like I have taken a lot of time for granted. I am ready to have fun with friends and just sit and "be" with my grandparents in their home. Plus, I am ready for the great adventure of a road trip!
Tomorrow, Brad and I are going to Seattle to explore. We are going to Pike's Place and I am hoping for no rain and a lot of sun-shine. That's a rarity here.
Now, I need to finish this not-so-important blog and start doing some homework. :)
