update.

Long time, no blog.
I've been busy with school and work lately, but this week is spring break. Halle-freakin-lujah! I can't believe it's already Thursday though. Of course, I wanted to be further along with the mountain of homework I needed to do this week, but let's face it...that didn't happen. I don't think it happens to anyone, honestly. The road to undone homework is paved with good intention :)
I guess I have one major announcement to make to blogland:

I'm moving! Next week.

Back when I wrote my birthday post, I said this was my year. Welp, it is! I'm growing up and making my own decisions. With that being said, I am grateful to have the support of my family. Talking to my mom about it was easier than I thought, which I am so glad for! I was dreading it the whole day on Wednesday, but then when I told her I was going to meet up with my future roommates, it was the perfect lead into this conversation! I was so glad for that. She encouraged me to wait til fall (as she has since I told her about this apt) and I calmly told her that it was simple--I feel good about this decision and that I should go now. Then I explained that I didn't ignore the bad feeling I had back when I was going to move in the fall and everything worked out--I got the job with 4-H, I was able to REALLY connect with my old buddies because I was here, etc.--and that I don't feel that I should ignore the good feeling about going this time :) and she said ok and told me if I feel good about it, then I should go for it. I really am excited. My room-roomie is from Washington and she just got here today. I haven't met her, but we've talked quite a bit and she seems cool. I have met the other two girls though, and they're cool too. I think we are going to have a good time. I think it will be weird adjusting to roommates again, but it will be fun!

I do have to say that I grateful for the not-so-awesome times that have led up to this, that have caused me to have patience in the past year ish. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am happy to have a job on campus, connections that brought me to this apartment and friends who I will get to see all the time now! Everything is falling into place (even though that's corny).

xoxox,
