Countdown to a New Chapter

In 14 days, I will be on a plane to start a new life. I shouldn't be nervous; after all, I'm going to live with my best friend, but I haven't been able to shake the feeling. Then sitting at work today I realized its because it'll be the first time in 8 years that I've had to make friends.

I don't even know how to do that. It's different as a kid because that's what kids do. In high school, it was hard at first because everyone knew each other since 1st grade, but when I moved to Okinawa it was easy because we were all kids in a foreign land. Same with going to college. This is the first time as an adult that I will be the new kid.

I hope I can find a place at the lunch table.

Today is where my book begins

I have taken one step closer to starting my new life. I turned in my notice to work and by the end of this month, I will be joining my fiance in Washington. I absolutely cannot wait to get there; I just wish it were HERE already. I should be wishing that time would go by a little slower, since I have about a million things to do between now and then, but my need to be with him and beginning our lives together overrides that.

(I was going to insert a cute picture of us, but can't figure out how to make it not show up at the top of the page)

In other news, look for an update post regarding "THE WAX." I'm due for a touch up around the first week of February. Should be interesting, to say the least.
