Wow. It still sounds weird saying that. I’ve waited so long for this 🙂

I was inspired to post a life update today when I found a note I wrote to myself the day I was moving:

——————————————————————————————————————————

Is this actually happening?

I feel so many emotions; happy, nervous, relieved, and blessed to name a few. A focus of mine these past few weeks has been becoming content with the unknown of my future (I’m a HUGE planner so this has been a challenge.)

One journey at a time as my nana says 🙂 

So off I go – today – to start my next chapter. Just me, dad, and two cars full of literally everything I own. Big drive ahead. Lots of time to reflect, plan, and listen to my favorite podcasts. Wish me luck 🙂 

you got this.

to me,

Things are better now. You aren’t so anxious and you made it safe and sound. You’re learning a lot about living in a big city! As well as making the best of the environment. It’s not quite like back home, yet when it snows you still get a little piece of WI weather. (Except they have no idea how to snowplow efficiently here!)

Your job is good. Ryan is good. Your apt. is exactly what you wished it would be. And you’ve even made a friend! 

More updates to come as I settle in. Thank you for reading. Make someone smile today 🙂
