Its been a while.....

Wow! It has been a while since my last post. I have been extremely busy with my new home (!!), a new "someone", work, school, and whatever other unexpected things happen in my life. If I thought I didn't have a life before....well, I definitely have one now!

My new home is wonderful. I love living on my own and it's everything I always knew it would be. There is never enough time in the day to do everything I need to do, so at least a few hours on the weekend are spent cleaning, organizing, and getting things done! Who knew a home would be so much work?! It's good prepatation for the future, though, so I can't complain. : )

There are a lot of fun things coming up this next week. I knew if I didn't do a post today, it wouldn't happen! My 21st birthday is in 9 days and my new boyfriend, Adrian, is flying in on Friday. I'm really excited for this next week and can't wait to spend time with my friends on Saturday. It's rare that I get to see most of them more than once or twice a month, if that. It's always fun to get together and have a relaxing, awesome day!

My mom and I have gotten significantly closer since I moved out, which I knew would happen, and it's a good feeling. My mom definitely feels like a best friend instead of my mom. I've waited a long time for that to happen! Speaking of best friends, I lost one of my best friends this week. My friend Mary who was living with me packed up all of her things last Friday and moved out. Mary told my parents and I that she was going to live with her aunt in Brentwood, but it turns out, she's living with her boyfriend. That's the short summary of what happened, but it's sad. My parents and I kept discovering lies and it's pretty hurtful when things like that happen. I never want anything in return from my friends. All I ask is that you don't lie to me, and if for some reason you do, don't let it happen again. Just as with Mary, my trust in her is now gone. Mary also disconnected her phone so I won't get to say goodbye to her before she leaves for the Air Force ---- if she's still going.

Besides the tough situations here and there, the good times definitely outweigh the bad.

I hope to keep you all updated more often. Have a great weekend!
