And so it begins...

Well now that I have gotten that somewhat cryptic and melodramatic title out of the way, I have some interesting news:

We got the house we put an offer on! And the best part... our land-lord will let me have a cat. So, thank you Mr. Awesome-Land-Lord-Guy-I-Have-Never-Met. Is it sad that the best part to me is that I am getting a cat when I am moving to one of the most amazing states in the U.S.? Maybe.

I'll admit I am relieved to finally have a settled place to call home for a few years. Being in the awkward limbo, "I have no idea what the heck is going on" stage definitely was not an easy place to be. Now I can begin my plan of apack. (get it... plan of attack... but I am packing)

I really wish I had a picture of the house to show you, but I actually haven't been to the house. I'm sure mom has a picture buried somewhere I can upload at some point. From what my parent's have told me, it seems like a really awesome house on nice property, with a rocking view. It's Colorado... I dare you to find me a bad view.

So anyways, until I have more interesting news... I am off to Alabama to visit some of my favourite relatives for the week. :) SPRING BREAK HERE I COME! :)

I have a secret to tell

A scary yet adventurous secret. I am moving to Colorado for two years! Well, not just me... My parent's and my little brother are coming as well. My dad just started a new job and they are trying to get an office started out in Denver so my dad is going to help them get it planted. The plan is to move back home to Nashville after that. I'll have to be honest with you... I am a little terrified. I've lived in the South my entire life and have never seen more than two inches of snow. This Southern belle is gonna freeze out there!

   There is so much to look forward to, however. Kayaking (my all time favourite), hiking, snowboarding, skiing. Colorado is the #1 healthiest state in America.

     So as you can see, I have been busy. We love our house so much here so instead of selling it we are going to rent it out. It would be just lovely if we could rent it to someone we know instead of a complete stranger. It's quite weird to think of a random person sleeping in my room. 0.o

     I have been blessed with sweet, supportive and encouraging friends. I keep having mini "freak out sessions" and they continually help get me back to my normally positive outlook on life.

    Today I received a letter that had "Your Daily Dose of Happy" written on it. And it was true. I smiled so big when I read the letter. So thanks Amanda for your excellent cheering up skills.
