2010 People!!


So I jut rang in the New Year in Lawrenceburg, IN with Patrick and my Gma Lulu. It was a great time! 2009 was an interesting year for me. I decided to return to the US from Spain which was very difficult for me. I got home and was lost, excited, confused, depressed, happy...every emotion one can possible have. I ended up trying to lean on friends of mine who have shown their true colors and really are not "friends" to me. I took this pretty hard as people do. I was at the lowest part of my life and not really for any particular reason, but I was. I have never felt "depressed" and I never really understood when Sara would tell me how she felt...now I understand. It's so hard to put yourself in others shoes until you do it. It wasn't planned but that darkness opened up onto a beautiful new life. Patrick moved to IN and then to KY and we started our journey together. I'm definitely not saying it was all roses, but we learned a lot about ourselves and each other. That being said I found a job that I was good at, realized jobs that I wouldn't want to do again, and found out what I've always known...Follow your heart!

That brings me to today. Patrick and I have been talking about living near the beach and have thrown around many ideas but have decided to GO FOR IT and move to Charleston, South Carolina. People think we're nuts because we make a decision and do it unlike everyone else who bitches about their situation and does nothing to change it. That's what I love about Patrick and I. We do things. He said babe I'll move there and he did. We said we'll stay and visit the family a bit and we did. We said we would choose a place for us to explore that we both could grow...we are! Some are nervous for us and I appreciate the concern, but I have this feeling it'll all work out!! The next update will be me in our new apartment loving our new neighbors and our new life. I hope you can come and visit and see what we do with the rest of 2010!

You're wonderful! I really feel we have grown closer since you left for Spain and them came back and I hope it keeps on growing. I can relate to many things you have said. I feel like I am beginning my own "journey" by going back to school and hopefully starting my own company. The journey to well-being starts by turning towards people, behavior, and situation that enhance your life and well-being, and away from those that don't. I can't wait to visit SC!
