i made it! well, at least i made it to meredith's sweet place. my trip was saturated with love, excitement, food, anticipation, comfort, beauty, art, and true fear of the unknown.

after this trip, i can't help but feel completely satiated. it's now time to find a home and a job. eek eek eek. i'm scared, and resisting the urge to quit and go back up north. setting up life on my own is undesirable, but i just must do it.
Miss Jay! I am so jealous. Have no fear Miss Allison you will be fantastic in all of your new adventures. Give Meredith a squeeze.
ReplyDeleteMiss Jay?!?!?! SHUT UP! That is AWESOME!!! I'm glad you made it safely. Post pics of everything you did. Your life is definitely the most exciting right now.
ReplyDeleteyou can do it! the first few months here on my own in ny, just the four of us, sucked big time! it was so hard. time. i guess that's all it takes. kinds of like you said, it goes so fast. things work out with time. good luck though. it doesn't change the fact that it can be hard and tears are shed and hearts ache for the familiar and loved. i will be thinking of you. so happy you have this blog.
