Blogging and Blogging and Blogging

    My plan is to become an active blogger again! I am trying to make it a part of my daily routine. Speaking of, that is one of my favorite reasons to be working again, to be able to have an active schedule. Also, I enjoy the time crunch in my day because it eliminates laziness, which I just seem to be chalked full of. And I can't deny I love that check being placed in my hand with my name on it!
    So recently, I've thought alot about my move. This may seem to be a small change for others was, in fact, a huge deal to me! I decided to list a few of my personal ups and downs to moving.

CONS:
-I miss out on things going on back "home." For instance, Graham and I can't drive back home every weekend (seriously people, it's 250 miles!)  so this weekend we missed out on Listi's grad party at the river. They all had a great time, but looking at their pictures on Facebok just makes me wish I was able to be there.
- Having my own set of friends. Graham has a great group of friends, they care about him and since they do, they have all extended their kindness towards me. But that's just it- they are still his friends! Hanging out with bachelors all the time is exhausting :(
-Knowing I can rely on Mama to have to a good old home- cooked meal waiting on my arrival. I actually enjoy cooking, but it takes forever! Then sometimes I am so tired that I just bust out the cereal and milk. Not winning any wife points with that one.

PROS:
-Graham and I are solely on our own. We work hard, we make money, we pay the bills. It's kind of euphoric knowing that you are part of the reason your lights are on.
-The whole distance thing is behind us! Prior to our wedding each weekend Graham or I, Graham 85% of the time, had to drive to another state to see each other. When Graham came he stayed the weekend at my Grandma's and when I came I was only able to stay one day. Now every morning and night we see each other, I couldn't be more happy about it.
-I'm helplessly in love with Graham and would move to the ends of the Earth if he was there... Recently I shared with a friend our first rocky spot during our relationship. Graham and I were somewhat serious, though we had only dated a few weeks, and he asked if I would be willing to move to Idaho with him, the same place where he served his mission. I totally stopped in my tracks and thought that might be the end of us. After careful contemplation and many, many more memories, I knew that I couldn't live without him! (With that being said I *hope* to live in the Georgia- Florida area forever!)

    So moving is not for everyone, and I thought it wasn't for me. But I'm starting to like it, more and more. I miss everyone back home immensely but I'm growing to love this big city. Who would have ever thought that a little old country bumpkin, afraid of frogs and turtles, declaring she'd never leave home would do just that? All in the name of love! It's been a crazy ride...
