back by popular demand...

Well, I'm finally back. After getting bombarded with calls and emails daily asking me to please resume my blogging life, I've given in. So, to all my fans out there (and you know who you are)....this is for you.

A lot has happend since September.
I've moved 3 times.
Planned a wedding.
Worked at 3 different places.
Had my first wedding shower.
Won an easter egg hunt with my 2 year old nephew.
Been to Ohio for the first time.
Celebrated a 2 year anniversary with Mark.
etc., etc., etc.

It's been good. I'd recommend it. Except the whole moving and working at different jobs every 8 weeks thing. That sucks. By the time you get settled in, figure out the system, get to know the people, and feel comfortable doing everything you need to do, you are more than halfway finished and have to start it all over again.

I am now currently living in Greenville. I like this city.
I just moved from Spruce Pine, NC. That is nowhere close to a city. It's more like a few roads in the mountains that happen to have a post-office, some churches, and a couple of fast food restaurants. Oh, and a laundromat. That is pretty much what makes the town. haha. It was cool though. A nice change of pace. No traffic. No noise. Pitch black sky at night with thousands of stars. And really country people who say "youins" way too much. They even have different verbages and tenses of "youins." Like, "yunsins," "youinses," and "yunseses." Yes, it's quite entertaining, I know. But the people were fantastic, and I really enjoyed my time up there.
Greenville is nice though, because I have friends here. It feels like it's been awhile since I've lived anywhere with a lot of my close friends nearby, so that's been REALLY nice to get to hangout with different people, and just have fun and relax in a social environment.

On a side note, and to close this one out...I would just like to say that I beat Brantly and Lindsay in Scrabble tonight....and had all vowels for more than 50% of the game. But, I overcame the odds and rose to the occassion. AAAAAAAAAND I'm gonna call myself out and say that I honestly spelled this word during the game, and then laughed my head off: "toeing." Yes, "toeing." Which is totally supposed to be spelled "towing" but during the heat of the moment, you aren't thinking logically...you just want the points, dangit. haha. It was quite amazing. Then I proceeded to say later during the game (as we were expecting Marissa to show up), "I think she just "droved" up." WOW. what is wrong with me? haha. Maybe I spent too much time in Spruce Pine. hmmmmmm......
haha.

Until the next time......
PEACE.
