A Clean Slate

Hello!

There are so many new and exciting things to report! Before I begin to share what is new with me and my upcoming adventure, I want to close out a few things. When I started this blog, I really wasn't sure where to begin or what I wanted to write. I focused mainly on the things that were weighing heavy on my mind, which has been mostly my personal relationships that I have had and the pains of losing what I thought was true love and all things that come with that. It has been an emotionally and physically draining last few months for me. I just wanted to say that for what it's worth, I really am grateful this happened to me now. I have grown tremendously from this experience, and while I am not perfect or say the right things all the time, I do accept responsibility for the role that I played in any tensions between me and some of the people I have talked about here. I am closing this chapter out. I am not going to dwell on my past relationships any longer. I learned that nothing that I do or say can change anything that happened. Some people are always looking for the next big thing and can not be truly happy with what they have and are not willing to put in the ground work needed to make things work. So they run, just like their role models did for them growing up. I was raised to stick it out and push through the hard times, to dig deep when things get tough. I know now that this happened to me for many reasons, but I think most importantly, to show me the type of person who I don't want to be with. I have seen people and their true colors and now I can better understand who is a true friend or who is just fake. Aside from those closing comments on that matter, I am wiping the slate clean from this moment on.

A fresh start is always appealing to the ear, but what exactly does that mean? I can't answer that question for you, but for me it means many changes. I have been very busy! An opportunity presented itself to me a few weeks ago that was honestly perfect timing for me. My family needs my help. So, in just a week from tomorrow, I will be on a plane headed to Orlando, FL. Once I arrive, I will meet up with my beautiful sister Jaime and my awesome brother in law Zach. I will be helping them around the house and with their 2 dogs, then eventually helping them move cross country to (hopefully) Tuscon, AZ. Once settled there, I will be flying back to Oregon, picking up Yogi and my car, then driving back down to Arizona. It will definitely be an adventure for me to be able to go to places I have never been before and I am so excited for all the new people I am about to meet! Then what? Well, I have been thinking about going back to school for a long time, So once I get to where I am going, I will be looking around at a few schools and hopefully start in the fall term of next year. Anyways, that is all for now. I have a ton of packing and stuff to do. I will find some time to write more about this adventure and more soon!
