Hello again

So, I guess I forgot about my blog for a while......8 months isn't that bad is it?!?!?!?!

Life update---after alot of anger and rebellion, I am now living in GA and happy about it. Should I back up some? Ok, let's go back about 6 months, back then, Dad was offered a new job here in GA and the family was to come with him. I, however, being 22 years old, thought I didn't have to if I didn't want to. Afterall, I'm an adult and I had been living on my own for a little over 2 years now. Mom and Dad were not "taking care" of my anymore. Well, this is everything I thought, but boy did I have another thing coming. After a countless number of arguements and hateful words and thoughts (all on my end), I gave in and moved to GA without any kind of happiness about it. Of course I knew that GA was where I was supposed to be but I didn't know why nor did I want to admit that. I was angry and being quiet stubborn about the whole thing, and all this lasted about 3 more months after I got here. Let me tell you, it makes for very unhappy, unpleasant times to live with people you are choosing to hate and not caring how it makes them feel. So, how to solve that???? Well, I got over it. I finally had it out with them and decided to admit that I was supposed to be here for a reason, although that was unknown to all of us, and that I was going to try and make it work. What happened next.......I got a new job. I pretty good one too, on most days. Oh and then a month later I met Jeff!! <3

Jeff deserves a whole new paragraph!! He is pretty much amazing!!!! Mom tracked him down in the church parking lot one Sunday morning in April and MADE me go to his SS class. I was still apprehensive about GA at the time and really didn't think that meeting a fella would be a good idea....but boy was I WRONG!! Jeff is in the Army and is only here for another month and a half with doing his BULC(I think thats right?) 2 class. At the end of September, right before both our birthdays mind you, he leaves for Arizona where he does his Military Intelligence training for 3 months. My baby is sooooooo smart! Then come Jan. 26 its off to Germany. Yep, that's right, Germany. I know I know, that is a really really REALLY long way away....but it's ok. We have talked about this very long distance and we have a great solution to our problem.........marriage. Hahahahaha ok, that is not our final solution, but it is an option, and we both know this fact. However, I have applied for a passport finally and it should be here soon. I will be going to visit him and it will be wonderful! I can't wait. Plus, who says long distance relationships can't work?? I'll slap you in the face if you do........ We know it is will be hard but in a way it will be a great way to get to know each other better. And just think of all the photos I will get to take when I go to visit. He will only be about an hours away from Prauge(spelling?) and only a couple of hours from Venice..........OMG I can't even tell you how much I want to go there!

So, This has been my life for the most part for the last 8 months. Anger, rebellion, mind changing, liking, and falling in love. Pretty interesting roller coaster, if I do say so myself.

What have I learned???? Unfortunately, you should always listen to your parents, they are smart and they do know what they are talking about......DON'T tell mine I said that though.

What am I still learning........patience.......NOT a fun thing at all!!! It's hard and just not fun! I want it now, no matter what it is, Jeff, chocolate, a puppy, I want it now! But that's not the way it works!

So, until next time, which will hopefully not be 8 months from now,

Peace and Love
Diane
