I know, I know – these types of posts usually come on New Year’s Eve or Day, but I didn’t make any resolutions this year and it’s creeping up on July 1st – one of the biggest milestones I ever had, which got me to thinking while going to the bathroom this morning (don’t ask).
July 1st, I move to Florida. Left a lot of crap being in Albany, NY – got a whole bunch of new crap. Moved for a boyfriend (ironic, given how independent I am and how dependent that looks to the rest of the world), but part of me was running, escaping from a lot of things. Had I never met Mirko, I never would have moved, but knowing he was in Florida and I most definitively was not. JCPenney, College of Saint Rose…Albany, NY. I was tired.
We had our trials, our tribulations. There were times that I thought I was done. That this was too hard, too much or other sentiments in that same vein. But…we survived.
Turns out, living in Florida sucks more than visiting (we want to move North eventually – CT or somewhere along those lines) – but we’re staying so at least I can finish my education inexpensively, and hopefully he can too (although it’s more of a start for him). Changed where I want to go – paralegal studies instead of speech language pathology. I still have an interest in SLP, but paralegal studies is another interest and it allows me to continue to work. And saves me money.
On January 5th, 2007 (my parent’s wedding anniversary), we got married. I was 20 (still am), and he was 22 (almost 23 now). So we’re still newlyweds. Anyway, point being – that was a big step, but not the biggest. People made a big deal about getting married (it was a small wedding, just my family and his) but it was smaller than moving.
But we’re still alive. We survived.
This is supposed to be my knitting blog, and I’m sure it will be – go figure how into knitting I get when I move to FL (where I don’t need wool socks but I get addicted to them anyway). But I’m more than that, so it’ll be more than that.
