Wow. It's been a really long time since I've posted here, huh?
Life just has a tendency to get away from you when you least expect it. The days last forrrrrrrrrrever yet the months just speed by!
(On another note, how is it already the middle of August????)
Anyway this post might be lacking in Awkwards cause right now things are pretty good. Maybe next week (ha, if I remember to write then) I'll have some stuff to say. (We can try though)
Awkward
* Realizing I probably shouldn't be listening to Chopin's Nocturne for Piano in B Flat Minor Op. 9 No. 1 at 11:24 at night because I am feeling really sleepy...and I'm only 4 minutes into the song. (Its beautiful but now I'm tired - which is why I then skipped Op. 9 No. 2!)
* Tripping over your own feet. On carpet. When less than 2 steps ago you were walking just fine. D'oy.
* Realizing your pant leg (really. only one leg) is super long because the hem is completely undone. Like, I didn't know my pants had an extra 3 inches! Thankfully, staples to the rescue! (What, like you've never done that before? - side note: when you do that, if you can find a sharpie in the color of your outfit that you just stapled together [better if it's black] then you can color the staple and it'll conceal it better than just you sitting there with a giant piece of silver staring you at the face)
* Trying to park by a curb - that's curved. Trust me, you will look like an idiot because you WILL keep adjusting the tires.
Awesome
Now here's where the good stuff starts. *deep breath*
* I officially got a new job in Houston AND
* I moved down to Houston. LAST WEEKEND.
It's still like, super surreal. I've only been talking about doing this for years and years and years. And then it all happened in like, 2 months. Amazing how God's plan just comes together with ease.
* Having two roommates that are in the same "life stage" as me (and who can enjoy both company and down time - okay some wine helps too) is really a blessing. Yes it's weird to share a bathroom again, but really, less than 1/16th of my life is spent in the bathroom - it's not a big deal - but having a place to just come home, chill if I want or don't, is a nice thing to have.
ALTHOUGH I'M NOT PLEASED ABOUT THE COCKROACH THAT'S CURRENTLY OCCUPYING MY ROOM
*AHEM*
* My job is insane (in the sense that it's super busy) but it's really nice to be with more people. Yes it's still the same type of work in a law firm but it's just BIGGER. There are actually people to see and talk to (and the lady sitting on the other side of the filing cabinet is a hoot and a half) and it's just a great atmosphere. I am so glad I did this.
It just goes to show you that sometimes you just have to wait for the Lord's timing. Cause when it's time...*BOOM!* it just happens!
* I'm super close to EVERYTHING now. You want to do something late at night? SURE I can come cause I only live 15-20 minutes away! And there are 4 grocery stores like in a 5 block radius! And a 24Hour Fitness! TWO OF THEM (although yeah, sure, one is farther away than the other). It's just awesome and it's still not real to me. It probably won't be for months.
But I'm excited about the future now. I feel like I maybe really am a grownup. Or at least, getting better at pretending to be a grown-up...we'll see. :)
Well, that should be a good enough recap of the last couple weeks. We'll see what happens next!
Ciao!
