I am officially a stunner...

I am officially a stunner... In preparation for the big move, my father found one more item that was absolutely necessary. A stun gun! He has already tried to bribe my brother to let us practice. Needless to say, Jeremy was not willing to be a guinea pig. Beware all estranged animals that decide to wonder this way. lol 

I am getting very excited. Less than a week from today I will be out of Louisiana. Nerves are slowly starting to disappear and excitement is increasing. Thank God. I was beginning to think I was losing my mind. I am so looking forward to spending my last few days with my friends and family. I really am terrible at goodbyes, which is why I am not saying any! Only "see you later," from this girl! 

Stay tuned.

And so it begins...

And so it begins... My journey. Just a small town girl trying to discover the rest of the world. And, here I go from Denham Springs, Louisiana to Los Angeles, California.

About 2 years ago I went to L.A. with my mom and absolutely fell in love with the vibrant culture L.A. has to offer! It was so extremely beautiful on the West Coast. One week in the exciting rush of the big city and I was sold. I remember getting on the plane and looking over to her and saying, "Mom, I will be back here. I don't know how and I don't know when, but I will be back." Well, I did it. I made it happen. In only one short week I will be moving to one of the largest, most fast past cities in the world. 

I have had an entire year to mentally/emotionally prepare for such a large leap in my life, but nothing could prepare me for the emotions that I have developed. Excitement. Fear. Anxiety. Happiness. Sadness. Sense of accomplishment. I've known for a while that I was moving, but about 4 days ago it hit me like a ton of bricks. I am moving 1800 miles away. 1800 miles away from my family. 1800 miles away from my friends. 1800 miles away from a life I had made for myself. Sigh. What is a mile any way? 

I invite you to join me on this adventure. I have no idea what lies ahead, but I am so excited to find out. It is a very surreal feeling to have a dream and then to actually make it come true. This is just the first stepping stone. One year. 365 days. 52 weeks. Here goes nothing...
