But not long enough, flew by in an instant. 

Friday; off to Michigan we go. Friends, family, food and presents, we will make time for Ypsi.

I’m sad already…

My emotions are still up and down. They have been up for about a month now. I guess the lows are getting a little less low, if that makes since. It might have something to do with having friends now, and a new job. 

I would always ask Bryan to make friends at work, and he would say, “None of them are our age.” or, “I don’t have anything in common with anyone.” Then one day (a little over a month ago) we went to dinner in downtown Aiken. Some work friends of his were out to dinner and invited us to sit with them. I had met Matt and Leah once before at a Superbowl party, but had never really talked. I found out that night that Leah and I have a lot in common, and are the same age! So I asked for her phone number. Haha, it’s like we’re dating or something? But when you literally have zero friends, meeting someone new is kind of as exciting as falling in love. 

Anyway, Leah has been great. And that group of friend was actually who we spent Bryan’s birthday with (and Amy and Dennis) and who we’re going to go to the beach with this weekend. It’s kind of funny; all of the people that I like the most in South Carolina, are from Michigan. Probably just because we relate, being from Michigan, and missing Michigan. 

So that’s that. Little bit at a time I guess. 

Still in the south. Still an emotional roller coaster.

I like my house, I like my job. I like not being cold, but I’m jealous of my Michigander being able to wear boots. I miss my mom and dad, and Jamie. I miss my friends.

I’ve been playing volleyball with Shane, that’s been nice for my fat ass. Feels good to do physical activities. :)

I’m getting the mitten tattooed on my side when Ryan and Katie come down, should be fun. It might be cliché up there, but no one has it down here.

Miss ya’lls.
