Can't Nobody Hold Me Down.

So I think the excitement of moving across the country has started to wear off. Maybe it was the 100+ degrees combined with humidity of last week, or maybe it's the realization that it is just me out here, with no one that's known me longer than 2 months for hundreds of miles. Whatever it is, this past week or so has been tough.

It's hard moving from a city where you know tons of people and have an amazing support group, socially, emotionally, professionally. To one where you are constantly having to prove yourself.

All I friggin want to do is grab dinner and drinks with someone who can sit there and say, "That's you, that's what you do" about whatever stupid idea I have in my head at the time.

That being said, I'm ready for the visitors. I have a ton coming in the next few months and I feel so fortunate to have friends that are willing to spend their time off visiting little ol' me! Everyone knows how valuable PTO is once when you have 8+ weddings to attend a year. :)

I also have rediscovered how amazing my friends and family are. Some friends have really stepped up and I am so lucky to have them in my life. You know who you are...

J has been amazing at putting up with my transitional pains - the highs and lows, the excitement and frustration. God, I love that kid and I'm lucky he puts up with me.

My family... I don't even know where to begin. All I can say is that I am truly blessed. We are a modern family but one with more love than I thought humanly possible. Thank you is all I can say, but it doesn't even begin to cover it.

Wow. This sounds like a friggin' acceptance speech.... Except for that whole winning an award part.

Okay, enough of that sh%*.

Today, after a trying day that called for a gym session to clear my head, this song popped into my head and I googled the video. Instant smile. Took me right back to high school and I found myself lip syncing and head bobbing down Broadway on bus 36. Good times...
