2 years...

It will be 2 years on Monday, June 8 since I left the land of 10, 000 lakes. 2 years. Some days it feels like 10 years other days it feels like 2 weeks since I made that long drive to the East Coast. Has it been worth it? Definitely. In the beginning it was starting an adventure with someone I truly loved. Now I realize it was the start of my life with the love of my life. Of course I miss all that I left behind. I have gained a great home, good friends, a beautiful pup, and a man who takes the good with the bad.

There have been some drawbacks to moving though. I can't just stop and see family on a whim. Or if I don't feel like cooking stopping at Mom and Dad's for dinner. I can't call up my friends for any impromptu girls nights. And I have gained about 30 lbs. I call it my CT weight.

But hopefully that will be gone! I am determined to lose it and today was Day 2 of the beginning of my healthier more active life. I'm not saying I won't have any drawbacks. And there will still be recipes posted on here. I just plan on being more active. Not Jeremy active though....how do you find time to sleep Boy?!

So what have I learned in 2 years? Don't be afraid to take a chance and do something you never thought you would. I was afraid to leave my comfort zone (family, friends, known surroundings). I took a chance and drove my care alone over 1, 000 miles. What did I find? I have a small group of friends that I wouldn't have found if I didn't move here. I've been able to tell family and friends "I love you" and if you know how I grew up, we never said those words.

So too all my family and friends near and far...I LOVE YOU! Now will someone please come and visit me out here?! LOL!
