A year ago

A year ago today I moved back to Tennessee from Texas. I left my best friend, left the place I'd called home for 2 years. I'd spent most of my life afraid of 'growing' up. It took moving 14 hours away from everyone to finally realize I could be independent.

I'll never regret moving to Texas in 2009, in a lot of ways it was the best decision I made. It made Brenna and I closer, we had so many things happen but we fought through them and came out on top. I don't regret moving back either although the decision was not an easy one and I went back and forth for a while because I knew it would change things for everyone. Not only was I leaving Brenna, I'd be moving back in with my mom who'd been on her own for 2 years and was used to it. Bringing all the animals with me was another hard decision but in the end we couldn't separate the cats and our dog, Kallie, ended up with me because we felt it was the best thing.

The trip back was very interesting, I had my car packed to the limit plus 3 cats and a dog and my mom and I. We broke the trip into 2 days and I'm glad we did. My grandparents drove a van with all my furniture. Boy was it a memorable 2 days, LOL

The last year has been filled with all kinds of emotions. Not long after moving back and getting settled in I got in touch with a friend I've known for over 20 years but hadn't seen in forever.

 So, not long after I got back into town I had to find a home for the stray Brenna and I had found... that didn't go so well, she ran up into a truck motor and I don't know what happened to her. I often think of her. Last December Murphy, who was little over 1, passed away for unknown reasons leaving my cat Doodle-bug alone. My dog Kallie developed cataracts... not cool. My car motor had to be replaced and I was without a car from Nov. 15 to Jan. 17. That was not fun.... Thought I was going to move in with my boyfriend, things changed. Story of my life....

wonder what the next year has in store for me.... hold on and enjoy the ride :)
