So, a lot is going through my head as I move from the city where I have spent most of my life. Sure I went to college in DC, and yes, I did not move to Atlanta until I was nearly 5, but I consider myself an Atlantan through and through, and even though I am moving to what is dubbed as the "greatest city in the world", I will always have a special place in my heart for Atlanta. All of my immediate family lives in Atlanta, and they will be truly missed. With my parents, 3 siblings, 3 siblings-in-laws (did I just make that word up??), and 3 amazing nieces, it is going to be hard to adjust not seeing everyone whenever I want. I have also been fortunate enough to make some of the most amazing friends anyone could ask for. I have so many friends from so many different backgrounds, it has really been an awesome ride. The one thing that all of my friends have in common is being ridiculously good looking, and having a rad friend like me! :) And with Facebook, AOL IM, Blackberry Messenger and Texting, I know I will always be in touch with everyone. Also, NYC is only a 2.5 hour flight down the East Coast, so I know I will be home often. Also, having a place in NYC will compel most of my friends to come and visit me just purely for an amazing place to stay - for free!I am leaving on Sunday and I really need to be getting everything wrapped up. Perhaps it is time to finally sell my Jeep? Or maybe do all my laundry and get all my stuff ready to be shipped? But why would I do that? Procrastination is fun and always makes life a little more hectic and exciting. So, friends and family, let me close now with, what else, a quote from a musical.
"I've heard it said
that people come into our lives for a reason
bringing something we must learn
and we are led
to those who help us most to grow
if we let them
and we help them in return.
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
but I know I'm who I am today
because I knew you ..."
.
That was from Wicked and is probably the best summation of words I could give to everyone now as I start a new chapter in my life ... enjoy and keep in touch!!!
