Becoming a Big Girl

As Silvia Path once said, almost as if she was speaking directly to me, "[I'm] doing all the little tricky things that it takes to grow up, step by step, into an anxious and unsettling world."

In the past three weeks I have (1) became a wife (2) took my first vacation without my parents (3) moved out of the state of Oregon and into the state of Washington. And if all that isn't enough changes, I am now officially living with Dan, and away from all other people (and animals) that I know. Yes, that's right, I said animals. I miss my furry friends at home. Let's just say that my puppy fever is in full force right now.

All of these changes have caused my emotions to go a bit haywire. I find myself feeing overjoyed, then two minutes later, sad and lonely. But, at the end of the day, all I need to do is roll over and look at the beautiful man laying next to me, and my worries seem to fade away (at least for a while, hehe). Being such a family-oriented person makes this transition pretty difficult for me... but I guess becoming a big girl isn't always the easiest :)

So...until next time! Wish me luck ;) And if you know my family personally, stop by and send them my love. I know that this isn't easy for them, either. But I forsee this bringing us closer together than ever.
