My Corner of the Internet

I have been doing a lot of "soul searching" here lately. I'm not sure if it's the time of year, my meds, the people I've been around (or not around), or what... but lately, I'm feeling very stuck without a real place to turn to and vent. In essence, I'm having a hard time moving on, but I'm not really sure from what... Life has changed a lot since I last wrote here, but this has always been a safe place for me. My corner of the internet. So here we are again. Last you heard, school (and my time in Cameron) was ending. Let's start there.

Over the summer, I was lucky enough to take a couple different trips - one to Chicago and one to Washington D.C. I was able to explore Navy Pier, catch up with an old friend, and shop while in Chicago. Washington D.C. offered me the historical factor that my soul needs to survive. I toured the White House along with a number of other museums.

   

July brought the end of a beautiful life. I'm not sure there are words to adequately express my feelings in regard to my grandmother passing away. She was a bright light in a dark world, a shamelessly honest person in a sea of untrue, an advocate, a lady, a beer drinker, a lover of life... my gramma.

  

Fall brought the welcoming of year 28 of my life, a new job at a new school, and a new football season with all of my friends. I have been lucky to have made new friends, while constantly being reminded that my old ones are there just as strong.

  

On October 1st, one of my very best and sweetest friends got married. She was beautiful and I am so very very thankful that she found someone who completes her heart and life.

  

As we move further into fall, there are more weddings, more school functions, and holidays coming at us full force. I'm hoping to find my "blogging spark" again. Thanks for stopping by after all this time. Maybe we'll see you soon...
