Official blog #1

Well, I guess this is the first one. I can't believe I'm actually creating this thing. I've basically cursed every other blog, like Twitter, and made fun of countless people for blogging when their lives are completely boring. But here it is.
Really I just want everyone, my family and friends, to be able to see what's going on without having to sift through all the Facebook junk.. not to mention my daddy refuses to get a Facebook. So this is kinda for you, Dad. haha.
The point of this is to keep everyone updated on my move from GA to TX, then stay updated on what I'm doing and how things are going once I'm there. I know I won't be able to talk to you all every day. This is my little way of keeping everyone in the loop, and hopefully you guys will leave comments or let me know that you stopped by. Or add to something. Ask questions. Whatev.

So this is what's going on so far:

June 30th - My last day of work.
July 4th - I'll be leaving Georgia (I know, it sucks, but maybe I'll see some fireworks while I'm on the road).
July 6th - I'll move into my apartment in El Paso.
The remainder of that week - I'll be swimming in our pool and decorating. Probably freaking out over the stuff I'll realize I don't have.
Then it's down to business with job hunting. I'm determined, so I know I'll find something.. at least something to tide me over until I find a job I really want.

I'll be living on the West side of El Paso. The area is really nice.. bordered by the Franklin Mountains. Here's a pic:




I was google mapping this place, looking at the street view and whatnot.. Maaaaybe had a tiny freak-out for a few minutes. It's just gonna be so different there. I'm afraid I'm gonna be a fish out of water for a bit.



It's going to be alright though. You can't get anywhere in life if you don't start walking (or driving 22 hours in this case). I've been waiting for a long time for life to get going, for things to start happening and feel like I'm going somewhere. Well, now I have somewhere to go. I need to put on my big girl panties and get going.

So yeah. I'll update as things start happening.

Here's a pic of Deanna and me last weekend. We had dinner, hung out for a while at Floyd's, then got down at Pub280. I love my sister :) I just hate that you can't see my fuschia wedges in this pic. RAhhh!!
