if it makes you happy...

Once again, it's been far too long. But I have an excellent excuse =].

These past few weeks have been absolutely crazy. I moved into my new home on July 31st. Ever since it's been all about settling in, making friends, getting started with my new job, and finishing up school business. So far, so good. I'm completely settled in at this point I would say, and school starts tomorrow, and I'm all set. My new job is so far amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better job. I have one particular patient I work with 3 days a week and I am already incredibly attached and I have so many ideas and plans for him. I can't wait to put them to work! My only problem so far is the friends category. Of course I knew that by moving here it would be a really slow start and an incredibly difficult process to make decent friends here. I already knew I was moving in with 2 and a half of the best friends I have in my life at this point anyways, so that made it a bit easier... but still. Living with a married couple and their beautiful baby got to me more than I thought. I realized how lonely I was, and have been for quite some time. And I realized with my current work situation and school situation it's going to be hard for me to make a lot of friends. I have met maybe one or two people here besides eden and andy so far. But I know it's only going to go up from here. I just know it! I also found a new church. I am in love with it it reminds me so so much of my home church. Almost identical actually it's quite scary. I'm hoping the more involved I become with the church the more people I will get to know and eventually become close to in the future.

Besides that I am extremely thankful and blessed to be here. I don't know where I would be if I were still back home, but I know I have a purpose here in Concord. I am falling in love with baby Noah more and more everyday, and I am so glad I get to help Andy and Eden out from time to time. It's the least I can do, after all they have done for me.

I have also realized who some of my true friends are and aren't back home. There are some people that begged me not to leave that haven't bothered to get in touch with me since weeks before I left. And so on... it's very sad, but I am glad to know now, I suppose. But I am also very grateful for the friends back home that haven't left my side. It gives me much more to look forward to when I come back, which is actually going to be in a few short weeks. And I can't wait. =]

I'm hoping to update this more often so my entries can be more based on more specific areas of my life. Like my old blogs used to be. But with school starting tomorrow and all of my classes being online I don't know how that's going to work, but I'll sure try!
