Alright..so I have now been in NYC for 4 days now. Alot has happened and alot has not happened. BUT I am going back to Mass tomorrow......yep takin the train back...

Fooled you all!! NOT to go back for good, I am loading up a UHAUL on Saturday and bringing all my stuff down. My friend Jenn and I got an apartment yesterday! It was crazy and exciting how it all happened. We just decided to walk around yesterday in her neighborhood in the Bronx and browse through apartments just to get a feel for what was out there and how much 2 bedrooms were. Well, we stumbled across this amazing 3 bedroom that is enourmous and the bottom part of a house. We even have a yard!!! Our upstairs neighbors are awesome and so is our landlord. AND we got the place for a steal!!! It is all newly renovated, it is great! We painted the bathroom tonite...our first fun apartment adventure!

I even have a huge walk in closet and for all of those that know me well...this is an important, important fact!

As for the job front, I am getting started at the Manhattan Home Depot tomorrow...hopefully. All of you that work there know how Home Depot HR is and it is just as crappy here. There store is absolutely amazing, I feel like I am working in bloomingdales or something, and it is right in the heart of Manhattan. I have about a 45 minute subway ride in the morning...but no biggie to me.

Jenn and I went to the Home Depot in Yonkers tonite, which was another option for me and it was HORRIBLE...gross, dirty, old...i think i would die if i had to work there.

As for legal work, I am working with the temp agencies and hopefully something will land on my plate in the next week or 2. That is what they are saying at least!

So everything is great!! Jenn and I wont have to live on top of each other in her studio very much longer...only one more day.

I do miss all of you up in Mass...and just looking around the store the past 2 times I have been in there, they dont seem the same...oh and the fact that I may be the only WHITE GIRL that works there!!! ALSO we have a DRESS CODE, slacks and black shoes. no more t-shirts and capris for me, or pink sneakers. Will you all tell Sean that there is NOT a lumber dept...not even a lumber cart in site...it is crazy. I will have to take pics for you all!!!!

LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!!!! and i will see some of you tomorrow nite when i roll back in town for a few minutes!

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON
Current mood: contemplative

I got this in an email from my Grandma today...I read it to Pam...it is perfect considering I am moving tomorrow...

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.!

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.


Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

TOMORROW

TOMORROW
Current mood: grateful

Well...the time has arrived! TOMORROW...I MOVE TO NYC! wow...time has flown by...CRAZINESS! My last blog was T -10 days...and now it is tomorrow.

My emotions are everywhere. I am excited and can't wait!! But i am sad...really sad. Wow, it is a lot harder to leave than what I ever thought it would be. Especially a few special people and you know who you are...

How do you say goodbye...i mean i know it is really not goodbye...but these people, we saw each other almost every day...at least 5 days a week...probably 7 days a week and now...bam...wont see them for at least a month or so...

I still have a lot to do in the morning...got to pack my clothes up that i am taking for this week (my bro is driving my stuff down next weekend). got to do some cleanin and stuff around the house...

wow this is crazy..the time has come...my life is always a good ride...i thank God for that everyday and for the wonderful people he brings into my life...
