Letting Go.

This past month has been so strange for me. Part of me feels like I am graduating college all over again! Everyone is going their different ways.

We have all been there when friends start moving away. You never want to have them move, but it's something that happens. First friend to move-Jennifer. I have been friends with Jennifer for about 4 years now. She and I would go and work out together and chat non-stop. Best workout buddy in the history of workout buds! She and her husband (and sweet baby girl) are moving to Florida as her husband has taken a job in sunny F-L-A. Second friend to move-Kara. Kara and I were in many poli-sci classes together at MSU and we went out to eat out at least once a week in Springfield. She got a better job in STL and she is going to be closer to home.

While I will miss these girls like a fat kid misses chocolate cake I know that I am only a plane ride away from Jennifer and family, and just a 3.5 drive away from Kara. I have been very blessed in life so I am in no way feeling sorry for myself in this situation.

The next thing I have had to let go of is a boy who happens to be my best friend. I have been trying to decide when I should tell him that I liked him more than a friend but I could never get up enough courage to do so until Tuesday morning while I was at work. He and I were texting back and forth about when we he was planning to leave to go back work in the state where he just moved home from in May/June. So I decided just to tell him how I felt. So I sent the text that I will never know if he got because he has never responded back. I know it's super tacky to tell someone how you feel about them in a text, but that is the only way he communicates since he has been home. The moment I sent it I felt a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. It was one of the most liberating moments in my 26 years of life! I don't care if he likes me back or not, good if he does, good if he doesn't...but I now feel like I can move on with my life instead of putting it on hold for some form of attention from him.

I also let go of my hair! I have been growing my hair out for 5 years and it was all the way down my back when I cut it off last Friday night. 8 inches gone! I have super thick hair, so I feel like a brand new person with the new 'do!

Ok, enough from me. But I just wanted to share what has been going on in my boring neck of the woods.

Until next time-Suzannah
