All My Neighbors are Crazy

I am certain all my neighbors are crazy. That's a pretty bold statement, but it's true and you'll see why.

This is the beautiful view all of us get to enjoy on a daily basis. I mean, look how the clouds reflect on the water! It's just gorgeous. Most nights I eat dinner on my deck and come back later to watch the sunset. The view is just outstanding. The birds are always chirping and it's just downright lovely out here. However, none of my neighbors come outside to enjoy the view. No one eats outside, or reads a book on their deck. They may briefly shake a rug out or grill but none of them just sit outside. Okay weirdos.

I'd like to know what they're all doing. Are they hermits?  Are they allergic to the sun? Are their lives just too busy to find time to enjoy the beauty of it all? Or do they just enjoy TV that much they must stay inside? (Newsflash, bring your laptop outside and watch Netflix. I do it all the time and find no shame it.) But at the end of the day I am just certain they're all crazy, because only crazy people wouldn't sit outside and enjoy this. 

Sometimes Your Life Just Changes A LOT

Well my loyal blog followers, as you probably noticed, it's been 2 months since I have written on here. In those two months lots has happened and unfortunately, I just didn't write about it because somedays I just let me emotions get the best of me. I will cover each item below in a separate post over the next week or so, but to sum up the main points….

1. I quit my job. After countless months of being belittled, micromanaged and not a valued member of the team, I decided it was time to take my talents elsewhere. It was a long, thought out process but I came to the realization that life is to short to do something that constantly makes you unhappy. Unemployment sure is sweet though! I like having some free time to soak up the sun and read a book.
2. I was accepted into grad school and got a grad assistant position to pay for it. Praise God for this! A wonderful family I know well where I live is allowing me to live with them rent free while I'm at school. This is another HUGE blessing, and I cannot be more thankful for it. 
3. Making friends is still incredibly hard in the adult world. Netflix has become one of my good friends and boy, have I watched a lot of good movies and TV shows on there, but really, I'd just like some friends.
4. Moving sucks. It just plain sucks, especially in having to find storage for all my furniture. It sucks even more because I none of my burly male friends live close by to help carry things. Did I mention it sucks? Also, why do I have so much stuff? It's not necessary. 
5. Weddings are such a beautiful thing, full of love and an everlasting commitment to God. I have been blessed to attend a few this summer, but boy oh boy, does my heart ache for the day that I can be married to a wonderful Christ loving man. Being single is not something I love. My heart also aches knowing my mom will not be there to celebrate that day with me, and gosh, does that just hurt so bad. 

That is all for now. I hope you'll check back for all my updates on my life. Sorry I've been MIA. I will get better at this.
