I Became Preoccupied With Another Person
I abandoned this website a little over a year ago, just before I moved to Chicago for the second time. My last entry was just after returning from vacation to California with Amy. I had remodeled the site to reflect a bit of the optimism and excitement I was feeling but never stuck with it. I think I was very preoccupied with a boy who was taking up all of my free time...
The remodeled site had a link back to this site, where I have stored all of my poetry, short stories, and a few pictures...forever uploaded, suspended in time almost. I know it is never visited, but it stays put all the same. The last entry posted on this old version of my site reflected upon change. I used an old journal entry to make my point, which referenced a moment in college where I returned an engagement ring to Tom.
I cannot help but note the irony. Here I am, writing a new entry after such a long hiatus, and I am married. I am married to the most wonderful husband in the world (I know every wife thinks that about their husband--but he IS!) and we have our own little home in Portland, Oregon, somewhere I never dreamt I would have the courage to move to and make a reality. We have a little apartment and our cat, Hobbes, and I'm back in school again. Life seems full circle.
I hope that I can take advantage of everything changing around me and the unknowns I have entered into by getting married, moving, starting a new job, and going back to a new school. I want to take advantage of it by really feeling the growth as it comes and sharing with (any possible) readers stories of my journey along the way. I have always enjoyed doing that.
With that said, I will begin to formulate the best way for me to do that, and keep my imaginary readers posted on the progress. I hope to see you at a new site, fresh with new bells and whistles, bringing forth the story of my life...A life I am so proud of and totally still trying to figure out!
