| It's been 4 1/2 months since I have written. Luckily I wrote in some of my actual journals.
The wedding has come and gone. We have successfully moved to Memphis and married life is phenomenal. Chris is amazing. No other word for it. I love being with him.
however,
Memphis is...less than satisfying still. It has only been 3 months, I know, but I still feel so blah for some reason.
My life has always been so jam packed. Constantly on the go and that's the way I like it!
I finally found a job here, but it's so unchallenging. So uninspiring. It's my first job in retail and, just like I always knew in my heart, I dislike retail and am NOT cut out for a lifetime of working in it.
I want a job with meaning. Today I applied for a Campaign Coordinators position with the Leukemia society in Memphis as well as an Events Coordinator position with St. Judes. Now THAT'S something I want to be a part of.
Granted I'm making the best of my situation because I am tired of being a negative nancy. I get through my days at hobby lobby of thinking how many calories I am burning by walking around for 8 hours. I get through my days by dreaming up all of the crafts and projects I would like to create. I get through my days by decorating our house in my head with all of the beautiful decorations they have for Christmas.
I need a goal. I need a project. I need a show to do or a great book to read. I want to write a play that I've had on my mind for a while. I want to have something to do besides come home everyday and sit around the house.
I am so used to having the barn and the theatre to go to. We definitely don't have the money to have my horses here, but perhaps now that I am a bit more settled I can finally work up the courage to go audition for something. Auditioning in front of folks I know at home makes me nervous, but apparently stepping into an entirely new theatre community is even more nerve wracking for me....I feel way out of my league
Think it's time to make a To Do list of projects. A personal goal to drive myself at.
I miss Huntsville much more than I thought I would. I have always loved Huntsville, don't get me wrong, but I think we get so comfortable in a place we take it for granted sometimes.
Other than all that....Life is great! I love my talented husband and am so incredibly proud of him.

| I woke up at 6:00 this morning and couldn't sleep. Still can't. Don't know if there is too much on my mind or if I just got such a sound nights sleep I'm good to go (that's unheard of for me), but alas...here I sit.
Much to do. Much on the brain that needs to get done. Need to go for a run. Need to do a lot of things.
Just realized I don't have much of anything exciting to say, though, so....have a lovely Tuesday.

| Two huge stressors are successfully put to rest in my life as of today.
Yesterday we got everything moved out of the house and back to my parents will I reside for 2 months before Chris and I tie the knot and I have a permanent, awesome roommate for the rest of my life. It was quite a chore and everything is very disorganized, but it's complete.
Today my drama class put on their production of a modern Cinderella. It was very funny and wonderful. It has been a HUGE stress on me for the past few months, but all in all, it turned out so well and I am quite proud of them. I think I could get into this directing stuff :) It feels good!
Today is my last day of work at WCA. I am 2 forty minute classes away from being done. I am quite emotional today for many reasons.
I thought I'd be glad to see it go. However, I think I am finally finding my groove here. The students have really expressed their disgust for me not coming back not year and it finally occurred to me....I'm going to miss them.
The ups and downs have been severe and for a long time I wasn't sure I was really making an impact. Then one of my "problem" girls came to me after the play today very upset about some things going on in her life and we had a chat. She hasn't been the first and even if in the classroom they don't take anything away, I like to think that I have at least been there for several people this semester who were struggling. If nothing else I made a difference that way. I feel honored that they would choose me as a confidant and feel comfortable enough to come talk to me about things.
so what's next? Only God knows...for now, at least. For the next bit it means a LOT of wedding planning that is still left, Sweeney Todd rehearsals, trying to get everything organized before a very big move to Memphis and just enjoying my last summer in Huntsville for a while
Happy Friday y'all.
