Oh the changes....

I am not a person that accepts change very easily.  It's always been difficult for me.  H is the same way.  But we have had A LOT of changes in our little family since January.  The first big change is that I moved in with Mom at the end of January.  I was not particularly happy about moving in with my mother at the age of 43.  I took great pride in the fact that I was the only one of her 3 kids that had NOT moved back home.  But I had a choice between moving in with Mom and being homeless because I couldn't afford to pay the freakin expensive as hell rent anymore so I packed up the cats and we moved to Fuquay.  I also always swore that I would NEVER live in Fuquay.  I had lived in Cary or Morrisville my entire adult life.  We have all slowly adapted to living with Mom.  Georgie stalks around downstairs like he owns the joint.  He also enjoys intimidating Mom's little dog, Ollie.  Saturn is Saturn.  She runs.  And runs some more.  And whines to be fed.  Sniper, the resident old man-cat, just sort of watches everything from the hallway upstairs with benign amusement. 

I also finally went back to school.  I started again in April to finish my Certified Medical Assistant.  Projected graduation is February 2019.   

The other HUGE change is that I met the love of my life.  We are getting married on September 1.  Just 16 more days!  When I said that I would never move to Fuquay, I didn't expect to meet the man of my dreams, who happens to also live in Fuquay.  Being totally and completely in love helped me see that maybe Fuquay isn't so bad.  My amazing future husband and I were friends for well over a year before he finally asked me out on a date.  Our first date was April 19.  He proposed on May 21.  I am a firm believer of "when you know, you know.  Why wait any longer than necessary?"

I am hoping that all of these changes will not make my anxiety flare up and take hold again.  I have taken great pride in the fact that I have not had to be on any sort of antidepressant or anti-anxiety since February.  For the first time in my adult life, I don't feel like I need either one.  For now, I'm just kinda going with the flow and, honestly, I'm enjoying the ride. 

For now, anyway..........
