Life moves pretty fast....

Remember that life moves fast quote from Ferris Bueller?? Well, I guess you could say that quote applies to my life over the past year. All of you who keep tabs on my life (I know none of you do), but if there are some out there who do, I moved again almost EXACTLY to the date from when I moved back from Boston, pretty crazy huh?? Let me tell ya, this time was worth everything.

Last March 2012 when I was feeling down and like crap thinking my life wasn't worth living, I got myself back up, started hanging out with old GREAT friends and discovered that I am an amazing person and deserve the best. Summer was sweet. I was out on the Kankakee River every weekend, hanging out at Traxx in Grant Park with all my amazing Gansta's Paradise friends and loving life...never looked back at Boston the whole summer. Enjoyed trips to Chicago to see the cuz and had my sis around to keep me sane whenever I needed to vent about living with our folks. Then something I never ever ever thought would happen so quickly did. October rolled around and an old acquaintance started sending me messages on Facebook. I had no intention of even starting a relationship at this point, but he was pretty persistent on getting me to visit him down in Georgia. I know what you're thinking, "why would she do this again." Why put myself up for failure again when I know how this story ends. Long distance relationships just don't work, don't do it. I didn't make the decision right away, I discussed the situation with a bunch of people and most of them said "just go for it, what have you got to lose." Luckily everything worked out. He bought me a plane ticket and the moment I saw him (he actually parked and met me inside the airport instead of driving around and waiting) I knew that he was going to be my husband. It sounds corny, but I knew it, it was fate. After that trip, I visited again during Christmas to test out a long week and we decided I needed to moved down here. March rolled around, I loaded up my car and I moved again. In May, we made the commitment to marry each other at the courthouse in Woodbine, GA.

Four months later and we have an absolute amazing life together. We do so much, like go to baseball games, shows, the beach, putt-putt golfing, Downtown Disney, St. Augustine, just to name a few. We're happy as can be and can't wait to have a church wedding with all our friends and family around to see how much in LOVE we are!! Pretty soon he'll be gone on deployment, but I know when he gets back it'll be like he never left, I just love him soo damn much!!

I'll always have to keep Ferris's quote in the back of my mind because things have moved really fast the past 9 months. It's great, but we do need to enjoy the little things as much as we possibly can with the time we have together!!
