Its been over a year since I last talked with you all. I hope you are all doing well. So much has happened but there are two main big changes I want to tell you all about.
First of all..... I GOT ENGAGED!!!!! Last October!! I am very excited! Trey and I are getting married in January, in New Zealand. Its just going to be us and 3 friends. No family, no drama (hopefully). There was enough drama when I told my parents that I had gotten engaged. Many words were exchanged. Things were said that hurt more than a thousand knives, and can never be taken back. I know one day these wounds will heal, but the scars will still remain. I love my parents and understand why they take the stand they do, even though I don't agree with them. They have chosen not to support or attend a traditional wedding. This is one of the reasons we decided that we would get married over seas. We have decided to make an adventure out of it, and are going to make the most of it. We are getting married in January but we wont live together until June, because....
I am in Kansas and have been for the last 6 months! I took a nanny job in out here in January. The kids I nanny for are 10, just turned 12, and twin 3 weeks old girls. I has been a struggle to adjust to life out here. I live with them and so I cant help but feeling a loss of my independence. About once a month I get profoundly home sick and miss everyone so much. but most of the time I am content with my job. I really do enjoy my job, the kids are great. I have made some great friends out here. They are amazing support system, and help me when I am down. I spend most of my weekends at there houses. My time out here has not been what I expected but it is still good. I don't regret coming out here only wish i could have taken home out here with me.
Some other changes I will just tell you, My grand father and Uncle on my Dads side past away. My car is broken again. My parents just sold the house I grew up in. Trey took a job in upstate New York, and is graduating in Dec. After he graduates he will move to upstate New York to be a camp site director. After I finish out here I will move up with him.
