Moving to a Small Town

Hello again! 

Long time, no blog. I know. I know.

I haven't done anything of interest to have anything of interest to say. Instead of write post that consist of what I ate today, gluten free corn dogs btw, I'll just not bother. I do want to talk about my recent experience. I just moved from a town of 20,000 to a town of 700. My town of 20,000 was said to be a small town.You would ALWAYS see someone you know at your trip to the local wal-mart. The county fair was a reunion for everyone to see people from high school. 

Now, my current town is the size of my high school. You will see the same people everywhere. There is no stop light. This is the type of town country songs are written about. I love every bit of it. 

I have never been able to walk safely in my hometown. The other day I walked to the gas station in town and back alone. Safely. It's common to see others do this as well. at 5'2 I am not intimidating in the slightest either. I also went to the local festival and everyone knew everyone. Not once did I see anyone meet a stranger. Even I was talked to like they had known me for years. It's a great feeling.I also love being so secluded, yet 10 to 15 minutes from all the necessities like a grocery store and entertainment. The town has one store, a dollar store, that can supply your immediate needs. There is actually much more to do near here than where I'm from. 

Where I'm from is the type of place teenagers hang out at the local wal-mart. Here there are actual things to go and do. I say this and I haven't left the house in a 6 days...socializing isn't exactly something I am good at. Meeting new people is hard as well because I am unemployed and don't know anyone. I am borrowing my fiances friends for now. 

Overall, If you have any doubts about moving to a small town, don't! While it takes getting use to. It seems worth it for the safety and community you are sure to gain in place of size.

Graduating and the Doctor

Hello all.

As you may or may not know, I am about to graduate from University. My post are sporadic because of testing and everything in life, but that time is coming to an end. One week from today I will be a graduate. I am extremely excited and nervous as I approach this part of life. 

I will be moving in 12 days as well to a new state. I've never been so far from home and while it is scary, I am ready to embrace this new adventure with my fiance. I normally don't share personal photos on this blog, but today is different as I am extremely proud of my Graduation cap. My roommates as well!

 

I chose "Allons-y!" because David Tennant as the 10th Doctor was my favorite. Allons-y means "let's go!" in French and I find that it is super appropriate for taking on my future! I will graduate with my BSN so I had to represent that as well! The 3d glasses are associated with David Tennant and while I really wanted to use converse, I could NOT find any stickers or anything that would work!! (curse you hobby lobby). My roommate chose "Geronimo!" as Matt Smith is her favorite. It basically means "here I go!" in the context he uses it. She of course had to use a bow-tie! We both attempted to use Tardis blue but I really loved the glitter letters and she liked the puffy ones. Overall, we are proud of them. 

Here's to whats to come!
