On the Move

Moving is never easy. You have to first pack everything, which seems to take forever, and you tend to find more and more stuff that you didn't even know you had. Then once the packing is over, you have to load it all up, ask for help, and move it to the new location. Whether it is to another city or just across town, the whole process can be very frustrating. I would know, I have done it way too many times. I am a pro when it comes to moving. I have been out of high school since 2005 and including same town moves, I have moved 14 times. That is crazy talk! I might as well never unpack so it makes it easier the next go round. At the beginning of the month, I made the move back to my hometown. I always said I would never come back here. Never say never right?!? I came back to pursue my RN since I am only an LVN and this program is the fastest and cheapest one I know. Due to some unnecessary drama with my dad and his wife, I ended up moving in with my sister. I think this will be the best situation in the long run but I know it will not be easy. I am going to love seeing the kids all of the time but I can't let that ruin the focus I need to have on my studies. I also had to leave behind a job that I loved and friends that I was just starting to get close to. This was the hardest part of leaving. I started a new job that is so different from the one I had before. I tend to find myself bored out of my mind and wondering if this was the right job for me. I know finding an LVN job here in this town isn't easy and this is the better choice than some of the others but I am not used to the slow pace of the job and it is driving me crazy!!! I need to get away for a while and luckily I am about to do just that. In 11 days I am leaving this small town for Houston so that the next morning I can get up early and fly to NYC!!! One of my favorite places in the world!! I could stay there and never leave! I love the big city life! I have this feeling that it is going to be a life changing trip but I will have to wait and see. I am trying not to get my hopes up! I love my life, even though its crazy and hectic, and God seems to send me here there and everywhere. I love the chaos I suppose. I know that I wont be leaving this small town for at least 9-10 months but I can't wait to see what this year brings and where next summer takes me.
