Update on Life

I was watching CMT this morning. Every morning they are showing people's picks of videos, which are typically what is "hot" right now. Some random older videos will be shown, but usually it is the newer songs. As most know, I am a huge music person - so I enjoy laying in bed listening and watching (if I decide to actually open my eyes) to these videos. The other day, I kept CMT on as I was preparing for work and a song came on that I have heard many times, but it wasn't until this one morning that I actually heard the lyrics. This song is called I'll Wait for You by Joe Nichols. This video came on this morning, and I was able to watch part of it. It is just a wonderfully heart felt song. It then reminded me of another one of Joe Nichols songs: The Impossible. I remember the first time I heard this song, like it was yesterday. Country music is known for its stories, and Joe Nichols has this ability to share heart felt stories in ways that you will never forget them. Because of this, he is one of my favorite artists.

On another note, yesterday I had an interview to be a friend/mentor to a foster child. It was interesting. It was at my place and this young woman was seeing if my place and my car are suitable for children. She asked if I wanted a boy or a girl - or even a certain age range. My answer - I don't care. I am looking to befriend who ever would like it. Half of me would really like a boy - but then I would love a girl too. On the 15th I have a 4 hour session I have to attend - kinda like orientation. Oh and I get to go to the police station and get my fingerprints taken. Now that will be fun!!!!! (Again, the small things in life that make me happy.)

Well I am off to do work. OR NOT!!!

Arms up

Today, well tonight, I realized how I have felt this weekend. I have lived in Arizona now for a month and a half. Leaving the DC area, I knew, was the right thing for me. However, moving farther away from home was/is hard, and I knew it would be. Family mainly in upstate NY, parents in the DC area and good friends in North Carolina...yea the move was going to be tough. To this day, I will still tell you that it was the right decision. I am getting back to the Kelly I know and want to be.

I went to a Church service tonight that had a great message, and amazing music - even my brother would have liked it - that is how good it was. But I left and cried. I was sitting there by myself while everyone was talking to their friends. I am beginning to really dislike doing things by myself. Since I only lived in DC for three years, I didn't know a lot of people. But I had my friends. It takes time, and I know I will make some friends...but today, this weekend, I put my arms up. Please don't post that I will eventually meet people, I know I will meet people. Just tonight, leaving Church I was just tired of trying to be strong and I broke down. But I will get there and continue to be strong.

I read a post before Church about music. And you all know I can't live without music, so this post was fitting. It was about relating main points in your life to a particular song. My move to Arizona fits perfectly with "I'm Moving On" by Rascal Flatts. As tough as it might be, I am gaining who I am back, slowly. Soon I will be as happy as I was (friend wise) in Rochester. I will meet a Sean, a Willy, a Christine, a Kacey, a Matty...you know. (Notice how I didn't say Kyle.) Once I have that, Arizona will be one great place. Just please don't let me make anymore friends that leave me at a bar. And no, the one friend I had moving out here hasn't called to apologize and no I have not contacted him. Although, half of me would like to write and tell him how much he hurt me by leaving me somewhere I had never been before. But hey, it can only make me stronger...right?

Alright, I am off to make some dinner. Pork wrapped in BACON!!! Since my co-worker calls me pudgy, I thought I would try to gain some weight so that would actually hold true! :) Have a wonderful week all.

Well the weekend is over, time for a new week. As for what this week will bring, we will have to wait and see. I hope everyone in Rochester had a great snowy weekend!
