LoLo and I decided that we would not keep trying to pick up where we left you all because it would take us to long to catch up! We want to pick up from now, pick up from where our journey as friends will now be in two different states.
This quote is so very true and starting yesterday distance for our friendship is now reality! Saying goodbye to a bestfriend is one of the hardest things to do!! Both LoLo and I feel emotions in our stomachs and both of us felt like our lunch was about to be seen again when we said goodbye. One thing that we hold on to is that even though we are not in the same state anymore our friendship will still grow and this blog is not only for you (the reader) but it is another way that we can keep up with each other! I am very excited that you get to come along in the new journey, and we are more then happy to have the company :)
This last weekend I moved to Virgina for a huge job opportunity! It is a job with the same company that my brother works for in Boston. Bright Horizons is the company's name and it is a center that creates a safe environment for kids to learn and grow in! The ages they work with are 0-5 year olds, but I am hoping to work specifically with the infants! I have an interview this Tuesday morning and can't wait to see if I get the job! This is a job I have been hoping and praying to get since December and it has been anything but smooth sailing. The Lord has been teaching me so much during the ups, but I have truly been tested when it did not workout how I thought it would.
-God's timing is always perfect timing...never to late or to early-
Also for those of you that don't follow me on Facebook or Instagram I also started dating April 11th!
Joseph lives here is Virginia and I can't wait to see our relationship grow without having to be long distant! He is currently in his senior year of college and is studying busyness administration! He use to do landscaping and I know I am partial, but he does a great job! He is a great guy and I can't wait to get to start this new part of our relationship!!!!!!
Emotionally this past month has been very challenging, to say this move was easy in anyway I would be lying!! I got some packing done early on so that I could just spend time with people and I am so glad I did that. I was able to have two "see you later" parties and they both were a ton of fun! Hard in some ways, but just to great create a memory with the people that impacted my time in Georgia was very important to me! I also got to spend a day hanging out with the Cartey family. I worked with Mrs Cartey in the cafeteria at Prince Avenue and KK (one of the six kids) played on my soccer team!
This family was very hard to leave along with many other ones. We always had so much fun together laughing and being a little too crazy for the public at times!:D
The families that I babysat on Sunday nights also became a part of me and I loved these kids to pieces!
The three kids and I had so many great memories on Sundays and let's just say some are never going to be forgotten.
These are LoLo's kids that she nannies and babysits (this was from a photo shoot her Dad did with the boys)! I got the privilege to go into work with LoLo often over the summer and help her with the two boys! L and I got to play games from sorry (the board game) to transformers and rescue bots! I also got time to hold and play with Little E who is growing up so very fast! I did not realize how close I had gotten to this family over the summer until it was time to say goodbye and tears came shortly after!
After all the goodbyes it was time for the road trip from Georgia to Virginia on Friday. I packed my car up on Thursday so I could spend time with LoLo's family that night and we could just leave from the farm the next morning.
The coolest thing about the road trip is that LoLo got to come with me and then she flew back Sunday afternoon. The road trip was very adventurous and long, but it made a memory and that is what matters :) The time she was here even though it was short meant more to both of us then we thought it would! She got to see where I am living and got to meet some of the people that I will be spending time with! She was a huge help with making my apartment feel like my space and it made the transition so much easier. We are both very thankful that she got to take work off and was able to come with me! (LoLo will be posting the pictures from the road trip, she has them because I was driving)
This is the last picture that we took together before she left and it will forever hold the memories from this past weekend!
The day that LoLo left I needed to go on a walk so I drove to the Parkway and had a nice quiet walk! Just needed some fresh air, exercise, and a time to journal! It was a beautiful day and I can't wait to go back another day, I have a feeling this will be me new favorite place to go!
Can't wait to start this new adventure and I am excited to get back on track with blogging more often. Thanks for all your support during this time of change. I know that there will be moments and blogs that are hard to write because it is not easy, but I want you all to not just read about the good times but also the hard ones. Ready to come along with me on my journey....well then lets get started!!!!
With a pinch of love,
Lil'Chef
A Song I have been holding on to!
"You know my heart is heavy
And the hurt is deep
But when I feel like giving up
You're reminding me
That we all fall down sometimes
But when I hit the ground
You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I'm letting go
You lift me up when I can't see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I'm letting go"
