Vroom!

Today I traded in my car in for something a little older,a little bigger and a little less fuel efficient. I needed something with more room, less miles and a little giddy up.

Say hello to my new ride.

August.

I feel like I've let this summer pass me by. I haven't played softball in over a month, nor have I been to any of Justin's games. I'm as pale as a ghost. My hair isn't it's normal bleach blonde, instead it's dirty dark blonde. I never went to the zoo. I didn't get to go to the park. My eyes look heavy from working too much and sleeping too little.

I feel like I'm in a funk. I find myself feeling so alone anymore. I rarely see my friends, Justin and I have been going through a rough time, and I just can't seem to caught a break. I'm sure I bring most of this on myself but there's just something I can't shake.

We finally got moved into our house and unpacked the boxes. Now I need to work on me. I've started painting my nails bright colors and bought some funky and fun jewelry. It's lifted my spirits but only slightly.

I want to feel vibrant. I want to get out of this routine. I need to figure out what's going on with me and start enjoying life again.

A home of my own.

I did it, I bought my very first home! Signing my life away wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I've been searching for a house for 3 years and to be honest, I never thought I would actually buy one. Everytime I found something I loved, something would come up. I lost my job. I relocated. It needed too much work. This time, my timing was right and God knew it was the house for me. This weekend will be full of cleaning, painting, and packing. Next weekend Justin and I will officially make the big move. I'm looking forward to starting our lives in our new little house.

Welcome Back, Britney

So I have been majorly neglecting my blog lately. There's just been so much going on. Let me give you all an update on my crazy life.

I just got back from Seattle. I spent a week out there with my family. It was the first time my mamaw has had all her kids together in 22 years. I met cousins and aunts for the first time. Washington is beautiful. The pine trees are tall and go for miles and miles. No matter where you go, there's a view of Mt. Ranier. Every morning we woke up and saw the mountain from our balcony. One day we actually went up to Mt. Ranier and threw snowballs at each other... in the middle of July, with a tank top and flip flops on! Downtown Seattle is beyond incredible. We went up in the Space Needle, watching fresh fish get tossed at Pike Place and ate on the Pugent Sound at a crab shack. If I ever had to start my life over, that's where I would want to be.

The closing for our house was scheduled for tomorrow. Well, it's been pushed back another week. It's been quite frustrating thus far. So hopefully we will be moving in the first week of August. All the paint is bought for the inside, Justin bought his first weedeater and leaf blower. It's just a waiting game now.

I'm interviewing for a new job Friday. It's a paycut but it's full time with benefits. I'll get go in and get off at the same time every day. What a change that will be! So fingers crossed that I get it.

I'm sure there's a ton more going on but my brain is just so fried right now. I promise to update more often!
