New Beginnings

I have recently had some friends start blogs and say "goodbye" to Facebook, I thoroughly enjoy reading blogs because you really get to keep up with someone, rather than read a FB post. So I will join the world of blogging, however boring my life may be, and eventually say "goodbye" to FB :)


Last night I had to say goodbye to one of my best friends, while some of you may think this is silly to blog about...its never easy saying goodbye, even if you're 26 years old! I realized that she was my last standing best friend still living in Greenville, everyone else moved shortly after graduating college. But, she isn't moving to another city within North Carolina....she is moving far far away...to California! So it sparked this blog title...new beginnings.

We both stuck around this city to join the teaching world, we both became third grade teachers, and we both leaned on one another to share our "adventures." I think we both realized that we needed a change, our hearts were not dead set on living here, in Greenville, for the rest of our lives. Our hearts weren't in teaching anymore; we needed a new beginning.

A new beginning always means a new adventure....and an adventure this year has been for me. I got married ( oh yeahhhh), Brandon ( my husband) will begin a new job in two weeks, and I quit teaching to go to graduate school full time.

My maid of honor, my best friend, is traveling across the country to live with her brother and find a job in California (Berkley area). NOW THAT'S AN ADVENTURE! I'm excited, sad...sad... did I say sad? It's the end of our Panera dates, beach dates, game nights, our singing along to bands of the 90's,  and endless talks about our jobs. Now, we will be left with Skype, and I will get to listen to all of the wonderful and adventurous things she is doing. I know it's the best thing for her, but I sure am going to miss her! As we parted ways last night, teary eyed,
she said, "keep me informed about any baby news!" Silly girl...there won't be any babies anytime soon :)


I wish her the best of luck and hope to visit soon, goodbyes stink, but I hope that this year is filled with adventures for her, and new friends for Brandon and I!

Before my husband, there were my best friends....reminds me of a song I learned in Girl Scouts ( haha, yes, I remember it)  "Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold. A circle is round, it has no ends, that's how long I want to be your friend."
