Life as of now

Hi all!

Yes, I know it's been over a month since I last wrote. Shame on me. But I've noticed that as I go through transitions it's hard for me to find the time to right about them. Though, it's probably the time I need to write the most. Though it's hard to write when not a ton of positive and interesting things are going on, like a new job or an exciting love life.

I was talking to my one of my best friends, Maggie, the other day, and she told me that I should just be honest with how I feel--that it doesn't matter if everything is going peachy. So this is my attempt at describing my life, since my cross-country move.

Don't get me wrong--I'm so glad I was able to move back to Seattle.

• I love being able to go to my parents' house on Sunday evenings for dinner, or anytime I want to see them.
• I love being able to hang out with my sister and have FUN! 
• I love being able to see old friends from high school.
• I love living near my group of good friends out here. 
• I love being able to see water every day, whether it's Lake Washington or Lake Sammamish.
• I love the house I'm living in, and my awesome roommates. 
• I love the beauty of Washington State. It takes my breath away. The skies are so dramatic, it makes me want to take up painting!
• I love my old school Volvo.
• I love that I have several options for hiking, boating, biking, etc. 

Yet,

• I don't love the health problems I've been having that have completely drained my energy.
• I don't love the smell of the antibiotics I've been prescribed.
• I don't love not having a full-time job.
• I don't love not being able to see my DC friends. 

But I'm lucky that I've been able to have a temp job, and that I have a lot of people helping me look for work. It's nice knowing that I have a humongous support group here!

And really, even though life isn't terribly stable, life is pretty great for the time being.
