So in October the person I've been closest to for the longest decided she wanted to leave me...boo. Oh wait, I guess they are suppose to do that once they grow up, if they are your children, which technically she is. I cannot explain the insane bond I share with this girl, yes I'm her mom so we have that but there is so much more to it. And let's be honest my husband and I were not best friends, yes we get/got along ok enough but it hadn't clicked. I discovered yesterday to my huge delight that he finally TRULY GOT ME, hey it only took him 17 years, in all honestly it's a huge accomplishment I was quite sure NO ONE would ever get me, don't get me wrong I've got friends that get a little here and there but NO ONE fully got/get's me. He does, finally. Holy Cow I'm so pumped about this, it makes me smile. Oh btw this post is gonna be ALL over the place...I'm in one of those moods. Um where was I...oh empty nesting. So in the 6 months she's been gone, it's forced us to be so much more than just people who live together and share a few things. Well maybe it didn't force us but we sure took advantage of it, and we've grown so much, in our relationship as a married couple, our relationship as friends, and MOST Importantly our relationships with God, we are by no means where we should be but we are headed in that right direction. It's so cool. So in a mere month our empty nesting days will be over, and we will start that next chapter in our life, the chapter where Mechelle's home for ... hmm what should I call it? haha
Anyway my co-worker and shall I say somewhat clone of my younger self is moving in Friday the 13th, she thought that was the best date...no one else sees it, but I do. She's so much like me some days its scary, but when others are like Emily is....insert whatever it is you'd add, I'm the one who on the inside says yup and I bet she doens't even know why, and you know maybe she can't change that cause its just her, right or wrong just her. It'll be interesting to see her in 20 years. So with Emily moving comes Matt hanging out. Then there's cute little Kara who moved to Arizona only to long to be back home in Georgia. She's currently planning to move in with us at the end of May, she too has a bf, Drew. Oddly enough I know him better than her, he's one of Chelsia's best friends, so we went from one biological kid who had friends over a lot, to an empty nest, to a house full all over again. It'll be fun and interesting I have no doubt. And now my cooking will come in handy, I always cook too much, haha.
Hey, LOVE JESUS. GROW PEOPLE.
