Hello blogger world!
It's been almost 2 years exactly!
I kind of forgot about this blog I started! I just re-read over my old blogs (all 2 of them) and it's funny how things have changed so much in some ways, and not at all in others.

I am now 31. Still feeling like I'm struggling to figure out this whole adult thing, but in a pretty stable place now.

I also lost my mother.
A year, four months and 26 days ago.
She fought a long, hard three year battle with cancer and lost in the end. It sent me to a dark place.

I am just starting to fight my way back from the darkness.

I still miss her everyday. I still cry a lot. I still feel depression trying to creep it's way in. But I can fight it easier now. I cry less and it doesn't last as long. I'm going to be ok. I can see that now. But for a long time, I didn't think I would be.

I'm glad I fought my way out.

Now, it's a bright new world. I am making plans, making moves and changes. I have been teaching full time for a year and a half now.
I finally have an actual career. And one that I love. I am also moving to Colorado soon. Which is a story for another time.

Anyway, I just wanted to stop in and say hey.
I'm alive. I'm almost well.
And I have once again found my voice, so be ready to hear from me more.
