No regrets

Well I haven't done as well with this keeping up with my blogging like I had promised... Yeah I'm bad for that.

So, here's the latest.  The move with the bank was a good one!  I have been very happy with the decision to move branches.  The people I work with are upbeat, dislike drama (a major plus), and just overall nice to work with.  We end up laughing almost daily, most likely because of something I did or said, but it's laughing!  That is what matters most right?!

Okay, now to the nitty gritty portion of the blog the whole personal thoughts and life happenings thing.  Gary and I are going back "home"!!  Can't tell I'm excited at I know.  :)  We have this unexplainable pull to the city.  Maybe it is just that it is completely different from what we are used to, but it has felt more like home than Surry County ever has.  So before this trip I (and Gary I do believe) have been daydreaming about our options.  Yeah, yeah, I know we have talked about moving for years now.  Somehow it feels a little different this time around.   I don't know if maybe time is right or if we are just ready to stop letting fear control our lives, I'm not sure.  Granted we still need to save up a little bit more before we pack our bags and head north.  For those reading this, we originally thought about doing a cookout or some type of get together before we left, however we honestly believe that may make it harder with everyone getting all mushy and weepy eyed.  I am an emotional person already, I don't anyone else to help me!  With that being said, those of you closest to us will get the heads up, everybody else will just have to either find out through Facebook or the grape vine which ever get to you first.  We also have a few more things to purge.  I'm pretty sure I don't want to take all of the crap we have accumulated in the past seven years.  You might be seeing some posts about things we selling.  Most likely it will be next year (I hope) before all of this happens, unless something major changes, so don't freak out just yet everyone.

I am honestly afraid of living my life in fear of what may happen or not happen.  Tired of wondering if people will be okay if I left.  Tired of sitting on the back burner waiting for the right time to come along.  I want to experience life not just watch if from the safety of my security blanket.  I want to shed that blanket and spread my wings and soar!  Although I might need a splint for a wing or maybe both, I don't want to regret it.

"Oh you'll change your mind"

An interesting morning at work... There were 40 kindergarten students inside the bank for a field trip.  Yes you heard correctly, FORTY, five to six year old children!  This did one thing for me, solidified the fact that I do not want children.  I seriously almost had a panic attack when I saw all of them.  Some women are wired for having kids, I am not one of those women. Speaking of women having children, why is it that society expects us to get married and have children?  My husband and I have made the decision to not have any.  Over the years I have been told that I am selfish or I will change my mind when I get older.  I honestly do not see it a selfish act that I do not want to bring a child into this messed up world.  Or that I just don't have the "mommy gene" that people talk about.  The older I get the less I want them.  Our belief is that not everyone is made to be a mother or father, we are those people, at lea...

Short, sweet, and simple : )

So have you ever had the feeling that sometimes your life is spinning out of control or that every turn you make you hit a brick wall.  Well I feel like I have had one of those weeks.  I don't really know if it is just the stress from work that has me all a-muck or maybe I am stressing about the unknown.  All I know is I need a change and I can't wait.

Ready to Soar

So Gary and I have traveled to Washington DC once again and this time coming back was different.  Something has changed in us.  Coming back was much harder than it was the past couple of times. I know that I have returned with a heavy heart and a dimmed light.  Being in a place where you feel like you belong is all that everyone wants.  I have lived in this area my entire life, but for some reason have never felt like I have truly belonged. My dreams are big.  My ideas are out of the "norm".  My beliefs are not "traditional".  I understand that everyone is wired differently, however I feel a constant pressure here to be something that I am not.  I cannot speak for Gary, but it is my belief that he feels the same way. Of courses I have family and friends that I will miss terribly, but this is something that needs to be done.  I need to spread my wings and fly.  I want to fly! I crave an environment with creativ...
