Space Needle

Yesterday, I bought my first plane ticket. Next month, I will be flying across country to Seattle, WA. I'm SO excited! I've lived a very sheltered deprived life and haven't ever been anywhere!  I have a friend who is stationed there and is being moved to Japan. So, I'm flying out and were driving back. Let me remind you I'm in ALABAMA.. that's gonna be a looong drive but I'm really excited (can't you tell? I keep saying that haha).  I have already warned my friend that we will HAVE to stop at every single State sign on the way!  Then, when I get back, I'm moving to FL. February is going to be a very busy month!

This past weekend, I went down to my "new home." It's a beautiful, quaint little apartment right in the middle of town which is exactly how I like it. Ever since I was little, the sound of traffic helps me sleep where as complete silence gives me nightmares (no kidding.) Not to mention, its literally right down the street from the beach! While I was down, one of my girlfriends called and asked me how everything was going. She then asked me "do you just feel like you belong there?" I really did. I really felt like it's where I'm supposed to be. It's a big change from 'Town with no caution light, max 200 people' to 'Huge city by beach minimum 439,000 people!' but it's time. Time to get my book started!
