Well hello there blog readers. I want to apologize for the lack of posts over the past month or so. I have a valid reason, my Mac went through some problems and needed to be replaced. I want to give a huge shout out to Kendra, my sister-in-law, who was such a huge help in the process of getting me a new Mac. I am so appreciative for all the help that she gave me!
I distinctively remember multiple instances where I wanted to write a post about my week in the woods or about my off shifts, but at this point I can't really remember what those things were. I can't believe that my last post was about going home! It seems like so long ago. And yet I also can't believe that in a little over a week I will be boarding a plane on Thanksgiving morning to be heading home! I am so excited to be going home again and this time all of my siblings and their spouses will be home too! It definitely gives me something to look forward to as I begin to prepare to head back into the woods for another week.
During the past month or so I have had some visitors come through Asheville! My grandparents made an appearance on their way south to Florida. We had a great time visiting and catching up! And this past weekend my aunt and uncle were in Asheville. We enjoyed a couple meals together and also went to the Biltmore Estate. It was a really cool experience and was very impressive. I am always thankful for any family that I get to see down here. Thank you guys for taking time to see me, it means more than my words can express. That was one of the biggest challenges as I moved down here: not having any family or friends even relatively close. But it also gave me an opportunity to really create my own life from nothing. And some six months later I feel as if I can finally say that I really have created a life for myself down here. Including starting to feel a part of a church, having friends to go out to eat or have over to hang out, a stable job that challenges me, a horse job that brings me a lot of joy, and a growing understanding of who I am and where life might take me next.
I guess that I don't have a lot to report at this point in time, and I'm not really one to just talk because I can, so I think that I'm going to conclude this post. I just wanted you all to know that I'm back and my posts should be more regular now!
Alright friends, until next time, bake some cookies! You just can't go wrong with freshly baked cookies!
