THIS WEEK.
5:17 PM
This week has been tough, wonderful, exciting, and involved to say the least. I feel like my mind, body and soul have been hung out to dry and to be examined by strangers, and friends alike. I'm lucky enough to be down south with my boyfriend. I needed him to talk me through the highs and the lows of these past few days.
A few days ago, we went to look for apartments together. North enough to make me happy (and keep me as close as possible to my parents), while south enough so that if he gets a job/I get into school, it would still be possible to make the commute. While I don't LOVE the idea of living in souther california, we found a wonderful place that I think we'll both love. It's quite a jaunt outside of the city, and is only 9 miles to Malibu! It's brimming over with state parks, hiking trails, places to horseback ride, and is very close to the beach, while still being full of culture, and excitement. I am so excited for the next phase of my life, and to finally live with my boyfriend. The time just seems right, and everything seems to be falling into place.
I attended a group interview for Loyola Marymount's educational counseling program yesterday, and I was nervous as can be! I came out full of confidence, and then immediately broke down thinking that I did everything in the world wrong. I had to relive the entire experience in order to realize that everything went fine. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. If not...well, something else will have to be figured out. The campus and the program seemed wonderful though. A tad bit expensive, but I suppose it's the price of my future, and you get what you pay for.
Jimmy and I also celebrated our 4th anniversary together! I can't hardly believe it. It's simply stunning how fast 4 years can go by when you're sharing them with someone you love. I remind myself everyday how blessed I am to have him by my side to share this world with. He has become a pro at calming my down, making me laugh, and knowing exactly how to make me feel better when I believe my world to be falling apart. I simply cannot wait to share my life with him, see shows with him, travel, get married, have babies...there are just so many good times ahead. I am so lucky.
This week has been full of it's ups and downs. My heart goes out to the wonderful people struck by tragic circumstances in Colorado. It hurts my heart to think about those people who were affected. The family, the friends, the loved ones. I just hope that they can find peace.
Here's to hoping that LMU accepts me, that I stumble upon a wonderful scholarship, that more travelling is close ahead, and that my boyfriend and I can find a way to merge out lives together.
