I decided to blog for those of you who have any interest in my "New Life" in L.A. (you are probably thinking HOLY COW Jami moved to Cali...UM no, L.A. also stands for Lower Alabama). After a year of "I will NEVER live in Mobile", BF finally got me here and on Day 4 I have to say it may be one of the smartest things I have ever done. I don't think it's too quick to say this was smart so I don't have any reservations about saying it. This marks my tenth move since I left my parents home in the summer of 2002...yes I didn't make a typo...I said TEN! I am really surprised my parents haven't disowned me by now but I am very lucky they haven't because I could have never made it here without them. If I have anything to be thankful for it's that I have the World's GREATEST parents! Lucky for me I am only 1.5 hours from them now. I am Daddy's Little Girl and my mom is my best friend so needless to say I am VERY happy about this and looking forward to spending time with them this summer. The move went well, I'd have to say it was one of the less stressful ones for me for some reason. The whole process of packing and saying goodbye to everyone in Atlanta was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I moved a lot as a child but I had been in Atlanta since 6th grade. I only cried once throughout the whole process which for someone as emotional as me, is a huge accomplishment. I left behind many great girl friends, but I know I'll see them again and I know it wasn't goodbye, it was see ya later! I can't lie I miss them all already but that's ok, I know I'll make it. The BF has been so sweet through this whole thing, I arrived to a "Welcome Home" sign and a sweet card. He has put up with my decorating and organizing and always says "whatever you want babe", I am a lucky girl. I am LOVING the new place! I'll post some pics once I finish decorating...I know you all are just so anxious to see! This is it for moves hopefully until we buy a house...I don't think my furniture can move again! My dad has retired from the moving business...I don't blame him. Lola is loving her new home, she has taking her place as "Princess of the Adam's Palace" Somehow she has taken over the larger dog bed and seems to get belly rubs whenever she wakes up at night! Lola would expect nothing less of course. I spend most of my day with the dogs so it's been fun to watch them interact, Precious acts like a big sister which is sweet. I am looking forward to the weekend so I actually get to spend some time with BF. He is working nights for the next 2 nights so I am home doing homework. Last night I had my first softball game...UM let's just leave it at that and we will revisit it once I improve my skills! I'll go to Texas next Wednesday with my family for my grandfathers funeral. Although the terms of the trip are sad, it's exciting to see the family. I found out today I won't take my finals until May 3rd and 4th so I am relieved slightly because I have a little more time to finish all my assignments. I'll spend that whole week in Florida with my parents and then hopefully find a job right after!
That's all for tonight, I need to get back to my homework. Check back often for updates on "Life in L.A.", I'll try to make it interesting!
