Yesterday as I was eating lunch with my friend at in n out she looked at me & said I love your blog so much. I read all of your posts yesterday & I especially love your Friday letters to Lola. I can't even tell you how happy that made me :) It's nice to hear from people that read my blog. With that being said, I am back to my Friday letters so here goes nothing.
Dear Tmcc: I like you so far. The one thing I think I would change is your parking deal. Also, going up the mountain gives me horrible anxiety. I have no clue how I will be able to do it once winter comes around.
Dear Fall: I can't put into words how happy I am that you are around the corner! I've already bought 3 febreeze air fresheners, pumpkin car fresheners, & I will soon be buying pumpkin candles. I did also buy 1 apple scented thing. Fall is definitely my favorite & I can't wait to experience a real fall up here in the North.
Dear Lola: I miss you :( I miss having you around me all of the time. I knew you were a big part of my life, but I guess I didn't realize how much I'd miss you when I left. I hope you haven't forgotten about me :/
Dear Reno: Please stop with this allergy nonsense. I was doing fine until I got up here. Now I have wind chapped lips & a plugged up nose every morning. This nonsense needs to stop asap. & I can't wait to go check out the Rib Cook Off :)
Dear Corey: Stop calling me & asking me to go places that you know I can't go to! Although I do love when you do it on accident. I didn't realize how much we actually did stuff together until I moved up here. Book your ticket to come up here already before it goes up again!

Well everyone I did it. I've made it past week one! I never thought I'd really every do this move, but here I am. After I got done writing my post for last week I had to take my mom to the airport. That was probably the hardest part of this whole week. Seeing my mom leave & knowing that I wasn't going back home with her. I've been to Reno a few times for a couple of days, but never for good. My mom & I are very close. She's always been there for me even when no one else was. So when I finally dropped her off I was not ready at all. I didn't think I'd cry, but anyone who knows me knows I'm a crybaby. I've been that way since I was a little girl so it will probably never change. As I pulled up to the airport it finally hit me. My mom was really leaving me here by myself. By this time I had to put on my sunglasses so that no one would stare at me crying. We hugged & said our goodbye's & that was the end of that. As I'm leaving the airport I got pulled over by a highway patrol car & was asked if I knew I was going 30 in a 15. I of course told him I was new & didn't know my way around & the guy must have felt bad for me since I was bawling my eyes out that he thankfully let me go. During this week though I have made 1 new friend. Yay for me :) I have a few friends up here, but not near as many as I do back home, but I like being able to go around town & not know anyone. I'm a mystery for now, & I'll keep it that way for a little while. What I can say though is that I miss my dogs like crazy! At least my mom facetimes me so that I can see Lola & Doodle every couple of days. I miss having my dogs :/ Not having to fight for space on my own bed is weird to me. My mom has already tried to get me to fly home for Labor Day, but I figured I'd wait it out until I'm really homesick. I think if my mom had her way she'd fly me home every weekend. I do know so far though that this move was probably the best thing I've ever done. It's nice to be able to spread my wings away from my parents, my family, & everything I know. I think everyone should move out of their hometowns at least once. It's not for everyone, but I think in this moment in my life it's what I need. I need to learn to by myself without anyone else's input. This week I went & checked out my new school, Tmcc. I've been here 2 times before, but I never really got to walk around the school so my new friend Mary & I walked around, found our classes, got books, & hung out. That school is 10 times bigger than good ol Nsc. Which btw Nevada State College pretty much stinks, I've been waiting a month to get my english scores from them & they never get back to me. I've gotten lost a few times this week again, but hey I'll learn. I talk to Corey every single day & I've even facetimed Monyca & Rae bear, which makes me happy. I can't wait until October though because Corey & Monyca will be coming up here for Nevada day :) I can't wait to show them around once I finally know this city like I do good ol Hendo. Today I went & had lunch with one of my guy friends from high school at this place called Great Basin Brewing Co. He just moved up here in March so it's nice having a friend from Las Vegas up here as well to hangout with. The one thing I don't like about Reno is that everything is a 20 minute drive! In Henderson everything I wanted was within 10 minutes of me pretty much. All I know is I'm so happy with the decision I made & I can't wait to see where this adventure takes me. I will be writing again next week just so that I can keep my Aunt J in the loop this time. She facetimed me & made sure I knew that she found out I was moving because of my blog post. Sorry Aunt J! Tomorrow I start school back up & I'm slightly nervous, but hopefully it'll be fun. I will let you all know next week.
Xoxoxo,

Hello old friends :) I am so behind on my blog. I loved writing in this thing every week, but after awhile it starts becoming a little too intense. Sometimes I can never think of anything to write, but here I am yet again. Hopefully this time I will be back for good. As Corey always says, I'm indecisive. The last time I wrote in this I was still living in Henderson, but now that's changed. I finally did it! I moved to Reno! After all this time I finally made the move I've wanted to make forever. Nothing to hold me back this time. The couple of times that I had tried to move before there was always something that popped up, but this time I was finally ready to go. The worst part about leaving home for the first time is that I'm 8 hours away from everything that I know. My family, my friends, my dogs, my job. I guess you could say everything. All I keep telling myself is that if you never try what you're scared of, you'll never know what could have been. Reno is a lot different from home though. New people, new places, I get lost often, but hopefully after awhile that changes. Although a lot of my family members have already said they can't wait to visit. I can't wait to see them even though it's only been 2 days. The worst part of this whole thing will probably be....the snow :0! I have only driven in snow twice in my life & both times I was very nervous. Hopefully that gets easier as well. Being up here brings back a lot of good memories for me & I'm glad that I'm here. Well everyone wish me luck! I will try to keep this up to date so we shall see how that goes :)
