The Decision.

I know that based on the title of this post, it sounds as though I've made some big life changing decision like to get married or something, and trust me that's definitely NOT it, so just keep reading....

As most of you know, I'm going to serve a mission in January. Originally I was going to stay in Cedar, continue to go to school and work. However those plans have changed as it has become clear that that wouldn't be the best idea. In order to serve a mission I need to have money, and working ten hours a week at Taco Bell is not gonna get me that money. So then it became matter of finding another job so I could save some money but seeing as how jobs in Cedar are scarce, staying in Cedar became less and less of an option. And so it then became a matter of where to go; to Atlanta with my sister, or back to New York. Atlanta seemed like a good idea, however when I think about it I think it would be a little to hectic for me, no offense Kristy.  I've decided to move back to New York. I honestly think that this is the best option for me. I'll be able to get a full-time job, my licence, and have free rent and food.

I have mixed feelings about moving, I'm sad to be leaving Cedar and the life I have here, but I'm also excited to be going home again. I really do feel good about this, I truely believe that I'm doing the right thing in moving and that it's time to say good bye to Cedar and hello to New York. And don't think that you'll be getting rid of me forever, I'll be back. It's not so much of a 'good bye', it's more of a 'see ya later'. It's time for a change, and it's one I'm ready for. So, until next time...

Keep it real guys!

It's been awhile...

Well, it's been quite a while so an update is in order. 
It's well into summer now and the days are long, hot and lazy, and I am loving it. I'm taking a couple of summer classes online and they're pretty easy. I recently went to New York, for my little brothers graduation. It was so much fun!!!! I loved seeing my family and meeting my new baby niece Coraline. While I was there I got to go to Monroe Ave. and introduce the awesome-ness that it is to my little brother. I also picked up some pretty sweet things, including a new card game, a sweet journal that I'll use on my mission and, of course, a couple of new magnets!!! I also got me some Mark's Pizza which was FABULOUS!!! There is nothing like Mark's Pizza and wings, NOTHING I TELL YOU!!!!! I also got to drive around Palmyra and see all the sights, which made me very happy. Seeing my little brother graduate was also really sweet. I can't believe that it's happened, not because I didn't believe it couldn't happen, but because it makes me feel old, mind you he did skip a year. He was crazy ambitious in school and took enough AP's to earn him 56 credit hours. That's enough to equal almost TWO YEARS of school!!! I defiantly won't be surprised when he graduates college before me, especially because I still have at least three years on my degree and I'll be out of school for the next two years with my mission. I also went to NYC but that's a-whole-nother post, that's soon to come.
Keep it real!!
