So nothing too major happened today. Besides me possibly making some Christian lady friends who are closeish to my age. (I promised myself and you that I would be honest on this blog... even through the not so happy, perfect stuff and so I am going to keep that promise.) Moving back to Olive Branch was an easy decision, my parents are here and the roof over my head is here, so here I am. But most of my friends are either back at Ole Miss or my friends from high school are scattered across the country. Which is where they are supposed to be, but that means I don't have many friends my age here in Olive Branch. At the beginning of the year (and up until a few weeks ago) my migraines were so bad that my life still felt full just hanging out at home watching TV on my computer/reading or with my parents (and I'm not just saying that because they read this blog). I love my parents and they are a lot of fun to do things with. I still rarely feel empty void in my life because of my friendlessness because I'm just now feeling well enough to do all of the projects I've been planning for a really long time. (I have tons of hobbies.) I'm not ashamed of my situation, in fact I joke about it most of the time I talk about it. I've come to terms with the fact that Olive Branch is more of a suburban area and the people who choose to live here (people close to my age) are more likely to be married or have kids. I'm not sure there is another lady at my church my age (or close to that) who isn't married. But that's okay. Except the only time I really do long for a few really good friends is when I look at my mom (and my dad) and see her group of women. They really support each other through thick and thin and there is a bond I've noticed between my mom and her Christian ladies that I'm not 100% sure I've had yet (or it could be the grass is always greener thing, but I like to think it has something to do with their support system and common beliefs instead).
I'm really hoping tomorrow I will be able to post all of the pictures I have already collected plus the pictures I'm going to take tomorrow at the ladies lunch at church. But the project for tomorrow are quickly piling up so I guess we'll see.
I still can't believe how much Will likes Oscar. He even danced with him!
Jack of course was dying for Will to just pet him (which he didn't).
