Adios.

Good Bye.

I have been resting and breathing.  Once in awhile taking a deep breath is good for the soul.  This week is the end to many milestones.  It is the end to my last winter break.  I start my last semester of college tomorrow.  This is the last month we are living at Mark Iv.  I have been struggling with a obscure emotion.  I hate this apartment.  With all of my being but this was mine and Richard's first apartment.  Two years ago we sat in this living room with all of our belongings at Park University.  We bought beer and Gardettos.  We brought Sophie home two years ago.  We walked down those stairs and sat her on the floor.  Her floppy head sniffing every crevice.  This is home.  No matter how much I hate this apartment, it has been my shelter.  I will miss the memories but I am excited to take the next step. The next step of life should be a thrill.

And this will be home.

The last weekend of February we will be surrounded by two lakes, two pools, dog park, girl's nights, cooking classes, yoga lessons and free breakfast once a month prepared by a chef.  Yes we looked for houses with yards but this will have to become home until we can buy a house.  Once my savings bonds mature.

This is what I have been up to this past week.

Taking engagement photos for an old friend from high school.  Aren't they beautiful.

I also ran 5 miles today.  I will miss my running routes but I am excited to find where my feet will take me.
