Learning...

Things I've learned (mostly the hard way) in the past few months:

Submission to authority is not only good; it's a self protective measure that will keep me out of a lot of trouble.

I don't want to marry a flirt.

I don't do so well in the city as I thought I did.

I love my family more than I ever dreamed I did.

I miss Michigan, of all places!

Waking up to birds chirping and the sun coming in my window is one of my favorite things in the world.

There is no one more important than Family.

I don't want my children to grow up not knowing their grandparents.

I don't ever want to become a vegetarian; no offense to them at all, it's just that I'm still not up to par in the iron count in my blood after a month of taking iron pills, and now I have to double my already high dosage; killer on the intestines, let me tell you!

I still need my Mom.

I still need my Dad.

I don't do so well being 2226+ miles away from my family.

The cost of living on ones own in Seattle is absurd.

All this to say; my life may soon change drastically.
