sweet and sour

Today was a very exhausting day. Now that it's over and time to go to bed, I am looking back on the day and wondering why I didn't enjoy the moment more. This morning, I had a LONG meeting with my mortage man, who I just love! He's so funny! After my meeting, I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off. Then, the best part of my day, Grace. She came to spend the afternoon with me while she waited on that smelly boyfriend of hers :) I haven't had a day with just Grace since I don't know when. It was exactly what I needed. She helped me pack, we ran errands, and watched Cake Boss and Say Yes to the Dress. It's exactly the afternoon I needed. But, instead of enjoying it, I was freaking out about tomorrow...moving day. With all my belongings packed up, I look around this place and sigh. I have so many happy times in this apartment. We celebrated Calla's birthday last year, the National Championship, my first place by myself...just to name a few. I can't believe how much has changed in a year, a month, and a day. Grace and I were discussing how we end up at the right place at the right time...
I never in a million years thought I would be so much in love with Birmingham as I am now. I never thought one person I would depend on for advice would be my best friend's boyfriend. I never thought I'd be a cat lady. I never thought I would like living by myself. I never thought I'd discover so many things about a city alone. I never thought I'd be so happy in my job. I never thought I'd own a house at 22. I never thought I would miss and cherish Guntersville as much as I do now. I never thought my life would go like it is now.
I am so happy and blessed!! :)
