Here's To A New Chapter

I know everyone is probably tired of hearing (reading?) me talking about this move and I'm hoping that today will be my last sad(ish) post.  This morning I said goodbye to Michigan (the guy).  He left early this morning for vacation - a vacation we were supposed to take together with some of his high school friends.  As hard as it was to give him 1 last hug, say 1 last "I love you" and have 1 last goodbye, I felt really at peace.  I didn't go back to bed and cry, I actually didn't cry at all.  I know that sounds weird because I cry at EVERYTHING but I think at this point I am out of tears.  The truth is, our relationship hadn't worked in months and I think we were both just waiting for that breaking point. I feel like my heart has been broken for awhile and instead of wallowing and crying about this chapter that is being closed, I want to focus on being excited and happy about the new one that stand in front of me!  I want to focus on being around people that love me the same way I love them.

So with that being said, here's to a new chapter.  Here's to another 2nd chance.  Here's to a new and happier Elise. An Elise that knows what she wants (kinda) and isn't going to be afraid to run out and get it.

On another note, I'm tying up all of my loose ends in Kalamazoo today. Pharmacy, bank, packing, having lunch with this lady, taking my last barre class up here and then having a couple of drinks with a few girls.  Busy last day!  I'm trying to get everything ready for the big road trip and have been thinking about downloading and audio book.  Any suggestions?

I had a phone interview yesterday for a new boutique that is opening at the end of October. They want to meet me when I'm in Dallas next week so fingers and toes crossed that 1 of the 2 interviews I have set up turns into an actual job! Mama has bills to pay!

Thank you for sticking with me through this incredibly random post!  I will be back tomorrow for Friday Favorites but that may be my last post for a few days.  Monday/Tuesday of next week will be spent unloading my stuff into storage and driving home to see the family.

Have a fabulous Tuesday yall!
