Shane and I head to Utah this week for a house hunting trip. No, this isn't to buy...but to find a place to rent. Blah. Oh well. It's better than the alternative (homeless) right?
I have the best friends in the world. I had posted to my Facebook that I needed to maybe invest or borrow some rolling carry on size luggage. One of my good friends back from our apartment days (when we had one kid) let me know that she had tons to let us borrow and that she could bring us over one, thus saving me the $.
She came over tonight and walked in with a really nice looking, red, rolling, luggage bag. I opened it up and there was a note inside saying "this one isn't to borrow, it's all yours."
You better believe I started to cry. Who woulda thought that a stupid piece of luggage would be enough to make me that sentimental. I literally fought back gallons of tears and hugged her tightly. It's friends like this that I will miss so very very much. Sure, I will make more friends in Utah...but it's always hard for me. I am not the most social of people, face time speaking anyway, and I honestly get to know people much better via Facebook and Twitter.
I figure that using such outlets as these make it easier for me to stop myself before saying something completely ignorant sounding...I worry that people won't like me in Utah because I am nothing like 90% of the population there.........I may be Mormon but I am
not their kind of Mormon.
It scares me. I don't know if I will have many close friends there; ones that can read about my craziness and still love me. I have lots of quirks and issues. What if I don't find people that really want to put up with such things? What if I am not "perfect" enough for them?
I feel like I did when my parents told me we were moving to another city, back in the 7th grade. I was petrified. I hate new places and never foresee myself changing that about myself. I don't like not knowing where I am going, and in this case the weather or how to drive in it or how to dress in it even...
I am scared, and I miss my friends whom I haven't even left already. How am I going to be able to do this?
