Blahhhhhgggggg: November 2009

i feel like i have a lot of things to blog about, but unfortunately, i haven't really felt like writing so this old thing has gone by the wayside. But i'm back (for now) and so i'll keep it to 2 things. First, i am really happy about moving to a new place. it was kind of scary and overwhelming at first to move to a whole new place and have almost no friends. i am really not sure why i didn't think about all of it before i left, but i sure didn't! now that i'm here, i am slightly impressed with myself for being in a new town with new people and exploring a city pretty much alone. lp is still at that stupid training, so i've really had to do all the exploring and finding things by myself. it's a nice feeling to be somewhere and realize that you really can do these things by yourself, even if you don't really have anyone else by you physically. it's also kind of nice not really knowing anyone. it gives you a real chance to meet new people. and if you don't like them, you don't have to talk to them again! ha!!

so, second thing. my new friends shea and geach took me to see leaves. i was telling them about how this was the first time in a while that i had really seen leaves change colors. in texas, the leaves are either green or brown. that's it. so we were talking about it and they decided that we should go on a drive and check out the leaves. we went towards mount vernon and drove through some parks and along a really pretty road with tons of leaves and i took pictures!

i really liked all the leaves that had falen on the ground against the green grass. it looks so pretty!!!

feet and leaves!

we also found a "fort" that was an old weapons storage place back during the war. don't ask me which war, i didn't actually read the sign because it was raining.
