To the Most Important People In My Life

Something in my life occurred that all of you know about.
I don't attend college anymore and I started working at a news station called KTXS in Abilene.
A little over 2 months ago I moved to Abilene (July 23rd) to start my different, new way of living.
I didn't know what to expect but I was definitely excited.
The day before my dad and brother left I started having doubts and mixed feelings about the whole move and change, yet they still left because it was happening.
My mom stayed a few days after they left to help me get settled in and not feel as overwhelmed.

Monday, July 26th I started my first day at work.
I started on Camera's even though my boss told me I would start on Teleprompter.
I thought it was awesome to start on camera's.
My first 2 days I trained with a guy named Chance (who made my feel completely comfortable).
After the first 2 weeks I already knew cameras and prompter and I felt like I was getting the hang of it, work that was.
Now the living on my own part, not so much.
I would come home and weep of loneliness or just the fact that I was scared.
I decided that work was my "family", my comfort zone.
The guys of course make fun of me, call me weird, awkward, needy, and much more.
I've invited the guys to come over and have pizza.
Brandon, Chance, Tyler, and I go play football after work.
Hang out on break and watch the TV channels that the guys like to watch since I'm out-numbered haha.

Life wasn't easy still.
Breaking up with the boyfriend, saving up money, doing what I wanted, not many friends anymore, having the freedom, boredom, but yet nothing was easy.
Of course I didn't give up.
I feel as if I'm finally in the strongest stage yet.
I'm doing alright for being a "noobie" at this whole living on your own thing (definitely not like college).


(Just a little note for everyone to know how I'm doing).
