i'm at a completely different place in my life right now than i ever thought i would be. since this past august, i have gone from being extremely close to my parents to being pretty much estranged from them. things have gotten better, we talk a bit more now, but i never even would have imagined that this would have happened. this past fall i moved up to maine until this january, and i dealt with more snow than i ever wanted to. it was beautiful, i have to say, but still, looking back at this time last year, i never would have imagined the things that have happened to my life in the last few months.

on a good note, i am happier than i've ever been, now the only stressful thing in my life is money. but otherwise, things are good. i have an amazing fiance, a great apartment, going to school, and the money problem will be ok once my student loans come in.

i'm only 20, will be 21 in less than 2 months, but my life has drastically changed in just the past few months
