Day 2: Here comes the sun.

Beautiful day here in the OC, not really much to complain about there.

Today, so far, has been pretty normal. I had a meeting at corporate for the company I work for from 9-3, which was awesome because I love the people I work with, and my bosses :]. We got to talking about our goals and dreams and stuff, and I expressed my wanting to be a singer but stay in the company while I get there. I mentioned moving out of California, and the girls all wanted to hear about everything I'm planning. I figured it was a pretty awesome thing so I decided I would write about it!

So I've known this girl Jenna since I was like 12. She has grown to be one of my best friends, and I absolutely CANNOT live without her in my life. She graduated high school a year after me, and got accepted to Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee.

I was extremely happy for her when I heard the news! My baby girl is going to COLLEGE! AHH! But the selfish Liz was pissed that she was gonna be all the way across the country. On top of that, her Mom (who I also love), moved to Colorado. So basically what happened is, she left me completely. This was gonna suck.

We manage to keep in touch via Facebook, and of course texting. But that was never enough for either of us. So she came up with the brilliant idea (as a joke at the time) that I should move out there with her. We would live in a cute little 2 bedroom with 2 cats, Belle and Ariel (who has since been changed out for Meow), and be the cutest little indie roommates ever. I guess this little joke planted a seed in both of our brains, because we started to get more serious about it. I started looking at apartments in my free time, and she told me all the cutest places to eat and shop, along with the good areas to live. Eventually, a couple months later, it was set. Summer of 2013, I would no longer reside in Southern California, but Nashville! Such an exciting thing getting out of the OC bubble.

Soon enough we were looking at plates, and random baubles that we would have all around our cute apartment. But the hard part was yet to come, telling my parents. Neither of them were, or are, happy about it. But my Dad put it best, "I don't WANT you to move across the country, but you're an adult, and if that's what you want, your Mom and I will support you because we're your parents and we love you." Thanks Daddy <3.

In the back of my mind I always sort of had that doubt, maybe this isn't actually going to happen. I mean I want it to SO BAD, but a couple of the things I have wanted SO BAD recently have fallen through. I figured, maybe I should just stop trying so hard for it. It's more than a year away! But then fate stepped in.

I'm going to school for cosmetology starting this summer, of course Jenna knows that, I tell her everything.

March 2, 2012:
I'm at Disneyland, waiting in line for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I get a text from miss Jenna.
"GUESS WHAT?!"
"What?"
"My mom's old roommate's sister owns a really nice salon in Nashville. Holla"


I felt like I was gonna pass out. This was OBVIOUSLY meant to be. I mean nothing would work out more perfect! I'll finish out the program around winter, be an assistant in a salon out here for a little while, and then when I move pick up where I left off! Someone has to be involved in this upstairs, it's just too good to be true!

So that's where I'm at as of now. Excitedly awaiting my first trip out there to check out the apartment, and longing for time to move faster!

In other notes:
The no contact thing with Tanner was okay, I kept zoning out and wanting to text him in the meeting. I kept myself in line though. *sigh* If only he was in the picture for good, things would be PERFECT.
