Simply Charmed

After a month long hiatus I am finally back. For the most part I’ve gotten everything straightened out in my life that I needed to. It’s been a difficult time, but don’t worry I came out completely unscathed. There really is so much to explain that I don’t think I can do it all in one post, but I’m going to try to get most of it out.

So ready for the big news? I’m moving to California!!! I don’t know when I’m going, where I’m going to live, or what I’m going to do at this time, but I’m going. I decided several months back that I was going to stop talking about, and actually going to do it.

Now the reason why I put my site on hiatus was because before I felt ready to announce this on my website (which I’ve been DYING to do), I needed to get some things in my life in order. As many of you know I have a husband, Jimbo. Well what you didn’t know is that we aren’t actually married, we just acted like it.

When I made the decision to go to California I knew it would cause conflict between us, and until I knew that was sorted out I didn’t think I would be able to talk about it on here. Some of you might have noticed in my about me section that I took off any reference to Jimbo. The reason being is we have officially broken up. He just felt like he couldn’t leave his family here.

Which leads me to why I’m going. In July of 07, I met my biological family¹. I’m so happy to have them in my life, but I feel like I can’t get to know them the way I would like to living in Alabama². It was a difficult decision to make, but I am extremely excited.

So what does this mean for the domain? I’ve felt like my blog has been floundering more than a little. With everything going on in my life that I can actually talk about it helps give me direction. I plan on using it to chronicle my journey and the next steps I’m taking into my life.

I do have much more to talk about, and get more in depth about all these aspects, but I plan on breaking it up into different posts, so keep an eye out for that. It’s so good to be back, and I look forward to sharing more about this with everyone!

2. They all live in California, obviously [↩]

For those of us that are celebrating I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. If anyone is traveling this holiday please be safe.

I’ll be at work til 3pm, and then after that I’m going to my mom’s. So I’ll be away for the rest of the day. Gobble Gobble!

I’m being lazy today. I’ll start returning comments tomorrow. I cleared out my Google Reader cause I had like over 300 to read and I just didn’t feel like doing it. Again have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

So Friday was a fun day before I actually had to go into work. You’ll have to forgive me if this post is a bit scattered, I’ve been up for almost 24 hours now, and I’m a bit tired.

I got an update on my right wrist tattoo. It just didn’t have quite the pop that I imagined. So I had Will thicken out the lines, and add some green shading. He also did some touch up work on 2 other of my tattoos.
