Big Girl Panties

This is going to be a short (well, shorter than usual) blog, just because I actually have to get up early tomorrow. I do have to say that overall today was a very successful day.

The Lovey Curb Jumper

 
I drove...finally. Seems simple, but not for me. I was not ready for the big scary crowded confusing u-turning roads of New Orleans. But, I conquered my fear and am ready to adventure out again tomorrow. I'm not ready to go on my own yet, but I do feel I am making progress. Tomorrow consists of getting my Drivers License! I've been here long enough, and I feel more and more everyday, like this is where I belong. I finally feel like I am finding myself day by day, and I have reached the happiest point in my life. I'm so excited and I know the best is yet to come. I'm planning out my future and making even more dreams & ambitions. My parents always wished big things for me... But, I bet they didn't wish a population of 343,829 big. I'm gonna make their dreams come true as I live out mine.

It is going to be so exciting getting a LA drivers license. Kind of a sense of permanence.

Also, I am getting ready to file taxes for the first time! Although I feel like I'm stressed to the max worried that one night the FBI are gonna show up at my door if I don't do them correct, I am excited to get it over with just to be able to say I did it!

Honestly, I think I'm transitioning from a bratty little girl into a fine young woman. If I don't learn anything else about life ever, I am learning that sometimes you just have to take leaps and trust that things will find their way. Coming down here was my first leap, and I wouldn't take it back if you paid me all the money in the world. I think the best part of being down here finding myself is knowing that I have such a supportive family back home that are my biggest fans. I can not convey how much they ALL mean to me. I'm a very blessed young lady.
