I didn't want my Saturday to end. Like I said last weekend, I went to Megan's graduation open house in Eden and despite the 3 hour drive (which was quite stressful) I had a FABULOUS time...
I caught up with Jim's mom (Jackie), Jim's grandparents, Jim's youngest brother (Ryan), and met Megan's parents (who, by the way, are totally awesome). I honestly wasn't sure what to expect from Jim's family. I hadn't seen them since last July. But wow, did I ever feel loved. Jackie practically threw herself at me and gave me a hug so tight I couldn't breathe for a few seconds, haha. Man, did I miss his family. I had long talks with every member. As everyone was leaving, his grandparents said to me, "Now Leah, we need to see you more often. You tell Jim he needs to bring you over for dinner sometime soon. We miss seeing you." Jackie said, "Leah, you're more than welcome at the house any time. I'll even feed you." (there's a long running inside joke about the feeding part) Needless to say, I had a blast. I missed Megan so much. She LOVED her gifts, which made me happy! She's going to school at Guilford College so I told her that whenever I come to visit Gboro in the fall, we will definitely be meeting up for dinner and maybe clubbing (since I miss downtown Gboro and Megan wants to go so bad!) Hopefully Megan will come visit me here in Greenville this summer! Megan's mom (Lynn) said she would be more than happy to let Megan come see me, so YAY!
Once I left Eden, I headed south to Gboro, where I met up with Ashley for a few hours. I love girl talk with her. She was trying to persuade me to move back to Gboro. The thought has crossed my mind a few times. I just don't know where my life is taking me. I'm stuck in the lease for my current apt in greenville till next July 31st. By then, my parents will be living in Raleigh and that's where I was sort of thinking about moving to next. However, my heart is in Gboro. I can't help it. The thing is I want to go to nursing school next August. Soooo, I'm planning to apply to Wake Tech CC in Raleigh and probably Guildford Tech CC in Gboro. I don't think I can go to school in Gboro though because I won't have a job while in nursing school and therefore will not be able to afford to live in an apt (even with a roommate). Since my parents will be living in Raleigh, if I went to school there, I could live at home. But at the age of 25, do I really want to live with my parents??? Ummm, NOOOOOO! I just don't see any other way. Unless I happen to get engaged/married by this time next year, which is very very highly unlikely.
Sooo, anyways, lots to think about and lots of problem solving to do in the next year.
I had a great Saturday and a relaxing Sunday. Now its time to start my first 50 hour work week.
