It is done. I have moved all but our bikes and a couple games that I would like from the old house. I feel both happy and sad. Happy to have a place that I own and call my home, sad to leave a small town called Midway where I have lived my last 26 years. Never venturing far from La Crosse. I have been out of La Crosse. I have been to Texas, Florida, and Boston. But my main life exists only within that 100 mile radius of La Crosse that Greya points out. I think the main reason behind it is that I prefer to feel 'safe'. Not that we can every be 100% safe but it's where I feel comfortable; better way to describe it. But now that I have basicly everything out of the old house, I'm feeling sad to be leaving Midway. I must convince myself to venture out into this world. To try new things. To not be so worried about being 'safe' and to try new things. To stop being such a pack rat and to rid myself of things that really won't help me anymore in life. To take my next new step into this world.
I think times are looking up for us. Beth is doing the PartyLite now, and I think she will love selling it as soon as she gets used to doing it. We're making a few new friends. I'm hoping to have that expensive piece of paper that says that I know what I know within the next year or two. Looking forward to the prospect of having a family in the future. I'm hoping that things just get better from now until death.
Sunday night was fun. We had Andy and his girl over. We went out for dinner, saw the northern lights, played 2 games of clue, and a few games of Worms World Party. Geoff also stopped in after he was done with work to chat with all of us. It was a good evening. I hope I get to play more games again. I think it's been a bit hard on me with not having anyone to play games with for the last few months. I miss the Friday night gaming at the in-laws or the Fri & Sat gaming of past.
It's late and I think it's time to head to bed. Talk with ya later, to whoever is listening.

It is interesting to know how we create the world around us. How we decide who we spent time with and how we treat them. No one in this world ever means nothing. Their life in this world affects others. Even though many people no longer speak to me, I still mean something in their lives. Everyone that has been in my life means something to me. I try to treat others the way I would hope they would treat me. If people are not going to put effort into helping to make their life better and my life better then why am I going to keep wasting my time & effort on them? I'll put as much effort into a friendship as they are willing to put in.
The other bit of info I feel like sharing right now is that I have the tendency to find out about a lot of stuff. I think the reason I know a lot is that I ask questions. It's also interesting that no one ever asks me about much. I am a very curious person. That is why I am so quiet when I go out with people. I just sit there and listen and only say anything if someone asks me something. And it's odd how I easily get overlooked and how no one wants to ask me questions. But they seem surprised when I seem to know a lot, for when I do make myself known.
I almost have everything moved. I think about 2 more trips should do it. The garage is getting full and it will take some time to sort thru it all.

Hello world. This week feels like it was the week from hell. The last 2 weeks have been very busy for me for I have been trying to move 6 years of stuff. If you don't already know, we bought a house on the north side of La Crosse. We where suppose to be out of the old house by the 1st of the month but I was unable to do that. I've still have more to move. It's been nice that the new house and the moving has helped me keep my mind busy. It's not bad having a new place. The major changes that I have to get use to is the commute to work in the morning and not being able to go in the house on break. Otherwise everything else just seems like normal.
When you move, it really shows who your friends are. Since we have had the new house, one of them has fallen off the face of the earth. A few have promised to help us move but always seem to be busy and are not making any effort to help us. One tried to help but I found that he is only good at moving big things and for small things it is better to just do it myself. Andy has been the guy to help the most and I very much appreciate all that he has done. We are suppose to be going out to dinner with him tomorrow. Christopher and Jon helped a bit with the move and deserve a thank you.
Well, breaks over. I have to get going and move more stuff. Maybe I'll talk later, not that is matters.
