Transitions

Mood: Anxious borderline psycho
Listening to: Moldy oldies (for the last time)

Huh.

I have been neglecting my blog again, and for very good reason. We've been so busy sorting out our life and our things that I haven't had much time to sit back and reflect. It's sad really because sometimes I write these things in my head and never get a chance to actually get it out in words. I've missed some pretty good stuff. Good to me anyway.

Soon my Midcontinent service will be canceled and my account will go away - and since it hosts this particular weblog, it too will vanish. Which is pretty symbolic because most of what has been said here is old, and part of a different life. I spent my years in Bismarck growing up. I'll be spending my grown up time somewhere else. I can't tell you how sad I am to leave Bismarck. I have a lot of memories of this place. Some I am more than happy to leave behind and others I will keep with me for as long as I have the memory to keep them.

I used to think I was thrilled to leave the Tribune. But the fact is, I like what I do right now and I am sad to leave it behind. It was hard to deal with some of the people there, but I always liked having the opportunity to be creative and learn something new. I have made some friendships that I know I will hang on to. Others not so much.

I am having a hard time looking forward to my next 'adventures' in MN. I should be excited, because most people I talk to are excited about it. They say "How great for you!" and I'm not quite at that stage yet. Currently I'm more sad to leave.

Blargh!

On the flip side (because I need one right now) I am moving closer to a friend that I have had longer than any other. More opportunities. More entertainment. I'll be away from the bubble of Bismarck, where everybody knows everybody's business. The larger version of Minot.

So when I get there, I hope to make a new start, and a new web page. Complete with a new blog about the new adventures in my amazing life. I don't know how long this page will be up, but do expect it to vanish soon. Those of you whom I keep in touch with will be notified of a new address in the future.

And if you want to keep in contact with me when my main email address goes away, please don't hesitate to write me at wendy-cass@excite.com. Go write that down.

Also, our Julia page will probably have bad picture links until I move all the photos to another server. We'll fix it when it breaks I promise.

I have made a lot of mischief and made a lot of messes, but the important things I made are those that will follow me wherever I go. Everything else just doesn't matter.

Two years of bliss and every dream I could have ever dreamt come true. I love Rob.
