Thank You Atlanta

Dear Atlanta,

Thank you for letting me experience you. From the beauty of your countryside and marvelous sunsets to the terror (for me at least) of your fury and tornadoes. You truly do have some great people here who I will not forget, the southern hospitality for the most part I'd say holds true.

I have made some amazing memories, and experienced a 'different way of life.'  I have taken advantage of a few cool opportunities, along with wishing I had more time here to take advantage of more.  I know I will be back again in a short while for a visit, but am also very excited for new opportunity ahead.

I have had a nice time here and been welcomed in with open arms (which I appreciate very much) by my Aunt and Uncle (and cousins). They could not have been any more helpful or caring. I appreciate everything they have given me and the time we got to spend reconnecting, after not seeing them much when I was younger (due to the fact they lived in NC for a great part of my childhood).  They are great people and I am proud to have them a part of my family! Lots of laughter, some tears, bonding during my lovely unemployment period and late night chocolate escapades :), saying 'goodbye' to Coty (went away to the military for a while), to welcoming in a new member of the family (Bella- our new puppy), teaching Shel about hooping and her teaching me some organization (hah)..the list goes on.


Applebuddies- I have bonded with you all more than I had guessed in the few short months I have been here, but I love you all and know that we will all keep this time to look back on with 'fond memories' (to say the least haha).  Also, to the others I have met during my time here...I'm glad for that too.


Here's to the new people who come into our lives, the old ones who helped shape who we become, and the ones we know will be sticking around through it all. Thank You All!
