A Year Ago

A year ago we came down to Talla.hassee for the first time. I remember being exhausted from working all day, then having to drive down here. Once we got here, we got lost trying to find the hotel. NYEBoy was going to meet some people from the department and we would also be house hunting. I spent most of my time in the hotel while he was at school. I had no interest in being his arm candy* when I knew big words would be flying from people's lips**.

Our visit was short, but what a difference a year makes, or does it? I still don't know anyone*** else here and we're house hunting, again. I do now know that there are only about six major streets and they all are inside of a big circle, so if I get lost, I'll eventually get back to my starting point. I'm also not working as hard as I could now. Thanks Honey!

I still don't like Talla.hassee any more than I do from the first visit. It doesn't feel like home, really. I miss Mem.phis. Actually, I just miss being close to my friends and family. It sucks knowing we probably will never get back to Mem.phis because once he gets his PhD, we have no idea where we will end up. I hope he knows how lucky he is that I am here. Yes, I know how lucky I am to have him, but for fuck sake, I left everything for him.

*I'm so full of myself, aren't I?
**Not about me, about their studies, silly. I can only think of one big word to describe me, which is fuckilicious. (I told you I was full of myself!)
***I totally was suppose to meet her yesterday, but I overslept. When I woke up NYEBoy had taken the car to go see a movie because he forgot about my plans. Fuck! I hope she doesn't hate me.
