Update

Well, I guess I haven't really updated on how Rapid City is going so I will do that.

Chris and I came down to Rapid City on August 1 to move our stuff into the nice place, and the day after that Chris went back to North Dakota until he finished his job which his last day was August 15. I had a wedding in Fargo on the 16 so as he was moving down here, I was going up to ND for the weekend. We are both finally down here together. Haha..

I have to admit that the 2 weeks that I had nobody here were 2nd hardest 2 weeks of my life(my mother's brain aneurism being the first). It was so hard being here having no friends. I went to work, came home, watched seasons on DVD, went to sleep, got up...and all over again. I had no friends. I still don't have any friends, but at least Chris is here now.

The 2 weeks prior were near impossible for me and I was so close to giving up. It was even harder than treatment. I seriously would rather go to treatment for a year than have 2 weeks with nobody in my life. (Let me rephrase that...a year without any chance of having to go on caution status..haha)

I have lived my entire life being able to make friends. I guess I have just taken it for granted in the past and never really thought I wouldn't have a friend. I just assumed that having friends was a part of life. I do have coworkers, but most of them have families and probably wouldn't want to go out to a movie with me.

At least Chris is here now so it makes things a little easier, but it is difficult for me to hang out with Chris every night. I don't know why..it may just be the independent side of me. I have a hard time hanging around a man every night...even though it is my husband. I still need that night that I have with my friends. I'm strange I know, but I always feel so obiligated to be a good wife...nevermind..that's another blog topic.

All in all, Rapid City is great..I just wish I didn't feel so alone when I'm around so many people. I am excited that I don't have therapy anymore. It was weird leaving my therapist that I had for 4 1/2 years, but I'm suppose to call her monthly to keep her updated. Haha..she's silly.

Well, I hope that everyone is having a great week. Don't forget to watch Brie on TV tomorrow!

Wedding song

Hey ladies!

So I'm singing in a wedding on the 30th, and I recorded myself singing the song so that I could get feedback from my sister and from the bride and a couple of my friends. I figured I would go ahead and put it on my blog to get some feedback from you all. So if you could all tell me what parts I could work on...that would be great. Thanks ladies!!! Love you and miss you!

Rapid City

Well, we got here yesterday at about 3:00 and didn't finish moving are stuff in until 9:30!! Eek! It was horrible carrying all the heavy stuff up 3 flights of stairs, but we finally did it. Chris and I were rather tired so falling asleep in the new place wasn't difficult at all. He even fell asleep under the bed when he was hooking up the power cord for our alarm clocks. I was going to take a picture, but our camera is packed somewhere :)

Here is our living room..I'm pretty excited because it is so much bigger than the living rooms we've had in the past.


Here is our kitchen. They got us all brand new appliances so that's pretty stellar!


Here is the hallway to the bedrooms. It's going to be nice to have a spare bedroom.



Now comes the long and tedious duty of unpacking. I'd better go get started :) Have a great weekend everyone!!
