Apparently several others open! I'm metaphorically talking about moving from Dublin to Milan, but in the past week and in the two weeks to come I'm literally talking about doors...lots of them! We'll get to that though. It's been ages since I've written and I've got to catch you up on things. So much has been going on these last few weeks. I had to get things in order on one side of the pond to head to another. I packed my tiny apartment in a few boxes and two suitcases, met an amazing new friend on Friday the 16th of December and spent most of my last weekend in Dublin with him, then he took me to the airport and toted all my belongings for me so I could head back to Charleston on Sunday the 18th.
My flight home was really rather easy...Dublin to Chicago, a three hour layover, then Chicago home. I had no idea they were greeting me at the airport, but when I came from my gate in Charleston I saw T'Lene, Ashley Henson, and Amy Freeman with posters of Dave Matthews and warm welcomes. So sweet. I visited with Mom and went home to crash, or so I thought. Even though it was late, I ended up full of energy and unpacked everything. Smart move at the time.
I was home for 7 days before I had renters move in for the month of January. Funny how I rented the house the one month I would be home, right? It was a surprise arrival two days early so I literally threw everything I'd just unpacked in my suitcases and Mom allowed me to dump it all in her living room.
Christmas was amazing and today, the 26th, I'm sat on a couch at Ashley's as she and her new fiance are in West Virginia and have graciously allowed me to stay at their house for the week while they're out of town. Funny this being a nomad business. Friday I move to T'Lene's and hopefully will stay there through my departure date. I head to Milan on January 18th! So glad to be here in Charleston now though and love catching up with friends and family!
