Early Riser

I couldn't sleep all last night, so I decided to get ready for work and go to the 24 hour coffee shop and load up on caffeine before I go in so I make it through the day.

Obviously, I made it to Portland. :) I love it here. I had a job 5 days into living here which definitely took a weight off my shoulders.

It's a bit strange not having a car of my own here, but I'm getting used to it and really don't mind it at all. I'm really looking forward to a future here.

There are these two ladies at a table near me just chatting away. It's adorable. As I'm getting older and hanging out with people younger than me, I'm realizing that there are so many things I want. I want a house with a yard and a garden, I want someone special to share that house with and wake up with every morning, and I want a life that I am supremely content with. I mean, I'm happy right now, but I want more.

But there are still a few things I know I need to do that are standing in the way of being absolutely 100% happy with my life. I just need to muster up the courage first.
