I'm in Florida again. NOt a lot going on, just picking jobs, and trying to find a school to go to for photography. I'm thinking Academy for art and design in tampa, but it's a bit of a drive from lakeland where I live.

cool fact: Polk county has over 600 lakes (that's where I live :))

anywho...guess that's a good enough update

Moving...again!

I moved, and I'm happy for the first time in a long time!

21 Days!

well, there's been a countdown for a while, but it didn't really seem relevant to include everyone earlier. Sorry. :) anywho...I'm moving on a whim. No job yet. Maybe I'll sing for my supper every night, who knows? I'll be living with someone I've known since the summer before 5th grade, and we met at a girl scout day camp...even though he's a boy (lol, lmao...long story!). his name is Chris. :) And all I can do is smile! I'm so terribly excited, and I feel like my life is really going to start turning around. I feel like this is the first time I've felt optimism in a long time! YAY! only 21 Day Left till I head for Nashville! Woo-Hoo! then probably in 3 or 4 months after I move there, unless I become a famous country music singer while I'm there, I'll be movin' back to the lonestar state! Houston, or Arlington, we haven't decided yet! So we'll have to have a big get together anyway! That's all for now! Miss you guys!

Love,
Lauren

The countdown Begins!

SOOOOOOOOOO! Here's an update for all you readers interested in my boring life in xangaland:

I'm getting a divorce. I'm happy about it, so don't feel sorry for me or anything. In fact, although it's been a long and tearful experience, I feel as though I've come out on top. Everything happens for a reason. Also, I will be moving to Nashville, TN in 24 DAYS! I'm so terribly excited and scared all at the same blink of an eye! Going to finally do something for me that makes me happy, I'm going to pursue my Country Music Career! Wish me luck and say your prayers that I get A LOT better at playing my guitar! LOL. Anyway. I hope all is well with you folks out there, you're all always in my thoughts and prayers.

Muah*

here's your long awaited entry from moi, to all of you out there in xangaland.

things are alright for now. just working a lot, and helping my friend take care of her kids while her husband is on his fourth deployment. I'm dating someone, but don't ask, 'cause I won't tell. :)

anywho...not really all that much going on. i'm still struggling to find out my purpose and meaning, and most importantly who I am. and i get depressed about it sometimes, and i get sad about how my life has turned out, too, but at the end of the day, i just try and get some rest and move foreward. i might not be going anywhere, but at least i'm not sitting still. it's really interesting how you can think (at a young age) that you know what your purpose is, and what you want to do with the rest of your life, and then you make one move outside of what you wanted to do, and it shifts your entire destiny. i don't regret, don't get me wrong, i just wonder. i wonder what my life would be like now, had i made some different choices along the way. i am a firm believer, however, that everything happened to me for a reason. i believe that i might not be as close to some people that i used to be very close to in the past, because i needed them for something in the past, for the grand design of my life, and then i moved onto new places and new people, where the old friends were not forgotten, just not needed. we all moved on. we all moved foreward, sill keeping the ties that bind us as friends, just not needing them as often.

so i'll go now, leaving you avid readers waiting for another long-awaited entry from me.

~Lauren~

p.s. here are some pretty pictures that i've taken recently...if you want to see more, there are a lot on my facebook, and my myspace

I'm going through the big D, and don't mean Dallas...

So i guess this is how it all ends, with a big 'ol smack on the ass and a "see ya later." I suppose that all this is for the better, but it's really hard to let go of someone that you loved and cared for for so long. Not that 2 years is a long time, but it feels only like wasted time now. I'm in a strange place, no family here...I need everyone's support. Just keep reminding me that i'm doing what's best for me, and that i'm better off without him.

thank you.
