New Year...New Life

So, I have decided that 2009 is going to be an amazing adventure. I get the unique gift of literally starting over. I don't always view this as a gift, so give me 5 minutes and I am sure that I will have a totally different take on life (consider yourself lucky that you caught me in a good 30 seconds). I get a new home, a new job, a new cell phone (hey, it is the small things in life!), a new hobby, and a new adventure every day. Just a short 4 weeks ago, I thought I had my whole life figured out and there were very few HUGE surprises left.

Oh contrare!

I am learning to knit, people!! KNIT!!! I know, excitement at every turn! Sure I have traded my cute little 2007 Jetta for my mom's 1991 Volvo and I am now frantically looking for a couple of kids to rent and take to a soccer game because I now have the perfect car for it. And, of course, I have traded the life of the self-sufficient, employed person for a life that closely resmbles that of life of the characters in Failure To Launch (except they have jobs....hmmmm...I have to work on that one). All I need now is a visor and some stirrup stretch pants and I will have officially hit middle age!! I wonder if there are any places around here that have Bingo night....However, I have discovered that having mom around is rather convenient for a homecooked meal and clean clothes! There are days I wonder why I ever left the nest in the first place.

In all seriousness, my parents have been amazing to me and have been worth ALOT more than laundry and food. My mom has been an amazing person to talk to and my dad is the safe place that I have missed for the past 4 years. They have stopped at nothing to help me spiritually, physically, and emotionally. For the first time in years, I am feeling truly loved and wanted. It has been amazing and I hope everyone has parents as awesome as mine. I am almost hoping I never have to move out! :) I love being around my little brother every day. He is such an interesting little person full of fun.

Overall, I think that 2009 is going to be a promising year full of surprises and getting to know "Lindsay" again. If y'all are around Kuna, Idaho and want to hang out, just let me know. It is a pretty good bet that I will be here! :)

Happy New Year!!!!!
