One Year Later...

Today marks our 1-year Anniversary living where we reside now. Wow, how the time has flown. I kind of still feel like we just moved in.

GOD IS GREAT!!! ALL the time!!! YES HE IS!!! 

My very first kiss suggested a blog topic for me today. For your nosiness: We were in the 4th grade and it took place in a tree. His suggestion was, that I blog about myself from past to present.

Well, strangely before receiving his suggestion, I was considering all the places I've lived up until now. My very first apartment was located in Hawthorne, California. I was 18-years old and I allowed my cousin to live with me towards the end of my 1-year lease. From there, I wanted to do BIG "things" and applied for a  2-bedroom, 1 1/2 bath (with sauna indoors) apartment in Hollywood.  I was approved to move there.

On the morning that we were to move-in, I decided that I had made a mistake and wanted to opt-out of the rental agreement. For some reason it felt like I was about to endanger us by moving in that upscale apartment nor was I financially suited to comfortably handle the expected overhead. I ended up losing half of the move-in money behind "this" decision. My cousin had to find somewhere to live and I moved back home with my mother to regroup for while.

The next place I moved into was a rear bachelor home. Would you believe it was the childhood home of hip-hop superstar,  "The Game"? His mother was a former employer of mine who was kind enough to allow me to rent from her. He was a teenager at the time and I barely ever saw him at home, but I did drive his Peugeot a few times with his mother's permission.

I then moved to Lancaster, California with my first love from high school. We shared a 2-bedroom, 1 bath home, but I was hardly ever there. I couldn't stay away from Los Angeles and after a short while, I realized that it was better for me to move back to the "big city" so I did.
