The above video montage was created from some insanity that took place on Saturday night and is, in my estimation, totally awesome.
I’ve had a very, very happy month overall. I’ve loved being back home in Scottsdale. I’m sad about leaving.
I’m heading back to Seattle next week. I’ll leave Arizona around the 2nd and then stop in San Diego to hang with friends for a couple days, then do a leisurely drive up the coast to Seattle. I’m very nervous for my return. When I first came to Scottsdale a month ago, it took me a couple of days to find a rhythm. Those days were rough, scary. But in just a month, I’ve created a full-fledged life for myself here. It doesn’t feel like a vacation, adopted life — it feels like a full, complete life that I really enjoy living. I’m nervous to go back to Seattle, to say the least. But I guess the way too look at this is that I’m incredibly malleable in these situations. I have learned exactly what I need to do to build myself a functional, livable life no matter where I am. I don’t make excuses anymore. I just instinctively know what needs to be done and I can take the necessary action. That’s not who I used to be, trust me. It’s cool to witness that sort of growth. I know I’m going to be fine in Seattle, and there’s a lot I’m looking forward to getting back into out there. And, ya know, if after a couple months I’m still unhappy, I’ll just come the fuck back to Scottsdale and stay another month. I’m grateful to have that kind of flexibility.
Do you meet your readers if you are in their town or is that kind of crazy? Haha. I’m in san diego and I’d love to meet you. You are such an inspiration to women. =]
I am also very sad you are leaving. I could so cry about it, and as you know it is my PMS week, so I actually just might go do that now. Your video is rad and I love you, Em
Get in touch when you are in san diego so we can meet for lunch.
Hi Sasha! I have followed you for over two years now, through a move across the country, a marriage (and the subsequent divorce) and as a single mom here in San Diego. Your blogs have been a ray of light in my day, and I can’t wait until nighttime, when the kiddo goes to bed and I can catch up with your life. If you have some free time while you’re in San Diego, I would love to meet you for coffee or something. Just let me know!–Ashley
@Amanda @Ashley I’m sure we can work something out! Shoot me an email and maybe when we go out on Saturday night you guys can meet up with us! That would be fun!
@Diana Email me your phone #!
Ok, this might sound completely weird and random but when I first saw this post I totally freaked out!
The girl on the far right before you hit play on the video is my double! Scarily so, I was looking at it and thinking OMG when was that? Why is my picture on this blog? Who are those other people and where am I?
It took me easily 30 seconds to process the fact that it wasn’t me….should probably have clicked on sooner given that I’m reading this from Scotland but hey!
Just needed to share my complete astonishment! x
Random! Her name’s Lindsay and I’ve known her since we were little kids.
