Welcome

Hola! And welcome to my humble virtual abode.
Currently this blog looks... well not so spiffy. Wow. That word looks a lot weirder in writing. Okay. Anyways, right now this is a private blog. I don't know why, but it just feels good to put my thoughts somewhere, even if no one is reading them yet. Yay thoughts.
So rewind a few weeks. Dad just got news that he was going to lose his job on December 30, buuut he could apply for other jobs with his same company. Still scary.
Fast-forward a few weeks (but not as many as you backtracked) and we are casually eating dinner at Cheddar's when he gives us the news. Our lives are about to change. A lot. In fact, although I can't even imagine what our lives will be like in a year, I also wonder sometimes how different our lives will end up being in Virginia as opposed to staying in Wichita. That was a terrible formulated sentence. Sorry.
Anyways, yes, Virginia. After seven months of waiting anxiously, massive amounts of stress, crying, excitement, packing, filing through things, making plans, anticipating, and wondering, we will be there. Won't these been some fun months.
Things will be very different. And it would take me too long right now to explain all the things I am worried and anxious and excited and nervous about. Mostly I'm just going to miss people. A lot of people, many of whom have made a huge impact on my life in these past 16 (almost 17!) years. And many of whom I might never see again. Because this isn't just a two year long thing. Its basically forever. And who knows where time will lead us? Maybe I will stay there, maybe I will return to Wichita, maybe I will go somewhere else. It's weird thinking about your future when you have literally no clue where it will be.
This has been a jumbled mess.
Good thing it is only for my eyes. :)

Also- about the name. Fairly obvious. Combining Virginia and Kansas. I pretty much think I'm Dorothy. And although I'm technically not Virginian yet, I wanted something creative that had to do with me leaving. Because that's the main reason I made this blog. Yay blogs. And vlogs. And technology.

Okkkayy wow. I should probably stop now. My brain is too full for this.
