A New Year, A New Town, A New Job, An Old House, A Fresh Start

‎"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." -Unknown

2011 is a year of changes for C and I.  We will be leaving our lives in Pittsburgh where he has spent 34 and I have spent the last 10.5 and moving back to the area where I grew up.  Why? My Gram passed away on 9-7-10 and we were offered the opportunity to live in her house for a few years and eventually buy it if the spirit moves us, or if fortune shines down upon us and adds some extra money in our pockets, we just might:)


Since getting married on 8-29-2009, we have had our share of obstacles, but this blog is to chronicle the fresh start we so desperately need in so many ways.  We will be recreating ourselves in a new town, making new friends, and hopefully giving our relationship an overhaul.  It will be an adjustment for both of us, but maybe things will change for the better!

Small Town lyrics

Well I was born in a small town

And I live in a small town

Prob'ly die in a small town

Oh, those small communities

All my friends are so small town

My parents live in the same small town

My job is so small town

Provides little opportunity

Educated in a small town

Taught to fear Jesus in a small town

Used to daydream in that small town

Another born romantic that's me

But I've seen it all in a small town

Had myself a ball in a small town

Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town

Now she's small town just like me

No I cannot forget where it is that I come from

I cannot forget the people who love me

Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town

And people let me be just what I want to be

Got nothing against a big town

Still hayseed enough to say

Look who's in the big town

But my bed is in a small town

Oh, and that's good enough for me

Well I was born in a small town

And I can breathe in a small town

Gonna die in this small town

And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me
