8th. Nobody wanted to take a guess? I thought it would have been fun. Oh well, I tried. The two reasons I like the 8th are because it's my anniversary and it's my date to start my job in Brookings. Yay me.

Life has been extremely stressful lately, more like many months, but more so lately. I'm just glad the day is finally coming when I will be closer to my kids, my home, and back in my hometown where I am so much more familiar with everything.

I do have many challenges ahead of me. Coming to Brookings doesn't mean things will be easy. I know this. But I am ready to hit them head on and get some normalcy back into my life.
