I submitted "Self Righteously Lonely" exactly one year ago. It's odd, because it seems like yesterday, and yet quite a bit has happened since then.

A woman who turned into perhaps my closest friend other than my fiance, moved away. My fiance and I traveled to Tennessee to see her and her husband, a friend from high school. That led to the decision for James and I to move out of my parent's house and get our own place. Now, at the end of the month, we're moving again. I finished my student teaching and got a job, and believe me, that was a real hurdle. Also, I thought I was going to become a mother, and I feel like it's time.. but who knows?

I'm still lonely.. but things are getting better.
