Jenny.
Have a wonderful flight and remember that your honey is there to comfort you through this tough transition. Use him to cuddle with. Your loved ones are always with you in your heart. I know that when my sis moved away it was really hard. Even though we are hours away and rarely see eachother she is always with me ![]() Your a strong beautiful flower that is ready to bloom and move on to a new chapter. You are lucky to have a loving partner by your side to do this with. Be safe and contact us when your set up. We all love you ![]() Big Jenny. xox |

I've said this many times ... it's like watching a family member grow up and experience many things. Now we have our young beautiful Jenny moving away. Sad and happy at the same time. Have a wonderful and safe flight.

Hey guys! I'm off to cardio in a few mins. I'm skipping a free continental breakfast this morning which is especially catered for the international students. Was thinking of going but had PMS cramps all night and didn't want to stress this morning, so I'll take my time, do my cardio and go to the next thing on the schedule. It's different to live with roomates, I don't feel totally comfortable with it yet. Justin stayed here in my apartment up until Sunday since none of my roomies had arrived. It takes some getting used to not being with him 24/7. I really miss him
We've really been together all the time this past summer and I have just loved it. We're closer than ever and I feel like I'm more in love than ever.My roomates are three party animals They were bustin up the margarita mix (23g of sugar per serving) and the tequila last night. I went to bed with the excuse of having a long day today, which I will have. They're all very sweet, but the partying will be challanging. I won't drink as they do (or eat for that matter, they've got a quesadilla (sp?) maker instead of a foreman ), not as often and not the sugary stuff. JMU is a party school, this I've learnt now. It's a great school too though, and I'm going to make the best of the academics as well as the social life (minus drinking too much). Roomie no 1 have already made remarks about what food I have and if necessary I need to sit them down and give them the "this is why I eat healthy" talk and ask them to just accept it. I'll dance around the subject a little longer though to see if that'll work.Wow, it feels weird to be in the same time zone as you guys. If I would write at 7am in Sweden I could be guaranteed not to have anyone read it right away, maybe not now ![]() I'm having mega troubles getting a cell phone here. I'm thinking Verizon since it has the best coverage here (T-mobile sucks around here). I need a SSN though and I won't get my temporary one until at least a month... :grrr: Justin wants to sign up for me, but he can't prove good credit since he's never had a credit card. So, I might have to have his mom sign up for me, which feels a bit weird. She's such a sweetie though so she probably wouldn't mind. Alright, cardio time Will upload a pic or two soon. |

Oh and my eating and workouts have been good ever since I arrived. Had many junk food opportunities, but I'm not into that
I eat a little too little I'm quite sure, but I'm working on it. My abs are looking fab these days, I love it ![]() |

Hey Jen. I'm glad you arrived safely! This is so exciting for you. How far away is Justin staying? I'm about to get a verizon phone plan too, I think we can talk for free with that
When do classes start? |

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Hey hottie!
Welcome! ![]() Glad to hear that all is well w/ you! I've got a Sprint cell. It's ok. I think ALL cell phones suck. Instead of adding more gadgets, they ought to work on friggin' reception quality! Credit cards suck. They are evil things. I have a check / debit card adn have been able to get all things done with that. |

Hey Honey!! Welcome to the US!!
It does feel weird having you here..BUT A GOOD WIERD!! Your picture of you and Justin just made me SMILE!!! I'm so happy for you two. Don't worry about your roommates just yet--Hopefully they will just get use to your eating ways. I do understand though--people at work are already giving me a hard time. Oh well. Have fun with your new roomies in other types of ways other than partying. Yep College is a big party...but what they don't realize is they will regret partying soooo much later in life. I know I regret it..I DID HAVE FUN...but could have done a little less partying and a little more studying ![]() Hugs to you..welcome & take care!!! BTW- YOU LOOK AWESOME IN YOUR PICS!! ![]() |

Hey guys! I'm being such a stranger! Still doing well, still trying to adjust to my living situation. Went partying with the girls Thursday and played my first game of beer pong. I sucked
Yesterday we had a dinner here and Jane cooked Chicken Alfredo pasta for us all. I felt like I had to eat it. Usually I don't in social situations, I've made it through all the International Student lunches and dinners. But this would have been so hard to say no to. So I decided to make it a cheat. After dinner I ditched my roomies and rented a dvd with Justin. We got some Reeses and some Lindt chocolate, but I just couldn't eat it. Too sweet and nasty, I don't like chocolate anymore It felt good to get out of my apartment for the night!Have been laying by the pool some, working out quite a bit. Eating a little too little some days, so I guess the cheat meal was probably good in order to keep my metabolism kicking. Am going to go do cardio soon. My roomies are sleeping now (I just got back) and they'll probably sleep laaate. Which is fine by me! I think I do need to have a talk.. Explaining that I won't necessarily live the same way they do and that I hope they can just accept that. One day this week when I told Jane I might sleep at Justin's place she said "well just don't do it too often cause we REALLY don't like that". In a "girls come first" type of way. I don't even friggin know her and the girls yet! That made me pissed, though I did hide it. I'm so exhausted right now when it comes to meeting new people. I've been meeting about 20 new persons everyday and I just feel like going out to the woods and sit on a pole for a while or something I need to get a mountainbike so I can start biking in the pretty nature here. For now the threadmill will have to do, I'm off to work out hard!! |
