Fighting Isolation

I'm moving to Birmingham, AL in 7 days with my wonderful boyfriend of almost two years. He got into Samford McWhorter School of Pharmacy and will have his Ph.D in 4 years. I'm really excited for him and happy that he is going to be living his dream. I know that he has wanted to be a pharmacist for years. I am so proud of him.

Oh the other hand, I'm moving away from everyone I know. I've done that before (when I moved from KY to FL) and I know how hard it is to just be together and not have any outside friends. I have posted an ad on CraigsList that's just seeking new friends & hopefully I'll make a lot of friends that way. I don't have to worry about him. He'll make plenty of friends thru school, and he already knows one person who is going to start at the school the same time as him.

She even lives in the same apartment complex that we'll be moving into. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I am glad he knows someone already so that he'll have someone other than me to talk to and hang out with. And someone to study with. At the same time, I'm kind of worried about it. I trust him. I mean, it doesn't bother me that he has a MySpace, Facebook, and a few email addresses and talks to people on them without me knowing the password for them.

It's just that I have been cheated on before. I was married to the guy and he had an affair with my best friend. With Eric, we have been together almost two years and he's never given me any reason not to trust him. I'm just afraid that she'll end up falling for him. He's such a great man and I feel like if anyone gets too close to him and really gets to know him, they will fall for him. I guess it's just my own insecurities that are making me feel like this, and I'm trying to not let them show, but it's getting harder the closer we get to the move. Hopefully, it will subside once we move in and I meet her.

As for me, I've lived in several places, away from family, before and I know I'll be okay as long as I find some good people to go out with on occasion. I've started talking to two people online that live in Birmingham and so far, they seem like decent people. The girl I'm talking to is even trying to get me a job where she works. It's only part time, but I can work from home if I want. It's a recruiting job for an insurance agency. I'll be going thru resumes for new insurance agents and calling them to schedule appointments for interviews. She said she can pretty much guarantee me the job as long as I don't have a criminal record, which I don't.

I'll be writing on here as much as I can. Once we get moved, it might take me a few days to update. It all depends on when our Internet is set up there. If nothing else, I can go to the clubhouse and use my laptop to update.

Leave me lots of comments guys. I'll return the favor as soon as I can.
