It may seem strange to celebrate this, but...

September 5th, 2011 marks the 2 year anniversary of the day I moved in with my mate,
transfan1. It also marks the day I moved away from home and began the journey to become a more independent and responsible adult. All I can say is even though I had Stryker's guidance and love it has been one hell of a long ride so far. I learned a lot of important things: how to take care of bills and finances, how to recover after someone robs you (someone stole our car battery), how to properly care for my home (still working on that one, but I'm getting better) how to deal with roommates, and how to be a good friend.
I have said hello and goodbye to many wonderful people and some have even surprised me by coming back. Especially when I found out
farellemoon decided to come back after 2 years away. She left not long after I came in and it was a shame to see her go. I have to say it, but I love having her back, I needed some more girls to hang out with. No offense to my guy friends, but I have few girls to hang out with, so having one more always makes me feel good inside. *Hugs everyone*
Coming up on Saturday is the picnic and I pray that it's nice out, but good for fursuiting. I can't wait to be outside and just run around and be silly. So yeah get to see and meet a bunch of people and play some volleyball. I'll be sore forever.

Moving and staying out are the hardest part about being an adult sometimes.
Getting that run away reaction so that you can be independent because you are out, and out because you are independent is a very very hard one in this economy.
Living with someone is even that much harder at first. Heh My ex and I would fight like cat and dog the first couple weeks as we adjusted to each other (we went through this a few times, but that s another story) but once it settled down, it felt natural to be together.
Mates can make life that much easier despite their own challenges to the table. That person you know who is there to back you up, who you back up, is of invaluable importance. Even a good roommate/friend makes the entire process enjoyable. We humans are not meant to live alone.
*ahem* ramble off...
This isn't a silly thing to celebrate Turka, it's a VERY VERY important date :)
It's the day you not only got your independence, its the day you kept it!
Have fun at the meet! I'm working tomorrow, so won't be able to attend. :(
