Living so far from home has given me a chance to reflect on myself, my choices and my mistakes. It's been an adventure but I cannot help but think of the things I have done and the results that have come from my choices. Not all are bad but today my thoughts were with my family and their importance. As a result I am writing this blog to share with you all how I feel.
If I were to go back I cannot say I would change anything. I learn from my actions and I am grateful for everything I have experienced. However I would like to have been more open with you all. Now I live so far away and it makes it a little harder but it is never to later to tell you all how much I love and miss you.
After Ashley posted a blog about me with the Dave Matthews Song I thought it was time I said something. I am really looking forward to seeing you at Christmas. I told Mom I did not care about getting anything to unwrap I just want to be home for a while.
I felt the same way when I was in Hawaii but I had Ashley there and she made all the difference in the world. Now I am here and although I am meeting people it is hard to fill the void with damn Yankee's. I meet a lot of superficial people and do to my career I meet a lot of people who assume I have nothing more to talk about than fashion and gossip. It is exhausting making friends rather than fun and interesting like in the past.
Hopefully I will be able to find a few hobbies around town and meet people with similar interest. If only I had that kind of time. I cannot complain to much though, I was warned before I came that I would not make a lot of friends and to not expect to date at all. It makes more sense every day.
I will not make this too long. I just really want you to all know how much I love you and how this would not have been possible without your support. Also, I cannot thank Mom and Dad for the tremendous amount of help they have given me since I arrived.
Again, I love you all and you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

We love you too, Chelsey!!!! And we love who you are, who you've been, and who you will become. Love you most!
I love you more! I miss you very much but I know you have your life to find. I am proud of all you have done. You are a very special spirit and I know you will have success in what you set out to do. This is another one of those "life lessons" I preach about and you will learn so much. Make the most of your adventures and know we are all here missing you and wishing you well. You are always in my prayers! I love you baby, Mom
Hey sweetie, I ran into your brother the other day and we were talking about everything that you are accomplishing over there. You've got a great head on your shoulders and a great family cheering you along. Good luck with everything hun! :)
You know that if you get lonely, you can always call me, because I'm 5 hours behind you. I'll be up when everyone else you know in the world is asleep! You can also call me when I'm supposed to be asleep too though!
