Blog-worthy Material

So, it's been close to a year since I've written something in this blog of mine. Since it's been so long, I suppose it's time to give this thing a whirl again. Well, that and there are multiple people in my life (a.k.a. my dearest friends) who keep bugging me to update this darn thing already. I guess I don't blame them. The last post was in February 2008 and considering the fact that it'll be February 2009 in 3 months...I think it's time. So here goes... I'll try to keep light and summarize the oohs, aahs and yays and nays.

Where to begin... Oh, so I made it through my first year at the new job. That's right, I made it a whole year and then some (even with all of the tears...literally). I'm glad I toughed it out, though. Apparently things do happen for a reason. I couldn't be happier with where I'm at and I'm not going anywhere! Well, unless something more enticing comes along, then I shall see. ;) But really, I like what I do. After all of the, "omg, what am I going to do with my life" panic ridden moments, I think I've found a keeper.

And then to one of my biggest highlights of the year and really just a goal of mine...I am officially a homeowner! That's right, I have moved and I have moved to the place I fell in love with from day 1. I didn't think it would happen, but believe me, it wasn't walk in the park...there was a lot of worry and crying involved. And you know what, the best part is the fact that I wouldn't trade it for the world. This is the biggest thing that I've done and more importantly, the biggest thing that I've done for myself that I can cross off that 5 year plan of mine. It's still scary, but it's an amazingly good scary. So, if you're ever in the Downtown Long Beach area, holler! :)

This has just been an amazing year. I can go on and on about it. For all of my ups, I know I've had my share of downs, but it's hard to see it and you know, I'm happy that I am not dwelling on the negativity. I can honestly say that I've grown up. I've learned so much about myself with what I want in life and who I am as a person. It's an unbelievable feeling. And I'm not the only one growing up. It's crazy to see how everyone else around me is doing everything they want and then some. I love it and everything about it.

But don't you worry, this isn't the last of it. It's only the beginning.

'Til next time!
