Hello friends! Have any of you even been following this?? Dang... it's been over 6 months since I've written a blog. And I don't even know what to report!!
Welp ... I turned 25 (in October). It didn't feel special, but now that 26 is on the horizon, I'm starting to freak out. Never before did I not WANT to get older. I am really torn between wanting to be all growed up and adult-like and being young and stupid. Sigh.
I got promoted in December! Well.. sorta. I got "hired on" and I am no longer a contractor. Thank the Lord. A very positive change.
Winter has been super mild here. Yeah we got some snow here and there and it was pretty cold for a while. But honestly, it was a cakewalk compared to last year. I'm just hoping to have a spring. And summer!! Oh man, I am sooo looking forward to brats on the grill, bags games, sunshine and street festivals! (Maybe I can find that guy who made wire jewelry and I can get him to make me a new black onyx ring! I lost it somewheres and it was a huge bummer. LOVED that ring! Oh - also looking forward to enjoying a beer on the patio!
Humm.. what else? I resigned my lease with Elise. Another year of craziness. =)
The holidays were pretty good. The family bought me a plane ticket to come home over Thanksgiving. (Sooo blessed!) which was amazing. I got to spend almost two weeks at home for Christmas too. I did a little bit of running around - went to Virigina to visit Andy with Bill and Boober. It was only one day really that we got to spend together, however it was fantastic. Those three just know me more than anyone else on earth. I just LOVE them.
I also got to spend a ton of time with the family and Sara and Kristy. NYE was a hot mess! Sara has a ton of incriminating photos posted all over facebook. (This is what I mean about being young and carefree - just love every minute of it.)
Holy moly - several paragraphs in and haven't mentioned Justin yet! He's doing well - just rolled off his busy season. For three weeks in January, he was in Sandusky, Ohio from Monday-Friday. That wasn't a very fun month! The holiday season is always tough and we don't get a ton of time. December 15th we celebrated our whopping 2-year anniversary! Yeah, it's been that long!
Lately, everything has been quite standard. Nothing exciting to talk about. I've been reading a bit - The Hobbit, Have A Little Faith and working on The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. I still have the Lost Symbol to read. Neither Marley or Justin were quite impressed, so I'm not super eager to get on it.
Well - that's all I've got for today. Until next time...
