So, I finally have a found a few moments where I can sit down, reflect, and catch you all up on the latest fun adventure of my life! which is.....WORK! haha. Yeah, I knew it sounded exciting for everyone :o)
Really though, that is ALL I have been doing. By the time this month is over I will have only had 3 days off. I knew I would be busy and that things would be a rough start from the beginning of this new journey however, I did not realize that I was walking into "You no longer have a life outside of work!" land. I'm excited still, I'm stressed, I'm exhausted, and I'm still admittedly nervous. It is a ton to handle and I can no longer keep my days straight. My birthday was February 1st, Valentines day came and went, my moms birthday was last week, and it all passed by like another day. I am still working on trying to get time out during my days getting myself situated out here with health insurance, taxes, and all the blah blah blah of moving states and it is not going as well as I hoped it would, but it will all get worked out eventually! Needless to say, I am still getting myself adjusted to being back and working through yet another major change of direction in my life!!
Since being back, I have not really taken any pictures or gotten my camera out thus no pictures on this blog to show off. Next Blog, I hope to have a ton! I am getting ready for some great opportunities to design projects/kitchens through work and I fully intend on getting the before and after pictures up so everyone can really see what it is I do for a living and why I have chosen to put myself out there in this career field and go after my dream. Its going to be one hell of a ride thats for sure! Oh, and I have not forgotten about my photography either...I have a few photography opportunities lined up as well. Things are looking up and I am stoked! .....as well as terrified with all that I need to do and hardly the time to do it, but hey.....I signed up for it all so my only option is to make it work to the best of my ability because this is just the start of where I wanted to be for a long time!
I have had a few emotional moments I will admit during this month of being back to Colorado...I miss my friend Vicki and her family back in Indiana a TON! I miss my best friend Ashley who is in Charleston a TON! and it is so crazy being back here without her here with me! and its been rough not having my own place/apartment to go home to since I have been so used to having this luxury for awhile now. I have made myself brush these thoughts out of my head in order to keep my head up and for the most part its been ok and I have managed to handle it well...or have I?? hahaha basically, I have no way of changing any of these things at the current moment so I cannot dwell on them and I have to stay focused at the goal at hand. Luckily work is almost always taking up my the capacity of my brain thus leaving less space to think about these other things. Now...don't get me wrong, being a woman we think about 10,000 things at once so every little thought is always there somewhere just waiting to pop up at just the right moment! that moment is almost always when I have laid down to get some shut eye after an exhausting day, but then cant cause my brain has to remind me of all the extra stuff I neglected to think about during that day! Lovely huh? speaking of which, its my bedtime so let the fun begin!
This last week in February was a great ending to the month I must say and I made it thru without going too nuts given my crazy schedule. John and I were able to spend some good quality time together and its weekends like this past one that make me sit back and just...smile :o) He has been extremely understanding, patient, supportive, and most of all encouraging! Thanks Babe!
I am going to take a brief second to mention that a person dear to me and a mother to my best friend, is currently getting ready to undergo chemo/radiation. Though she is a strong individual with a huge heart, those who can relate to these situations know that it is not easy regardless of who you may be to fight such a battle. Any good thoughts and prayers sent her way is greatly appreciated. She has a great support system and all of us will be right there with her every step of the way! We are all staying positive and are looking at the outcome to be a successful one!
So this is it...this is all I have for the month of February. Thanks for tuning into my adventures and there will definitely be more to come!
