It was so much easier to keep up with my blog when I was unemployed. Now I am constantly working, going to meetings, volunteering and going out sometimes with friends.
My personal life has not been all sunshine and happy. I'm going through some difficult times and let me tell you, my friends are the best. They sit and listen to me moan and vent and some offer advice, some just let me be. Some tell me to shut up so I just don't talk to them for a few days or weeks. Haha.
I am excited that it is March and that means March Madness. I love my college basketball and have it on as I am typing away to you.
I see my friends having babies and I hope that is me one day. I always thought that I'd be planning on that in my late 20s but now I see it will be my early 30s. I love kids but I know what I want and need to bring a baby into this world. I would like to say Congratulations to all of my friends that do have a baby and I hope you and your families are doing well.
Back to me. I still love volunteering and I am loving my job. I do not enjoy working with all of the women I do and I have nicknamed three of them the Mean Girls. Why? Because they act like they are in middle school and are mean. They start so much drama it is not even funny. But I love my job. I don't know if they think I'm going to run because they mention all the time how they can't keep anyone in the position. Little do they know, I've been dealing with petty people like them my whole life and probably will until I die. They won't affect me anymore than the others and I will conquer and survive them. It's funny too because they start drama with people and then talk about each other behind their backs. Some friends.
I am excited that I will be going to Germany in May. Not my first time overseas but my first time in Germany. I am praying hard that I have a safe trip, especially since ya'll know I hate flying. I was hoping that I'd be going on this trip with the person who encouraged me to apply. I'm not but I'll be sure to bring back an awesome gift.
I'm making a goal again to lose weight and eat better. I've really been working out and although I've noticed a slight loss of weight, I'm hoping it turns into more because I made a bet that I plan on winning. I don't know what exactly will be bet but we will see.
I've really been expanding my friendships and one of my newer ones is really quite a surprise. We have a lot in common, not so much at the same time and I like to think we make each other better. It's a time in each of our lives where we need each other but I hope that we stay in each other's lives for a lifetime and not a reason or a season.
I have an adorable niece who I love and I wish I lived closer to her. I'm sure for as little as I get to see her, she knows that I love her. Once again, I can't wait for my own but that will be in a few more years.
I know I've been all over the place with this post but it was just a few things I had to get off of my chest. I hope I'll be back to writing more than what I have over the past few months. Here is to an amazing 2012 with lots of challenges and obstacles but I am a survivor and I'll overcome.
xoxo
