Well, here we go...
I work hard at my job, which I like some of the time...lol! I am assistant to a vp, and am basically an assistant to about 6 managers as well. I run reports and work on special projects all day long, but it makes the day go fast because I get so engrossed in my work. I just wish it had more to do with my major...
I'm done with my first semester back in college and passed everything! WOOHOO! I'm still in for this semester, and will graduate in May of 2009 with my BS in Accounting (probably an audit concentration)...although I had to cut back to 9 hours because of my surgery...
Which brings me to...I had surgery on my arm recently and now I'm doing physical therapy to get back my range of motion. Basically, anyone who knows me realizes I've always had problems with my wrist. It turns out that one of the bones in my arm was too long, so they cut out a chunk and moved back the rest of the bone away from my hand...then went in and repaired the cartilage that was damaged by the bones rubbing where they weren't supposed to in my wrist.
I think the biggest news in my life is my amazing boyfriend, Nick. He supports me and believes in me like no one ever has, puts up with me when I get emotional from stress, and loves me just as much as I love him. It feels so good to know I've found the one man who will always make me happy! His family is great, too, although a little crazy at times! His dad is hilarious and you never know what he's going to say...his mom is so sweet and thoughtful and always wants what's best for everyone even if they don't like it...his sister is a firecracker and a blast to hang out with...his nephew is just as nuts as the rest, and you can definitely tell Nick helped raise him because he is a major smartass!
So overall, I'm actually very happy with my life for the first time...well, ever. I love myself, and if you've known me long, you know that was a major problem for me in the past. I've learned to let go of a lot of things people have said and done that broke my spirit to the point I thought it could never be repaired. I'm slowly forgiving, and learning my own value and how to truly be myself. It's a slow process, but other than just every now and then (like hardly ever) I know I'm a good person and that I deserve the best the world has to offer. And...I have a big chunk of that sitting right next to me as I write this. I love you Nick, with all my heart baby. It's been over a year...longer than I've been with anyone, and I have more faith in us every day, and in you, and myself. Thank you for everything.
I just want to say thank you to all of my friends that have stuck by me through everything. I now wake up thanking God every day for where my life is, and for the people I have around...and especially for Nick.
When you feel like the whole world is against you...you might be right...but sometimes it only takes the faith and support of one person to strengthen you enough to throw the world for a loop and show everyone what you're capable of...
