The Dog Days Are Over..

I'm back! After almost 8 months of silence, I'm back to my blogging days. I've attempted to revamp the look of my page, and have successfully renamed my site and it feels good to be back in the game :).

I hope that you all were able to watch the video that I posted, my friend Morgan introduced it to me the other day and I almost died watching that little boy dance to such an amazing song. If only we all danced like that :).

A lot has happened since my last blogging adventure. I now know the meaning of "what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger!" I've successfully made it through possibly the hardest 4 months of my life. A lot got dumped onto my plate all at one time, and without the help of my amazing friends and family I don't know what I would have done. But as of lately I have begun to see the good in the situation and have began to have a new outlook on things, hence the title of this post. I'm trying to have a new outlook for this year. New Year, New Memories. My sister asked me a couple months ago when I was in the heat of everything going on what year I would relive if I could. I quickly answered 2010. While it ended in a really awful, the majority of the year was amazing. I learned a great deal about myself, I was the happiest that I think that I have ever been and I accomplished a lot. But I'm looking forward to the year that I have ahead of me. I am not at all where I thought that I would be right now, but I'm embracing it and learning a lot about myself in the meantime. I'm excited for what this year has ahead of me.

So what actually has happened since Spring of 2010:
#1: I enrolled and began Grad school, every Monday at 6 pm I wonder to myself what I was thinking..but I'm sticking with it..more education never killed anyone :)
#2. I moved out of my townhouse, and bought my own little house in a super cute historic part of Independence. I am now a pro at painting ANYTHING and am having a blast decorating and making it my own.
#3. Did I mention I'm living alone? So far, I haven't freaked myself out too badly...but there is still plenty of time..
#4. I've discovered that I can accomplish more by myself than I ever gave myself credit for.
#5. I've traveled to Boston with Em. I needed to get out of town and Em never turns down a trip, we were able to visit two of our good friends Dave and Brandon, and we spent the whole weekend eating...can't complain about that!


Till next time friends...
