I can't believe that it has been almost a year since I last posted. It seems that all of my posts seem to begin with that realization. I'm not ready to be done with this journal but no longer have the need to use it on a regular basis. I don't seem to live and die with every moment and every small situation is not quite the crisis that I used to imagine. I don't recall ever actually feeling that way back when I posted regularly but looking back it feels that way. Perhaps that is what happens when you grow up a bit or when the things that you want most in life surround you on a daily basis. It is apparently contentment, in a word, that keeps me from needing to post regularly. That is not to say that there are not many things to post about. I just got another promotion and I start on Monday. I just realized how comfortable I have become with my job and coworkers as I am moving to another department. I hope that it turns out to be a good choice. New adventures are always a little bit scary. I'm not especially fond of being outside my comfort zone. But, becoming comfortable in new surroundings in a process that takes time. Fortunately I'll just be across the hall from my old digs so that will make the transition a little easier.
Jon is doing well at his job as well. He is good, dogs are good, family is good. Christmas is around the corner and I'm looking forward to the break. Not only will it be a short break from work but also from school. I have one easy semester to go and then I graduate. I will be graduating on the same day as my sister which is really odd when I think about it. I'm still holding strong with that 4.0 and as far as I know am the only full-time student and full-time worker who will be graduating in 4 semesters with a 4.0. It makes me quite proud.
Seeing how frequently I've posted over the past year, I doubt very much that I will post again before the new year. I hope that it is a productive and happy year and that I can look back on this post and not be disappointed. Merry upcoming Christmas and God bless you all!
