I havent posted forever. Life has been incredibly busy over the past few months and I still read and check LJ most every day, I just never feel like I have much to say but really alot has happened since my last update. So where to start....
Work is really starting to get moving, I'm not getting many clients yet but alot of the administrative work is all done and that's really the part I need to get done to focus on everything....for the few on here who don't know, I'm a mortgage broker now so if you know anyone that needs a mortgage, contact me and I'll get you my phone information! lol....hawking myself on LJ...awesome
I won a bunch of money playing online poker over the last couple months. That's been a bit of a godsend because its afforded me the time to get things going with work (which is all commission) and made life much easier through the upcoming Christmas season. I made my one big personal purchase last week and got a new 42 inch TV...yay, no more tube TV. Paid off a credit card completely which was nice and paid down some other loans.
On the topic of Christmas, this year will be a little strange considering my grandpa passed away in late July. Since I can remember we always spent christmas eve at his house (my grandma passed away in 90) So this year its all about starting new traditions and it's going to be a bit of a sombre experience but at the same time it will be nice to get with the family and remember my grandpa this year and move forward to the future.
My personal life has had quite the year to be honest. In my last post I talked about a girl I had been dating and it had broken off. Well we have since reconnected and started talking again and things are at a good place right now. We are not together at the moment but we are very close and the possibility does exist of a future together. I learned alot about myself when I was with her before and I think we actually needed to go through this to find out if our feelings and love for each other could survive the circumstances we are surrounded with. Right now, I'm just helping her through a tough situation and we will see what the future holds but I'm just happy for now that I didn't lose someone who is a very good friend and I have been close with for the last six years. We've had some really good times together lately and for now it's just a day to day to see where our road will lead.
I actually went out to her house today and we had a "mini grey cup" party with her kids (who couldnt care less about football, lol) but it was fun. We made wings and nachos and just had a really good time, then we watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall( which for the record, I love). We've had some really honest conversations over the past week and I do hope that we can have something but that something will not be something we can commit to for the next little while. All we can really do is enjoy any time we do get together.
We also went to a couple Flames games over the past few weeks. I won tickets on Pokerstars for the colorado game last tuesday and it was soooo much fun. We got a catered dinner before the game and free drinks. Talked to the president of the team and then after the game we got autographed Kiprusoff framed pictures.
All in all , life is pretty good right now. The upcoming new year is filled with lots of exciting new challenges and some new hopes and dreams.
I do have a friend who's went a little MIA on me and I miss her. I hope she knows I still want to keep in contact and I hope to catch up with her soon :) If you read this you should really send me an email to my foofighter account and let me know how things are!
