My update...
...okay, so I haven't updated in forever. Mostly because it seemed as if I was only posting about bad things that happen. So, in summary, after another car accident; having things stolen by the "repair men"; my apartment not being fully repaired; my best friend's doggie (who I loved like he was my own) dying; my kitchen faucet flying off and spraying water everywhere; I’m finally getting settled back into my apartment. Oh and I gave my beagle to my dad - so it’s just me and my dog, Flex.
Anyway, yesterday I started a new job. I’m quite excited about it, too. It’s more money, better benefits, I don’t have to pay for parking, they pay more into my retirement, and best of all there’s a lot of room for advancement here (unlike my last company). I was at my last job for 3 ½ years and, while that’s not necessarily a long time, I just felt I would never move past the “level” I was at. So, I’m excited at the opportunities that I hope to have at this new company.
Last weekend was my nephew’s baptism. It was nice to see the family. My sister-in-law’s mother, grandmother, and brother flew here for the occasion (her dad couldn’t make it, but will be here for Christmas). My nephew is 9 months old and is so cute. He has the best smile - he makes me smile just looking at him.
I’m also looking forward to Christmas this year. Last year I wasn’t. It’s going to be exciting having so many people to celebrate Christmas with. Plus, I took the week off (we’re already off for three of the days, so I’m really only taking off two days) between Christmas and New Year’s. I’m spending that time with my niece and nephew (the 6 year-old, not the 9 month-old). I’m going to take them to Disney’s Finding Nemo on Ice, Legoland, and to see Narnia. That Friday we’re all going to Sea World for my niece’s 8th birthday (her birthday is actually New Year’s Eve).
I’m really looking forward to the upcoming year and hoping things will, at least, be better than this past year.
