I feel bad for ignoring this thing so much, I should get back to writing. I love reading my old entries, as stupid and childish as they were written, it was me then, and this is me now. So much has changed in the past few months, its kinda hard to put it all into words. I'm a different person, I'm better, I'm stronger.
This year I grew up..I feel like a adult, not just a big kid. I graduated.. I have a masters. It doesn't mean anything really, just two extra letters after my name. As someone at work said, what you learn in school will never matter, the degree just means you have the tolerance to get through a certain amount of years of studying, papers, and tests. That's exactly what it means.
I have a amazing job. I actually enjoy going into work. I enjoy being stressed, and I enjoy being damn proud of myself every month for accomplishing the unthinkable. At this same time, I make a difference in lives, a difference that actually matters. I love it.
Last month I turned 23...sure it's just a number, but damn did it change everything. My boyfriend and parents threw me the best surprise party, I was so shocked. My best friend flew in from LA, I got a actual person as my gift! Little did I know that it was a part of a grand mastermind scheme by the love of my life.
On our 3 year anniversary we spent an amazing day together in Capitola. Of course we had to go to shadowbrook, only the most romantic restaurant. It was a perfect day, we had good food, and finally spent some quality time together. I thought it couldn't get any better ... until the love of life got down on one knee, took my hand and asked those 4 amazing words, will you marry me. After the shock, after the tears, the hugs and kisses, he looked and said...so, did you ever say yes? hehe, I think somewhere in those tears there was a whispered yes.
Ever since then, life has been AMAZING. I love having it official, I love that he's no longer just a 'friend' in the eyes of my family. I love having all my relatives all over the world know about him, and I love having him be a part of my family.
Lets hope 2009 brings change to all the little things that need to be solved before I can start my own family =)
