i was just looking through old posts from a year ago, wanted to see what has changed. turns out not much.
i have now been responsible for OTC ordering and returns at work for a full year. it is going pretty well and i think people are pleased with my work. plus i am now nationally certified so can work anywhere in the country.
my relationship with paul is great. he is definitely the guy i want to marry and he is starting to feel the same way about me. i don't know. it hurts that he still has any doubts at all, but we are planning our future together and i don't think he'd be doing that unless he was pretty darn sure it was going to happen.
a year ago i met paul's parents. i was really nervous but they ended up liking me and inviting me out last summer and sending me ecards all the time. its great.
last new years i spent happily in paul's arms. this year i was alone and asleep by 11. i miss him a lot, but it's not the end of the world. and i am actually really happy about how ok i am with him gone. felicia is hardly ever around so it's been a lot of me time and i am not only coping with it, but actually enjoying it. makes me more confident about when we move because i will have more alone time there if paul ever travels for work or anything.
oh and another great thing i did this year- i now brush and floss twice a day. unfortunately i was like the typical schizophrenic and terrible at doing this in the past. i faced the fire and paid thousands in dental bills but now my teeth and gums are healthy- almost back to average, and i feel great about it.
.
every year i just make 1 resolution. to be in a different place next year. i didn't actually want to be in a different place last year that much because, as i said in my old post, my life rocks. but i think i have really matured in the last year. i am stronger emotionally, more independent, better at my job, braver, more in love, healthier, etc. this year is much the same, i love my life and don't feel a desperate need to change like i used to. however, by next year i plan to have physically changed places. this is going to take a huge burst of energy, confidence, and strength. but i feel up to it. plus paul and i will be engaged and living together by this time next year. i am very excited about this. so i guess my new years resolution this year will be very easy to keep- i will definitely be in a different place by next year.
