New Beginnings
lets see. since the last entry, we got married on our 10th anniversary like we planned. we actually went thru with a church wedding to make the parents happy. it was small .... and we had a backyard boogie. we had loads of fun and are just happy we finally got it out of the way.
i decided to throw my hat in for an Analyst job at work... and i got it! i'm excited to do something new and different. the pay is good too. i'll be getting paid as much as a manager without the responsibility. I also finally got to move to the Long Beach Office which is the office i always wanted because it is so much closer to home. in fact, my commute is finally only 15 minutes. I have time to see my zoo now. instead of being too exhausted to even go out side.
we finally got another car for Jesse. I finished paying off my Jeep last year, and this year we got a 2015 Nissan Altima for Jesse to drive. i feel better knowing he's in a safe car that wont leave him stranded. And i wanted my Jeep back LOL
I'm excited for the future. I dont know if we will have kids... we are both coming to terms with the fact that it may never happen. but adoption has always been an option for us.
its good to write out my thoughts again. i need more practice. i'm not good at actually writing, but typing on a computer was always a silent solace for me. hearing the clicks of the keyboard has always given me a warm comfort. although before, my journal entries were usually at 2 or 3 am at home, where i felt most alone and miserable. i am in a different state now. i am content, surrounded by love, and safe in my own home. currently i am sitting in my kitchen table, on my laptop, door open to allow the cool breeze that i waited all day for. it is also 10pm now... and i need to sleep to wake for tomorrows big day. my first day at my new job. but right now, in this moment, i have the clicks of the keyboard, and the sounds of my snoring dogs.
my life has improved in so many ways. i am excited for the future.. and ready for the challenges.
i have become a bit more selfish in my pursuits. I dont really get involved with others lives as much anymore. I keep to myself mostly and focus on creating a positive life. with my little family. my 5 dogs, 7 cats, and endless birds. and the turtle of course.
love,
anna
