Happy New Years!
I'm here in Fremont visiting the family. Although a new year has started, I know I haven't updated in like forever. So I guess maybe some of you have been wondering, what the heck has Arlynne been up to?
After about two and a half years, I quit that burger joint called In-N-Out. I have an entry-level position at a school where I am a Career Services advisor. It's strange being on the other side of the education system, but I'm glad I get to deal with more professional people, than high school drama. I don't regret leaving In-N-Out, because with working full time, my life has changed. I feel more positive at work, I feel appreciated, and definitely, I'm advancing my career. After a year of searching to get my foot in the door, I finally got my shot. Now I actually feel like my parents have some respect for me.
I've purchased a new car. I sold my little Bubble to one of my friends, and am paying for my own car. At least this friend of mine can't quit about not being mobile anymore.
Allan and I are still together, in fact it will be our two year anniversary on the 16th. Recently we've had quite a few people give us the wedding spiel. Some of those people included my family. I do have baby fever, trying to get rid of it, but at least I'm more financially fit than I have been in the past few years. I couldn't have asked for a better man in my life that supports me.
My roommate situation is finally in harmony. The drama that has been going on has stopped due to open communication. My father has decided not to raise the rent, and well, I'm so glad that it worked out for the better. It seems like every year, I've had some mysterious car parked in front of the house. This year the car was vandalized.
I've hired key people in my business of financial services, and I'm going to take my life license test soon. I've set up my business plan so that in a few years I can purchase my own home.
My lesson for last year was: Sometimes it is difficult to change, but it is ultimately up to each individual person to make the change themselves, and to accept the good with the bad.
