Lately I feel really, really happy.

If you’ve read this place for a while you know last Fall was… tough. Really tough. I put a smile on my face and got through it telling myself that it could only get better from there. And it did. 

So many fun things are on the schedule. From wine nights and planning our housewarming to Mardi Gras and family visits, the calendar is quickly filling up with things to look forward to in 2012.

I love my job. Love it. I’m rocking it and getting recognition and awesome opportunities and doors are opening faster than I thought they would and for the first time in a really long time, I love getting up and going to work each day. And that? That is an awesome feeling. 

My money issues (hello broke 20something) are finally FINALLY getting under control. Hello, relief. 

Our apartment is so cute. And cozy. And I look forward to going home and making dinners with Megos and hanging out on the couch watching tv and just relaxing without crazy neighbors and music blasting at all hours.

And I don’t even hate that I’m hopelessly single with zero prospects at the moment. (not kidding, there is not a soul in sight). And that’s okay. Because I’m having fun by myself and with my friends and doing me and I know it will happen when it’s supposed to happen and it will be worth the wait.

So today I’m stopping to smell the roses, letting myself be happy because, finally, things have turned around. And it can only get better from here.
