happy anniversary to....

it just occurred to me.... i've had this blog running for one year exactly, to the day. so though i don't have anything to say, i couldn't let today pass without saying something.

this last year has been quite a trip ... chocked full of life and change, laughter and tears, confusion and frustration ... pretty much a little bit of everything. and what's messed up is that a year later, after so much, i'm in almost the same place as i was then with knowing what to do with my life. let's do a little recap...

a year ago i was contemplating change. so i went on a cruise, for vacation, but to also try to see it from an employee standpoint. i came back and basically quit my job to go to language school in Guatemala. while there learning Spanish i lost my job completely. then i sold my house and moved to Texas. i worked for a while, but didn't like it. my dad died. i moved in with my mom into a new house. just recently i spent three weeks in Europe. and today, i'm blogging about the last year in my pajamas on a Tuesday.

the only thing i can say is ... ... i survived. i grunted through the tough times and came out successful. and i learned things, in every way possible.

it would have been so much easier had i gone on vacation, gone to Guatemala to learn Spanish, and just come back to Colorado to continue working at OC. but, had it happened like that, this blog wouldn't have nearly as much text in it. :-)
