The one with all the sleep...

So I am pretty excited this is the start of my 10 day break from work! Some how I managed to swing a 10 day break when I have only worked their for about 2 and a half months (and I just took a whole week off at the beginning of December) but I did and I am going to enjoy every second of it! So to start my break, I am headed to Lufkin tomorrow for Christmas with my family, then back here for some R&R, then it will be 2011! Wow it seems like just yesterday the world was ending with Y2K, now here we are a decade later. But more on my year (or decade) in review next week. It's funny going home, you can't wait to move away but no matter what it's still your home. Everything is familiar and it's comfortable and it brings you back to your childhood no matter what your age. Just like no matter how old you get you still act like a bunch of 14 years old when you're with your brothers (or sisters, I don't have any just 3 big bros), arguing, wrestling, trying to annoy them...and so on. Although usually after about a day or two you are ready to get back to the new place you call home and continue your life there but that's the great thing about home no matter how far you go it will always be there waiting to embrace you when need it. Until next time, Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

The one where it all began...

Here I am on a Saturday night blogging for the first time while my boyfriend sleeps ever so peacefully in the bed behind me (not so peaceful for me, however, he is a snorer of the worst kind when he is in a real deep sleep. Well not the complete worst my mom and dad take the cake on that one). But anyways, back to me. I am 25 years old with a lot of changes going on in my life. I graduated college in May with a BS in Environmental Science, spent 2 weeks in Europe with my best friends, with only one of those two bf's am I still in communication with (well get to that later), fell in love, started a new job in which I know absolutely nothing about, and moved from a small town in deep east Texas to the middle of cajun country, Lafayette, Louisiana. That is a lot of change occurring in a short amount of time, especially for someone who has lived in the same town most of her life (with the exception of a year up in the DFW area and 4 months in Australia) and has spent the last two years chin deep in school work and studying to get the oh so important college education. Yes, that is a bit of bitterness you caught when I mention the college education, see a recession really isn't the best time to graduate. I have so much change going on and I want everyone I know and love to be able to keep up. See when you move and graduate and everything changes no one ever tells you how much work must go in to maintaining these long distance relationships, family, friends, old college classmates, etc.... Facebook, texting, and phone calls just doesn't seem to be enough to let all theses important people know what's going on in this busy little life of mine! Enter the blog. I hope to post atleast three times a week, I think that should be enough to keep everyone up to date with all my little adventures. Good night!
