Turn of the Decade

I figured, why make a super long FB status when I can just write on my blog?

Bruh, that is genius.

....And I hope it won't be that long.

Professionally, it has been an interesting year. I left my job that I had held for 3.5 years for another opportunity to work on government contract roles. Come to find out six months in, we would soon be losing the contract. Screwed, I decided to start looking again after just going through a job search six months earlier. I freshened up my resume, had two interviews in two weeks and accepted an offer I couldn't refuse. I'm now working in a creative digital space, which is new for me, but I've found myself a happy home.

Personally, my highlights include:

• Introducing my nephew, Theodore (or as my mom says Theodorable), into our crazy family.

• First full year being a homeowner. And I've yet to make a late payment.

• Vacations to sunny places including Vegas in January for one of my friend's 30th birthday, Arizona in the spring and LA for a friend's wedding in September.

• Discovering alternative methods to heal my body including acupuncture, cupping and still sticking with chiropractic care for knee pain.

What does next year hold? (Or need resolving, or whatever):

• Going to New York (sorry Boston, just a long wedding weekend for us).

• Running a lot. Thanks, Brittany Runs a Marathon for the inspiration again. Although probably not a marathon, TBH.

• Planning on networking more and getting out of my comfort zone, build my personal and professional development.

• Excited to see my nephew walk soon as well as my niece graduate high school.

• Fingers crossed, a trip to Hawaii to see visit my family.

• Unfortunately, due to my current health issues, this year may be a more sober one. Not saying completely, but I'm letting my partying pants hang to dry for awhile.

• Helping others in whatever capacity God calls me to.

• ....And maybe working on my pirate mouth.

• Writing more, flexing my creativity muscles more.

Happy New Year!
