So, it would be cliche to say "it's been awhile..." But it has.  And I've noticed everyone has been updating, so I figured I will too!

Well, a lot has changed since February.  I'm now living in Columbus after getting a job with the Defense Finance & Accounting Service (DFAS), which is the accounting firm for the U.S. Military.  Let me tell you, working for the government does not suck. I have a great little two bedroom apartment just North of OSU and I have adopted two kittens - Bronte & Winchester.  I'm looking into the getting my MBA at OSU here sometime soon and then eventually going for my CPA after that.  So far I'm surviving this whole "being on my own thing" and I'm lovin' it!  I'll admit, it does get a little lonely sometimes, but I'm beginning to make new friends and I even joined Kiwanis with my Uncle Kent.

Speaking of which, my mom and us have "reunited" if you will with my mom's side of the family - save for grandma and grandpa.  A lot of them live in the area, so it's been nice having family around and it's nice to go to the farm again (I've TOTALLY missed that place).  Other than that, Columbus has been amazing so far.

I'm sure you all know, but Mike and I broke up a few months ago.  It was hard, but we both knew it was coming.  However, we have managed to hold onto our friendship, which is something new and different for both of us and we're still good friends - which makes me happy.

I won't lie, I do miss Norwalk from time to time...mostly the people.  I have a huge trunk of pictures from high school and college I was looking through the other day and it made me really nostalgic.  I miss you guys...a lot.  PLEASE come and visit or let's plan to meet up somewhere, it's been TO LONG!!!  My screename is on the left, so please IM me and I'll give you my new cell number and my land line. 

Well, that's about all for tonight.  Here's hoping I'll keep this updated more than once every 10 months. I've turned old and go to bed before 10 each night so I can be at work by 6:45.  But please drop me a line!!!

Until Next Time...

God Bless!

This is your time, this is your dance.  Live every moment, leave nothing to chance.  Swim in the sea, drink of the deep.  Embrace the mystery of all you can be.  This is your time...

 

 

 

So, yeah, it's about time I update this thing. Let's see, it's only been 4 1/2 months.  Hehe...

Summer was...okay.  I mean, I was excited to see everyone.  But I worked...ALOT and I really didn't get to see some people as much as I would have liked.  People close to me had bad things happen to them and it just seemed that no one could win.  So, I'm glad it's over and I'm back at school.

So far, my senior year of college (OH MY GOSH, that's so weird to say) has been going really well.  I am really enjoying my classes and I have absolutely loved every minute I have spent with my sisters.  We're gearing up for Formal Recruitment, so we've been devoting a lot of time to that.  It's gonna rock, I can feel it. 

Other than that, I'm just starting to look at possible job opportunities.and graduate schools, mostly up in the Toledo area (for obvious reasons ).  I'm thinking I want to work for a bank or a company and go get my CMA (for all those non-accounting majors, this is a Certified Managerial Accountant so I can work for businesses).  I've even dabbled with the thought of going to Law school on the business side, but we'll see where life takes me.  God has a plan for me and it's better than one I could have come up with for myself.

I have a feeling I'm in for a lot of growing up this year.  I mean, just look at us.  Jess is getting married next month, most of us are getting close to graduating college, getting jobs, etc... And before long, the rest of us we'll be getting married, having kids and all that jazz. Whoa...I think I just scared myself a little.  *Shakes head*  It's gonna be an exciting year, that's for sure.

Well, my folks are coming down for supper tonight and my room is a mess, so I'd better go get it in some kind of order.  I love and miss you all!

Until Next Time...

God Bless!

An e-mail I got from my dad:

Monday was a great day for your brothers: Shane got into EHOVE and Jimmy joined you in the Norwalk National Honor Society. His induction is Monday night.

 

I'm so proud of them!
