Good Riddance.


It's been quite some time since my last post.  Guess I have some catching up to do.



The year 2013 wasn't the greatest year for me.  I left a retail part time job for a rewarding full time job.  Long story short, it wasn't the right fit for me.  Since then, I have been unemployed for almost 3 months.  On top of that, at the end of the year I found out I have high cholesterol at 285.  Well, that escalated quickly.

Although I had some bumps in the road, the time off has given me the chance to think things over.  I realized that a lot of my habits need to change, and to set my priorities right.  My first goal is to work on my health.  Going from a college diet of ice cream and chocolate, to now a diet of oatmeal and fruits is quite a big transition, but it was easy to adjust with cholesterol lurking in the back of my head.  I started to run again.  I never get sick of it, and I've always wanted to push myself further than I've ever gone.  I plan to run a half marathon sometime this year, so I've got some work to do.  I'm taking full advantage of this time off to run, because I know when I have a job, it could be limited.  With that being said, my next goal is to obviously GET A JOB.  I've lost track to how many jobs I've applied to, but I can only hope something will come my way.  Once that happens, I hope so save some money on the side for my WEDDING!  Time is flying by and 2015 will be here before we know it. 

That about wraps up my life at this point, hopefully things start to pick up, and Jake and I can get back on our feet.
