I am going to REALLY fast forward my life. In the past seven years the following - what I consider major - events have occurred:
2006: July - Started working at Tiki Bar
August - Started my first year teaching 5th Grade at LWP
December - Cole and I broke up
2007: November - Cruise to the Bahamas
2008: February - Bought my first car (nice little Valentine's Day present to myself)
April - First Key West trip
June - First time at Bonnarroo Music and Arts Festival
2009: Clearly a blurr...I have no recolectoin of this year, but Sister got preggers
2010: February - My nephew, Jaxen Heath Alexander, was born :)
May - Got engaed
October - Finally got an iPhone after swearing I wouldn't
December - Bought a house
2011: March - My grandma passed away - the only grandparent I knew :(
May - Got UNengaged
August - Started my first year teaching 6th Grade at SOMS
2012: May - House flooded
June/July - House remodel - CONSTRUCTION ZONE and still a work in progress
2013: January - Cole came to visit, Sister got engaged and annouced 2nd pregnancy
I thought I'd leave the details to imagination! It was hard enough remembering these things and some I would rather forget!
So now it's 2013! I have a career, a second job, a house, 5 more payments on my car, and SINGLE - BUT not quite ready to mingle!!! I'm thinking 2013 will be dedicated to my house, my friends, and doing fun things! Not that you can't do fun things while in a relationship, but I've found there is a lot less discussion. Life is so much easier while having to answer to no one. Trust me, I totally miss have a significant other for physical reasons but emotionally...NOT so much!
In the words of John Mayer:
Nothing to do, nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do, no one but me
And that's all I need
I'm perfectly lonely
Cuz I don' belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me
So here's to finding myself in 2013!
