Fast Forward

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!
