January

JANUARY IS OFFICIALLY OVER!
And it sure seemed to drag on after 2011 flew by the way it did.

I had a few of my closest friends over to celebrate the new year.
We did a lot of catching up, dancing and singing to old school tunes, fireworks, and everything.
{and i'll bet my new years kiss was better than yours}
I sure wish I had been better about taking pictures that night, because now I don't have a single one to post here :(

Aside from NYE, my month has consisted of:

Starting a new semester.
Up until now I haven't seen any reason to rush with school. I know better than to take a break

(I know myself, and trying to get back into school after taking a break would be like pulling teeth) 

but, I have slowly been working my way towards my general associates.
This semester has been a little stressful.
I have officially hit the hump. 

I am sick of school, and ready to jump into a career and big kid life.
I know everyone has this, and I know it is something I have to, and I will get through..
Its just frustrating while it lasts.

My second frustration with school is figuring out what I want to go into.
For years and years I have been certain I wanted to go into nursing.
And now that I have changed my mind, I have literally NO idea.
They say if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.
That is what I want. I want to truly love what I do.
But finding a path that is going to take me there is scary.
Once again, I have been warned and I know that EVERYONE goes through this.
Everyone changes their major about a million times. I know. Its normal.
I just never saw myself here, questioning things as big as what I want to do every day for the rest of my life.
The rest of my life is a LONG time..

Work.
Nothing too different and exciting here.
I am still working at Willey Honda.
I work as a receptionist and cashier.
And I now also do all of the licensing and title work for our Ford and Honda dealerships.
I've been working here for about two and a half years now.
I have about the best possible job for a student there is.
I get to make my own schedule, and I pretty much do ALL of my homework while i'm at work.
Which works out great!

But sometimes it is hard to watch what seems like everyone moving on with their lives while I feel like I am stuck in a rut.
I feel like my life really hasn't changed much since graduation.
Still in the same job, making the same money.
Still taking classes that aren't really getting me anywhere.
Still living at home, and driving a car that isn't mine.

While I watch friends move out, move into careers, getting married, having kids, and starting their very own lives.

**which by the way mom, I am in no rush to do any of the above, don't get your panties in a bunch ;)

And I know I promised not to use this as a way to whine about my honestly VERY easy life.
So i'm done with that :)
On a lighter note, I remember now why I NEVER go snowboarding anymore.
Me, Trevor, Hunter, Bridger, and Ryker went on Sunday.
And my entire body hurt for a good three days after.
Other than that, it was SO much fun :)
Really good to get on a mountain for the first time in three years.
And it was really nice to finally see in action what that boy of mine is SO passionate about.

 
{does anyone else think its SUPER weird that after two years, that was the first time we have ever been snowboarding together?}
We are going again over Valentines weekend.
And i'm super excited :)
I'll save that for next months post though.

February should be a MUCH more exciting month than January was.
Valentines day, My Birthday, Trevors Birthday (his first REAL birthday in 4 years)
But i'll save that for next time..
:)
