The end of the year is here...
To sum this year up… this year was a pretty great year for me. It had its ups and downs like every other year but overall the biggest complaint I have is that it’s cold outside! Lol
The first part of the year is always exciting to me just because I know that upcoming challenges will be approaching and of course my birthday – January 2nd :). I always wonder what I should expect and be prepared for, but the truth is, you never can be too prepared for life… it just comes and you just have to take it how it’s thrown at you.
In 2010, I started out the year pretty sad and disheartened because I was supposed to be volunteering in Panama and didn’t get to go… I had just graduated and hadn’t planned on being home so I wasn’t working yet. By March, I got my first post-grad job at Trax.com, which has been going really well and in June I was offered a full time position. I went to school for Criminal Justice and ended up a Marketing Research Analyst, which has taught me many things and allowed me to open up my experience to other industries. We’re a start-up company which is teaching me MANY things I’ll need when I open my company. I work with 3 other people, excluding my boss – all of which are under the age of 25 so it keeps the office pretty interesting and definitely fun. I also really did a huge push on my business stuff and in 2011 I will be doing WAY more of that and a little less of building everyone else’s “brand”. April was a roller coaster for me because I experienced death up close and personal for the first time in life. My Aunt passed away on the 9th but then I was blessed with my 1st nephew on April 13th. It was definitely a whirlwind, but opened my eyes to the blessings I have and the way they are being presented to me. My nephew (and god-son) Brayden has been such a joy to my life for the past 9 months… he’s almost walking and already has 2 teeth, being an Aunt is an amazing feeling!! Summer was… well SUMMER, my all-time favorite part of the year of course. July brought an amazing man into my life that allowed me to see chivalry is DEFINITELY not dead. He’s everything I ever could have asked for and more & I thank God every day for blessing me with him and the love he shares with me. [I love you baby] – The rest of the year has been great. I’ve had many things to look forward to and be thankful for this year, and the holiday’s brought family time as my brother returned from school after finishing up his 3rd semester at Morehouse College.
2011 will be nothing but great because I’m proclaiming that now. I know there will be things that I will not like and will not understand, but as I grow I’m realizing more and more how to accept and move on. I’m ready for what the year has in store as I embark on 2011 and 23 years!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE & thanks for the support this year, expect more upcoming!
(As I always say about each new day… If 2010 was not a good one, YOU have the power to make 2011 better… use it!)
Wooo whoooo I made the slide show! Hello 2011!
