Well, that's embarrassing....

Oh. My. Goodness.

I haven't posted in about 2 weeks. I meant to post something before I left for Oregon warning that I wasn't going to post while I was gone, but that didn't happen..... and since I've got back I clearly haven't said a single word on here.

I would feel guilty, except I don't (well, I kinda do). I really do enjoy my blog, but I had such a great time just relaxing with my family for a week and then enjoying spending time with Nick since I got back on New Year's Eve (not to mention going straight back to work... no I'm not really enjoying that, it just had to happen) that I've really neglected this little place on the internet.

Something kinda weird happened when I got back, I don't really know how to explain it. I was sad to leave Oregon, but not like last summer, when I had no idea if I was going to be going home for Christmas and I bawled my eyes out. This time I was ok because I know for sure I'm going back in May at some point, and staying for about 2 1/2 months.

I don't know if it's that it's finally cold here and all I want to do is hibernate (I did go to bed at 10 the last couple of nights... glory!) or what, but I feel kinda down. I'm excited about the new year, I really am! But this week, and the fact that it's January, have put me in a funk. I'm getting back into the swing of things at work, and that's great, and I love my job, but I'm just..... tired. I'm tired of feeling like I don't make any money... I'm tired of feeling stuck.... I'm tired of Decatur. I think what I need is that move and change of place desperately, but I have to be patient and wait. And I'll be ok once my body adjusts to the cold (I really forgot how cold it gets) and I really get used to work again, but right now I feel sort of blah.

That being said, I am so excited for this new year, I'm just really bad at being patient. I get to marry my best friend this July, and we get to move on to the next chapter of our lives together. I feel that marriage is going to be the most exciting adventure that I ever embark upon, and I just can't wait!!!!

But I have to. So here I will be, trying realllllly hard to be patient. We'll see how that works out :)

Bear with me as I get back into the groove of blogging. I promise it will happen! 

But for now, here is a picture of Bailey, my cute lil' kitty.
