A lot has happened over the past 3 months since I last blogged...mostly with my job (don't worry I haven't moved or changed companies again). The job I was hired to do has kind of taken on a whole different form than what it was when I first started. Which may have always been a part of the plan mind you, but I'm pretty certain it won't stop changing anytime soon either! Whether that's good or bad is yet to be seen. I have gotten to experience some pretty cool things since I've been there...going to the NCAA Men's National Championship basketball game in Houston being the biggest so far...and I am looking forward to football season starting up so I can hopefully go to games at some of our properties! For once I feel like I am doing something that really plays to my strengths...working with numbers, people, and in a small, family-like environment (oh yeah the whole college sports thing doesn't hurt either). But there have been some tough moments too...and I'm sure more of those to come...all part of having a lot of responsibilities on your plate I guess. It isn't always easy being the same age as (or younger than) a lot of the people you work with and having to be the "boss" sometimes too. I am thankful that I am a person who handles change and chaos somewhat well though, because things have been so crazy the entire 4 months I've been at my job that I don't know how I would've survived otherwise. Maybe moving all over the place and changing jobs a couple of times isn't such a bad thing after all! :)
As far as everything else goes...things have been fairly calm lately. I spend a lot of my weekends with the fam or hanging out with friends (here or there) and trying to survive the already scorching Texas summer heat.
The biggest thing coming up in the next few weeks is my 10 year high school reunion. Scary right? I still can't believe it's been that long already! It really seems like just yesterday I was walking through the AHHS halls, hanging out in the west parking lot, and trying to find my way through the teenage years. Makes college seem pretty far gone as well. I am excited to see some people that I grew up with and haven't had the chance to run into or catch up with over the past few years...but I think I am more interested to see who actually comes (since I know a quite few people don't live around here anymore)! I'm sure it will be fun reminiscing over things we think are long forgotten...maybe I should bust out the yearbooks for old times sake. Just kidding. I have no idea where those even are these days! I guess I'll have to report back after the big shin dig and let you know how it went. Though having it at Joe T's guarantees at least the drinks will be good!
Boy wise (something I usually don't talk about on here)...things always seem to become more complicated the older we get. Especially because a lot of us are really committed to working hard at our jobs...no matter the amount of overtime or traveling required...and that can sometimes cause us to put our relationships on hold. Not the easiest thing to do, but I think you just kind of get used to it after a while. And even though I try to live with a "life's too short" mentality, it doesn't always translate into every aspect of my life. I am trying to go with the flow and let the bigger plan God has for my life guide me in the right direction, which is definitely not easy for a stubborn/independent person who likes to plan things!
So I guess that's me in a nutshell right now. Well I'm not literally in a nutshell, but you get the idea!
