Second Chances and Other Random Musings

So it's been awhile. I almost forgot about this whole blog thing that used to suck me in and almost didn't spit me out. It was this blog that consumed my whole summer just a year ago. And now..it's nothing but a distant memory. A distant memory which I am about to bring back to life.

I consider myself a writer and as a writer sometimes you just can't write. They have a name for it - writer's block - but that's not the name I refer to it as. I refer to it as life block. It's when life hasn't thrown you enough lemons to make lemonade. Life hadn't thrown me enough words to write a blog entry. But now it has.

My life has been a series of changes in 2006. I went down to part-time student status and only took 4 hours while I worked almost full-time at an internship. It was both rewarding and challenging and the best part of all is that it's over.

It's over because I am now a college graduate. I have my degree (well, figurately not literally - I'm still waiting on that to be mailed to me but the point is I've completed the requirements). I graduated with my bachelors in journalism from one of the finest journalism schools in the world. Yes, I am one smart cookie.

It was a stressful semester as I searched for a job that would both challenge and reward me. It took many resumes and cover letters but only two interviews and I landed the job of my dreams - well almost. So it's not the job of my dreams - I'm not a famous author or a screen play writer or a soap writer but hey it's paying the bills (well I might add) and I am able to live in the town I love and in the career I enjoy (public relations). Yep, my life is pretty good right now.

On top of that, I am in love. Head over heels in love. None other than to the man that I wrote amazing things about when I first began this blog. The same man who later broke my heart but eventually came back to me with more love than I could ever imagine.

I've never had a relationship that consisted of such perfectness. No fighting, no disagreements, do dissatisfaction. Just pure joy. Pure happiness. The best part of my day is always the part where I come home, lay down next to my man, and spend the night cuddling. Nothing could be more perfect.

So, as you can tell, life has thrown me lemons and I am overflowing in lemonade. Let's just hope my cup doesn't runneth over!
