Have a great week!

Take it easy.

.. and in this moment...

... ahhh..... so the last few weeks have been an absolute whirl wind... and I've loved every minute of it!

So I had quit my previous job... and I had two weeks off....
I was able to do what I wanted, when I wanted, and however I wanted. I spent a lot of time working out and hanging out with friends... and just enjoying the peace.  I got really good at going and running and trail near me. There was just something so relaxing about taking a 3 or 4 mile run during the morning.  I was able to have a sleep over with my niece and nephew. It was so amazing to spend the time with them. Taking them to the Natural History museum and be a witness to their eyes lighting up with they saw the big dinosaurs. I even introduced them to Woody Woodpecker! It was such an enjoyable time. I realize how lucky I am to be able to spend the time with them.

Also during my "unemployment" I went to Vegas! I enjoyed Vegas! I know I'm an odd ball, but I LOVED old Vegas! My friend and I zip lined over Freemont Street and it was AWESOME! I had such a great time! All in all, Vegas was fun. I got a great tan, I won some money (Whoop!), and made some amazing memories.

Last week I finally started my new job. So far so good. I honestly cannot complain about anything that has happened up to this point.  I received my schedule last week and it looks like I'm going to be a very lucky girl with two awesome AWESOME trips... (more when the details are finalized.)

In the last few weeks, I've had a lot of time to unwind... to settle down and release the stress from my last job and to finally enjoy life. As I was on the phone with one of my college friends tonight, I said to her, 'Life is finally right.' I feel that I have finally gotten to the point where life is good.. and the crap that I went through, I went through to get me to this point.  Now that I am here, I couldn't ask for anything better.

One of the greatest things that I did at the beginning of the month, was......... to pay off my car. I did it 2 years faster than I should have and I did it 4 months earlier than I planned.  I cannot even begin to describe the weight that was lifted.  I have paid off all the debts that I accumulated from my marriage.  This month, when I get my paycheck, that money will go towards me and decisions that I will make for myself. Not past decisions, not someone else.. but here and now and for me.  I cannot even begin to express how awesome that feels.  I made a decision 2 years ago that I wanted to be debt free.... here I stand.  Nothing has given me more pride.

This really is the start of the next chapter in my life... and in this moment... I am happy.

Take it easy.
