I completely forgot about this thing!

So much has happened this year that I forgot to exclaim about!

I had two relationships that were fantastic while I was in them, even if they did end poorly. They both led me to grow as a person and I'm all the better for having those people in my life.

I moved out on my own for the first time, which was long overdue considering my age. Found and leased my very first apartment closer to where I'd gone to school. It's a lovely place, nice and spacious, and it's perfect for me. Along with the new apartment and location, I got a new job! I found a decent paying job as a deli/bakery manager for a local grocery store with fifteen locations, and I get to swing to all of those stores to cover for people's vacations and help out when they need extra hands. It's actually kind of wonderful. I've learned a lot, and while the management aspect is stressful, I can handle it.

My car started to die on me, which isn't that great, but it did lead me to buy my first brand new car! A 2014 Chevy Sonic LT... in this awesome color called Dragon Green Metallic! It drives so well, and while I'm a little anxious about taking on yet another new bill, that's definitely overshadowed by the awesomeness of owning a new car.

I've made a handful of great new friends through work and some failed dating attempts, as well!

Really, this year has been super busy but absolutely wonderful! I wish I'd remembered to update as it happened!
