Well here I am again. Almost 365 days later to this little place that I used to call my own.
There is and always has been something about the end of the year that I like to recap. I always get thinking about life and where it's been, what I've done and where I want to go. I have hardly posted any life events on this little page in quite some time. It has all been very minimal in the last two years that I've even been back in Michigan.
I have created a new home here.
It is so much more than the home I had once before. I've created more than just a life here. I've learned to fall in love with this city and cities surrounding. I've found new appreciation for the people in my life and have learned to accept new ones.
The life I am building with my boyfriend is the best ever. As I look at him across the kitchen table as I write right now I can't help but feel those little butterflies that he still gives me. Giving him that little kitty smile that he likes so much. Watching as he smiles back at me. This man is everything.
Twenty thirteen was not the best year health wise. Diabetes likes to kick my butt sometimes. Actually, diabetes wise, I'm in the best health ever. Blood sugar levels steadying out so wonderfully. Mind you, the holidays likes to give me highs from day to day. I've managed. My stint in the hospital in April due to a faulty paradigm catheter. And a high so long lasting in September that I vomited for 6 hours of my night due to a new paradigm kinking under my skin preventing the insulin from getting to me. It's crazy how insulin actually keeps me alive and feeling well.
The babe was wonderful through it all. I figured a hospital stay would scare him away, but it didn't. It actually brought us closer together. It was after I was released when "I love you" was finally said. Almost six months into it.
The progress I've made at Carhartt is wonderful. Going from just a contractor in September 2012, thinking I was going to lose my job in April. Getting that contract extended through another year. Shortly after that, getting hired into the company. It's nice to be working someplace where my hard works shows and pays off. All the projects they allow me to work on and do. I'm more than just a customer service rep, and I couldn't be happier. I cannot wait to see where I end up with the company or even in my career itself.
The second half of my twenties has started on a pretty good foot.
Twenty six and 2014 are going to start in a new world. I will no longer be covered under mummy and daddy's health insurance. I will officially be a big girl and be dependent on my own insurance. Not gonna lie, it terrifies me. How much more money will I spend on things like test strips and insulin?
In a few short months I'll be moving out of my apartment and in with the babe. Something that also terrifies me. I'm trying not to let one bad experience ruin it for me. At least if something were to happen I'll be a 10 minute drive from home and friends instead of a 4 hour plane ride. I think it'll be a fun new experience. I feel like we've already started a life here. He only moved into his house a week after we started dating. Since then we've done countless projects. Building a garden together in the summertime. I laid a brick trim along his front garden. We even share a cat, though he's in babes possession and name.
Will this again be my last post on here? Or will I start up again.
I have missed this little place. Sitting down and typing as if I've continued to do it every day still.
I miss my lovely followers as well too. I hope you are all doing well.
