I have a new job in advertising/marketing.
I'm learning a lot and nearly every day there is a new challenge. It's definitely way different from what I was doing before but I'm glad I made the move to "the next step" and am getting a lot of great experience under my belt.
I have an official boyfriend, Matt, who is THE BEST.
Matt and I met at our mutual friend, Jess' graduation party back in May. He went to grad school with Jess and also went to undergrad college with Jess' boyfriend, Carl, back in Michigan. Jess and I went to high school together. Pretty cute, eh? When I first met Matt, I had no idea that he was interested in me, he didn't really have much game and therefor wasn't very flirtatious towards me. But, there was a reason why we both stuck around until the end of the night after everyone left. Matt asked me for number, well actually, he asked if I wanted to "hang out sometime" and then I asked him if he wanted my number. Our first date was at The Cafeteria in uptown, followed by his first experience with Tea Garden and a stroll around Lake of the Isles ending with a romantical sit down under the stars at Lake Calhoun. And, I actually kissed him on the first date, something I have never done before! And now we've been dating ever since and he's definitely the best guy I've ever dated. I scored big time! :-)
I'm running a 5K this weekend.
Despite me running the 5K this weekend, I have not been good about working out. I've gained 5 lbs since meeting Matt and have totally lost my drive for working out and eating super healthy. And I feel gross. So, now I begin the trek again. I would REALLY love to loose an additional15 pounds. It's going to be a slow process but Matt and I are going to try and keep each other motivated. My work schedule now is completely different (i.e. I have less time to cook/work out, more of a commute to work) so I need to find a way to adjust to my new lifestyle.
I've pretty much accomplished all of the goals I wanted to this year. Next year, I'll have new goals and I do have an idea of what I want to do but I do not have a compiled list thus far. Of course I will share more towards the end of the year, with reflections on this year and all.
