Hello!!!!
Oh how I've missed you all! I love how I wrote three blogs and then stopped. I think I lost my enthusiasm for California so quickly, I didn't want to share my misery. Lol Buttttt, I've been getting lots of requests to fill you in on what the heck is going on in my life since it seems to keep changing, so I thought I'd use this avenue to catch everybody up. ;-)
I have no regrets about choosing the California adventure over the safe route and given the chance, I would do it all over again, but I am SO FLIPPING HAPPY to be home!!!! Not that life was ever bad, but it was less than enjoyable there for a hot minute. September came around and I just decided to start making big changes in my life. I started working out and to date, I'm the lightest I've ever been in my adult life. I'm really excited to see the changes in my body and my energy level. I cannot get enough of the outdoors and trying new sports. I can't wait for summer. I joined an awesome gym and I'm on the right track to keep losing. I feel great!!!
Next change on the list, get the heck out of California. I really realized the things that are important to me and God and my friends and family are at the very top of my list. You guys make my life so happy. I've always known you were important to me and I've never taken that for granted, but I was so empty without you!!! I cherish you guys and there's a reason you're in my life. Every single one of you. Thank you for bringing the joy and happiness to my life. That being said, I picked a date and decided job or no job, I was moving back to CO.
Change 3, new job, STAT! Well this kinda threw me for a tailspin. I've reached the point where I have no idea what I want anymore. Between being laid off from the two jobs I loved the most and being so burned out from the one I was in, I literally had no idea where to go. So I decided to just let it go and see what I could find, whatever it might be. Enter Jodi Becker. :-) Have I mentioned my awesome friends? She told me her company was hiring and I needed to apply. Next thing I know, I'm in Denver for an interview. I will NEVER forget the way I felt that night when I stepped off that plane. I felt AMAZING. I felt on top of the world. I didn't even know if I'd get this job, but I knew without a doubt that CO is where I belong and I was going to get back no matter what. I got the job and moved two weeks later.
Unplanned change 4: I have been on cloud 9 since I got back to Colorado!!!! Home for Christmas, got to see my baby brother that I haven't seen in over a year, back with my family and friends, the Rocky Mountains are in my backyard and I had a great job. Enter Shannon Rodriguez. Another amazing friend. Tuesday, email from Shannon, "Call me! I might have an awesome job for you!" She tells me about this job and I get goosebumps from head to toe. This job could not be a more perfect if they tried! Sounds amazing! Yes I'm interested! Tell me what to do next! Skip forward two days and two interviews and I have my dream job!!! What the HECK just happened??? Moreover, I go tell my current employer and they are elated for me! These people have known me for three weeks and are so excited and supportive, I'm in shock! I can't even believe this is all happening. So you've all been asking what I do. I work for an Event Design company, Eclectic Hive. We design and decorate corporate and private events with awesome props, furniture, accents, lighting, you name it. Its awesome!! My title is Design & Admin Assistant. Jack of all trades sums it up better. I literally do a little bit of everything, which is what I LOVE!!! I help around the office, operations, sales and design. My boss is freaking amazing. I really still can't believe this happened. I have this unbelievable opportunity to learn from a very talented designer and grow into whatever I want with this company. Yikes!!! I'm gonna knock this outta the park! If you want, Check us out!

I was walking around the lake this afternoon, soaking up the awesome sunshine, looking at how beautiful the mountains are, just thinking about how unbelievably blessed I am and how completely happy I am. I haven't felt like this in a very long time. Life is so good. Really and truly. I feel amazing. I love my home. I can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings. Now I'm just looking for my own place and hoping to move to Denver in June or so. Yay!!!!! Pool parties here we come!!!! And, thanks to the help of my bestie, Crystal and my bro, I now have possession of my awesome new couch!! Heeheeee, I can't wait to have a living room!! Lol. A minor detail, but I'm on it.
Thank you for your friendship, love, inspiration and support. You make me who I am!! <3
