Fast Forward...

Thanks to my close friends Brittany & Christen, I decided it was time to give blogging a try. I am new to the whole idea so bear with me! After graduation in December, I was more than thrilled to move home to be close to my family & closest friends. Shortly after we both got jobs back at home, Christen and I decided to get an apartment of our very own! We were thrilled & had some great things come about during our six months together. Christen & Mitch found out they were going to have a baby! Stephen and I were so happy to hear we would have a little one to play with & buy cute gifts for :)

Before we knew it, Mitch proposed!! They had a small, beautiful wedding given by their pastor. Sadly Christen moved out but, was able to begin the married life while she and Mitch prepared for their little girl! I had been teaching at Sylvan while on the hunt for a teaching position within a school. Unfortunately teachers were being layed off so getting my foot in the door somewhere close by was very difficult. I had to learn to have a lot of patience & did start to get very discouraged at times. It was hard knowing I went to school to obtain two degrees yet, could not get the job I had hoped for. Following all of these transitions, I finally got a better full time job! I left Sylvan & came to work for a fine jewelry store. It is very close to home & I have been so happy getting to work with some of my best friends in such a great environment! I have really enjoyed the business & am learning quite a lot. I think this will be great experience to have outside of teaching for me. Here are some pictures from after moving back until now:
