Half a Year!!!

Well I see my last post was quite some time ago huh! Big changes since then....kinda.

I moved home after summer school because our lease on our house was up the end of the month. I didn't do anything really until the end of August but search for a job and just enjoy the time off. It was nice to not have to study or worry about things...well other then getting a job. Everyone told me no hurry though and that I should enjoy the time so I listened (finally as my parents would say!)

The end of August I got a job in Michigan as an account executive at a radio station. I do outside sales which means I go around to companies and try to tell them they should use radio to do some advertising. I also meet with clients who believe in radio and set up advertising schedules with them. Needless to say I think, those are the clients I like to deal with more then the others. The job can be very frustrating at times but you just have to turn a cold shoulder to the rejection and not let it affect you. As much as I have heard that, told others that, and tried to put the words into practice, the repetitive rejection does start to affect one's self-esteem. I have enjoyed meeting the people I have met and I have formed personal relationships with others. It's been great yet kinda of bad at the same time.

Since moving back home it's been weird. Living with my parents again if great (no rent) but it sucks too. I like being around home again, just because i am so much more at home in the country then I am in the city; but I forgot how everything closes at 10 pm! There's no Mickey D's down the road or even a gas station that's open. It's nice to be with my friends who are still home, or who came back though! We play in a volleyball league Monday nights and that is so much fun! I was hesistant to join since I haven't played volleyball in forever but it's amazing how your body just jumps back into things it knows. So it's really been fun and I'm glad I'm doing that.

I have gone back to visit my roommates in the city since moving home and it's so nice to visit the city, but I can't see myself moving back there. Or at least a city as big as Milwaukee. I dont miss the snow and no parking in the winter that's for sure! The lights and options on things to do are what I miss though....and without having to say, I miss the girls too!

It's now almost Christmas and it's amazing how time flies! When I think back I see last years Christmas and you think "Jeez, a whole year before we do this again"...and it's here! I finished practically all but a few things for my shopping. I love giving presents and giving people something new. It's so much fun to get that new shirt or shoes that you get to wear....it's a great thing. I can't wait to see all my cousins open their presents. We have a 7 year old, a 3 year old, a 2 year old, and two 1 year olds! So it's tons of fun to see them eyeing up all the presents and getting so excited! They're so cute and I love them so much!!

Other then that I have been just working, playing volleyball and visiting with friends and family. My best friend is expecting a baby on Valentine's day and I can't wait! The Packers are kicking butt this year!! It's a great year!! Take care all, Merry Christmas!
