It's a BeautifuLife

Lately, my life has seemed like a whirlwind. An "average" day has consisted of going in to work at 7:30, prepping for morning meetings, having morning meetings, prepping for afternoon meetings, having afternoon meetings. Then, when I should be leaving from work in an hour or so, I have to actually start my work so that the next days meetings can happen. I have been working until at least 6 or 7 and then being worn out and not wanting to do anything else. Sometimes I take my work home with me so that I can get it done. It seems crazy to think that I have only been in this job for 4 months because it just seems so much longer.
But don't think I am complaining... I love it. I am so grateful to have a job that I love and want to work extra hours. I feel so lucky to be in my hometown, which I love, and be with my family and close to my friends. Kyle and I are doing great and are finally on the same page. I know that I have said that so many times but I feel like it's finally true. And when the time is right we will be a family. :)
While I have never felt good at making friends, I have grown really close to the people that I work with and their families. Don't get me wrong, I have lots of friends. But I have always been shy and getting myself to open up to new people is hard. I have had it easy my whole life because in grade school, people sought me out to be my friend. I didn't have to look for them. And in college, I gained friends through 3 vices: Kyle, Phi Mu, and interior design classes. Kyle lived on campus so he made a lot of the close friends we have now through the dorms. Becoming a Phi Mu opened doors to so many things. I met wonderful, intelligent women with great morals. While my time with them was short, it has really helped me become the lady that I am. I will always be thankful to them for that opportunity. And lastly, the interior design program was so small, that it was impossible not to become friends with those in all my classes. Anyways, I digress. I have made great lasting friendships with my coworkers and bosses. And that makes it easy to love my job.
So this post has been a lot of blabbing and I need to restart my work day- came in at 7 this morning. Thought I owed it to myself to take 15 minutes to post.
