It has been a year since I've graduated from grad school. A lot has happened. After graduation I moved to Mass to live with my boyfriend, Evan. In July we will be celebrating our second anniversary. I spent all of last summer search for a job in student/academic affairs at an institution in Mass/Southern NH. Sadly I was not able to find a job in my field right away, and my student loans were going to starting flowing in. Luckily I found a job writing proposals for my boss who runs a small business and contracts with the department of defense doing research for the military. It is not my ideal job by any means, but I'm learning a lot and thankful for what my pay check has provided me. Evan and I moved into our first apartment in November; it is a brand new building and we have made it our home. I predict that we will be here for a couple years before we decide to move on. In February I was able to buy my first "new" car. A 2008 Toyota Corolla (not to worry, no break problems). I'm making great headway on my student loans and car payments.
I like to think that I am very responsible adult, who has my priorities in line. There is nothing that I would change about my life, besides my job. That will come with time though...I keep looking and applying. The right job will come along, I just know it!!! Staying positive is really hard at the end of a long day, where I do not feel like I get the respect I deserve. However, life hands you lemons...
On a very excited note, Evan and I are making a huge addition to our family. We are getting a puppy. She is a cockapoo or as Evan refers to her a Spoodle! Half cockapoo/half poodle. Her name is Molly and we are getting her Friday, June 18th. We have puppy proofed the apartment as much as we can, done the research on training her. I would say that we are going to make great puppy parents. I am equally as excited to see how this will bring Evan and I even closer. He is my other half, and I love him more than words can explain. I pray to God that he will always be in my life.
