That Was a Long Intermission...

So I took a break. 

A LONG break. 

From so much more than just blogging.

I took a break from school.

I took a break from people.

I took a break from bad habits.

I took a break from negative energy.

I took a break from my old self.

I like to think of it as an intermission. 

I had a pretty rough first act, so I took a long intermission to come back strong in my second act.

And now here I am.

What happened during this intermission?

Well you all know I got engaged. (that was my saving grace at the end of the first act) ;) 

I found AdvoCare and lost 30 pounds.

I'm literally a shadow of my former self. I still have a long way to go--but I have come so far from where I was.

I took a few quarters off from school. NO that does not mean that I dropped out. I AM coming back and finishing school. I just had a ton going on and it was a better idea to take a long break than a bunch of short-ish ones and get behind in my classes.

My two best friends got married. But not to each other. My best friend Audriana got married in September, and my very best friend and brother Drew got married in November! 

I became an Aunt! My sweet nephew Jayden was born in August! 

I moved out of my very first apartment.

I moved into my very first house.

I focused my time and energy on friends and family.

I bought my first and very own car!

I found my niche.

I traveled.

I adventured.

I planned.

I opened myself up. 

I made decisions.

I prayed.

I ran. 

I became the very best version of myself.

I  g r e w  u p.

But not too much. ;) 

But don't worry. It's a new year, and I'm back. 

I've got a lot on my mind and a lot to blog about. 

I'll keep you posted.
