It's amazing how long it has been since I have taken the time to write a blog post. And now I sit here avoiding the large amount of work in front of me, reading all of my old blog posts, and just reflecting about life.
I texted Michael letting him know I was reading my old blog, and I told him how blown away I was by how much time has passed, how many things have changed, but then how many things have oddly stayed the same.
There has been love... so much love. Michael still is such a huge part of my life, I am so happy with him, and we have something many people dream about. We moved in together a couple weeks after my last blog post, so it has been over two years! We bought a dog almost two years ago now, surprise, surprise, I got a yellow lab puppy! His name is Ryder and he is the best dog. I have maintained my close friendships, there were some bumps, but am so incredibly grateful to have everyone in my life that I do.
There has been loss... and it has been hard. I have lost my Grampa, my favorite person. I have lost my beautiful girl, Scout. I have lost my silly little Spazzy. Each loss has made me reflect, cry, and learn to move forward. I will never forget those three, and although it odd to group them together, they each have a part of my heart forever.
There has been growth... I went from not knowing what I wanted to be when I grew up, to still not knowing but having a crazy career. I had a few jobs and have pushed myself and grown very much on my career path. I have been extremely proud of myself.
Anyways, I think that that has been a quick and detailed enough description of the past two years. I will get more detailed potentially, or potentially forget about this blog for another two years. Either way, it was nice to check in today.
'til next time,
XOXO, B.
