Forgive Me, I'm New To This.

Blogging is something that I have wanted to do for a while now.

Like many people, my life is ever-changing, almost always stressful, sometimes frustrating, but typically pretty wonderful.

We all go through ups and downs, and my hopes are to bring a positive insight to all things, regardless of how trying some situations may be.

I'm not that funny, but I just might humor you every now and then along the way.

2018- Ups, Downs, & Diagnosis

Image
Happy New Year and, Happy Saturday! It's a beautiful, dreary day here in Southern California (and I DO mean "beautiful"... that's the Oregon girl in me speaking).  I'm sitting in my small two bedroom apartment with my hubs and our dog; ultimately unbelievably happy, after all that 2018 threw our way. 2018 was undoubtedly the biggest year of my life. So much has changed in a matter of months and it's still hard to wrap my head around my new life. In March my then-fiancee and I signed a franchise agreement to start our business. Since then we have traveled more than not, which meant living out of boxes and suitcases for 5 months while we began the move from Oregon to California.  In late October we had an unbelievably beautiful and romantic wedding, which was the perfect way to say goodbye to Oregon (for now). Ahh Oregon, I miss you already. We honeymooned in Mexico and stayed in an incredible over-water bungalow at an all- inclusive re...

My Horrible Boss and My Bright Future

Image
I've already mentioned that I love my job, but I have not yet mentioned that I have a boss that just may be one of the worst bosses I have ever met. I know this sounds SUPER negative, but (on most days) I realize how it has been such a blessing to me. First, I want to give you some back story. My whole life, I have been an extremely non-confrontational person. I am a people-pleaser and disappointing people has always been somewhat of a fear of mine. Around 15 years old I realized my passion in life, and since graduating from college, my passion has only grown. My first "career" job after graduation was in in my field of study, but I learned quickly that that specific position was wrong for me. I was there just under a year before I got a job with the small business that I am with now. I have been here nearly two years. I was initially hired by a gentleman who was the company's operations manager. He is no longer with the company, and now I am working his job, ...

Organization

Happy Friday! I wanted to take a minute to talk about my absolute favorite organizational tool. I have a crazy schedule as I have briefly touched on in my other posts; I am planning a wedding, going to be moving soon etc. on top of a full-time job, juggling doctor appointments, friends, family, and so. much. more. I also need to find time for a workout every day and time to myself now and again.   If inanimate objects could be your best friend, mine would be my  Day Designer Planner . This thing is AMAZING. I have an hourly calendar, a to-do list, a notes section, and even a place to write dinner plans and my daily gratitude. Not to mention the adorable styles.  Year after year I have searched high and low for a daily planner that had everything needed and they always fall short of my expectations, so this last November I was determined to find THE ONE. I spent many hours researching and comparing planners, and though this one was a bit more spendy than the...
