Got My Dreams, Got My Life, Got My Love.

Got my dreams, got my life, got my love,

Got my friends, got the sunshine above,

Why am I making this hard on myself 

When there's so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy?

Happy New Year from Me and My Other Half!

So Many Beautiful Reasons to Be Happy.

Aside from feeling like I've been hit by a freight train (took a nasty spill on some black ice yesterday which uncluded cracking my head on concrete, and now my entire body is in ridiculous amounts of pain like I've never experienced before), 2014 is off to a wonderful start.

First off, I'm buying my first house with my beau which I am absolutely ecstatic about. We're customizing it to fit us and to be everything we want in a starter home. It's a huge step for any relationship, but it truly is what feels right. And in being realistic and knowing that anything can happen and that relationships can end, we are preparing for the worst while hoping for the best. (Just in case anyone was questioning how quickly things are moving and how smart the two of us are being.) In any case, this is a very exciting time in my life and I really could not be happier.

Secondly, I've had the chance to see and catch up with many friends whom I haven't seen in a long time ... a year and a half to be exact. Had lunch with my friends from University and it was great to spend time with them and all the Linguistic-nerd glory. Seeing more friends tomorrow which makes me more happy.

Overall, I find that I am quite fortunate and blessed to have this life of mine. For all the hardships and adversity I've faced in past years, I find I'm on the upswing for a change and hopefully staying on this trajectory. Everything good that is happening makes me feel like the struggles were worth it.

Here's hoping 2014 continues to be a great year. I hope everyone's year is going well thus far and will also be prosperous and full of joy.

Much love,
Adrienne
