Holy shit. Don't even know the last time I posted on this. I won't recap on everything that's happened since then but here are some of the bigger points: • I graduated last May from the CLS program • Went to the Philippines for the first time in years and got to see my dad and Lola again. Met Jessie's side of the family and stayed in the area that he grew up in. • Started working full-time in a clinical chemistry lab and my one year is coming up in less than a couple months. • Student loans are a bitch • Jessie and I are bringing home a puppy in 7 weeks! • Currently looking for a bigger place to live in. Life has certainly been pretty crazy but I've felt so blessed and lucky. I feel like I've been enjoying myself more with every opportunity that I take and the best part is that I have Jessie on my side for it all. We've definitely had conversations about the future and not just about where we see each other together but where we see ourselves individually and how that fits (if it fits) our personal timelines. I think we both know that even though it might not happen this year or next year or even the next, that we're going to end up married. We both want to feel successful before settling down which I know sounds weird because we basically already are. If there's one thing that I'm kind of regretting is that I don't make enough time to hang out with people (not that I'm really big on hanging out a lot. I like my space). But with working M-F 7-3:30, then going to the gym or running errands, and then cooking dinner and maybe cleaning up around the apartment.... there really is barely any time. Which is why I've been trying to say yes more frequently to spontaneous decisions and people asking to hang out. I would hate to be one of those people that lose all of their friendships because I didn't prioritize my friends. Overall life is good. Stay positive and don't let the small things sweat ya. ✌🏼
