Holidays are here

So I know it has been a while since I have posted anything. Not that I have not been busy, but I find it hard to post when I am going through it. Then I remember, that's why I started this blog. To talk about my experiences now that I have relocated and started a new life.

Today is November 23, 2010. Thanksgiving is just 2 days away. And while I have never been big on Thanksgiving, it is hard knowing I am spending this holiday so far away from my family and friends. But I have been so blessed to have the best husband a girl can ask for. He is going out of his way to make sure this holiday season is special for me.

First off, he is not a huge fan of the Christmas Season. Growing up it was not a fun time in his house so he doesn't get excited now. But he know that I love Christmas like a child, so he is getting excited for me. He is getting me a Christmas tree and we are going decor shopping this weekend. He even agreed to getting a sappy "First Christmas" ornament for our tree.

My family and I have decided to spend Christmas Skyping so I can be a part of the family celebration, but I am ready to start new traditions and love the family I have here with Juan.

I can't say that I am not sad about being so far away, but I am trying to embrace my new life.

On other news, I have decided to leave my part-time retail job. While I love the discount, the atmosphere was bringing me down and keeping me from seeking my real purpose here in NY. I mean I am still working part-time in some freelance positions and volunteering in different areas, but I want more and I have to focus on that to get it.

So much to think about, so much to experience, and so much to experience.
