Well its been a few months since i’ve been able to update my lovely blog. How have you been? 
2011 had its ups and downs. Some great news and some not so great news. Among the great news, I rounded the year off with a promotion at work. I am now the Operations Manager at the #1 volume location in our Northwest region, MAC Valley Fair. My first day was Black Friday and it was awesome…talk about diving right in!
Although the commute is not so favored the job itself is more than I couldve asked for…I am loving it more and more everyday…and the talent I work with is absolutely amazing! I feel so inspired.
Some not so great news that I havent even mentioned before, my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in August and she’s been fighting an uphill battle. Though her high spirits remain in tact, all we can do is spend as much time with her as we can.
What else happened in 2011? Our dearest friend Maurice is still yet to be found…wherever you are Maury, you are dearly missed and I am thinking of you, always.
And last but not least, aside from the crazy holidays, starting my new job, dealing with all kinds of emotional pulls left and right, I managed to finish last semester with a 3.46 GPA…thats one A, an A-, and a B+. Not bad…I didnt pull straight A’s out of the hat as promised but I am super proud of what I achieved considering the circumstances and everything else that was going on with my life.
2011, thank you for a fun and not so fun roller coaster ride of success, life, and love. 2012 will be an even better year as i’ve noticed an increasing pattern of better-ness since I found my better half.
Lets do this.
