2012 has ALREADY been a year of fresh starts.

Aside from the obvious start of the new year, I started a new job. It's not what I thought I'd be doing but honestly, I'm really liking it so far. I'm learning a TON (something that hasn't happened at a job in a LONG time) which keeps me happy and my boss is a fellow nerd. During the interview we talked comic books and that's how he said he knew me and him would get along. Nerds stick together! He also has brought in a ton of comics/graphic novels he wants me to read so I have a little library next to my desk!

It feels good to be working 40 hr weeks again. Believe it or not, I like working. Accomplishing shit just feels oh so good and I'm at a co-work space which means that I am surrounded by awesome people who do a variety of different things. It has such a cool energy and it's nice to be interacting with people all day long that you don't actually work with. No drama! Yay!

I also moved in with my boyfriend of almost 3 years. While to some this doesn't seem like that big of a deal, to me it was HUGE. Up until I started dating this kid, I was a commitment-phobe and would find reasons to stop talking to a guy after only a few dates. Not something I'm proud of, but luckily I got a few awesome guy friends out of it.

Anyways, it took me bailing on him, leaving the country for six months, me begging him to talk to me again and a few really amazing dates for us to finally become "official." We have our shared of ups and downs and a year of us talking about moving in together to us finally taking the plunge. I've honestly never been happier. I love waking up and falling asleep to not only the man I love but my best friend. Cheesy, but whatever, it took me awhile to get here and I'm not going to apologize. ;)

So far 2012, I like the changes you're doing to this girl so you better not end in a giant ball of fire or anything....
