Where Have I Been?

I don't know what it is lately, but all of my excitement for blogging has been missing. I am so lazy about reading blogs, commenting on blogs, and worst of all updating my own blog. How lame am I?

I am trying to re-commit myself to updating and making my blog much more active and fun.

So what have I been doing that I haven't had the time to update? The truth is not all that much but still I don't find the time to update.

I guess the happenings in my life in the past month are significant to me, but I have been avoiding blogging about them because I don't want to be Debbie Downer. I guess that is where I got deflated about blogging. I guess I'll catch you up to speed and we can move on.

What's new with me?

• I'm back to the whole singles way of life (not that no one could have guessed that)
• I am LOVING not being in school this semester, does it get any better?
• Work is so crazy busy I don't have time to read or update blogs (another factor)
• I have gained some good friends and strengthened existing friendships
• I have become more of a resident of the Jensen household
• Went on a date (shocker I know)
• Randomly went to California (as you know)
• Planned and booked my incredible trip to Europe in September with my amazing mom!
• Arranged my finances as such that I will be officially debt free next week when I pay off my car (hallelujah!)
• Had the chance to hang out with my favorite people: my family (evenings and a sleep over at Jamie and Mikes, evenings and a sleep over at my parents, birthday breakfast for Jake, etc.)
• Learned a lot of valuable lessons and things about myself
• Come to appreciate the joy of loving the stage I am in life

Life hasn't been easy and getting over a broken heart is tough, but an experience I am grateful to have. I have learned so much this past month of all that I am capable of and all that I have to offer. I have so many amazing blessings in my life that I need to count them continually to even think of half of them. Learning to move forward and grow from rough patches has helped me to become a stronger person and reinforce my resolve to be better and not settle.

I am in such a fun stage of life right now and I am going to enjoy it! My responsibilities are minimal and I have the freedom and ability to accomplish anything I want! I am going to count my blessings every day and appreciate all I have to live for right now! I am going to love life and all it has to offer me!

Since I am re-committed to blogging, you can all join me for the adventures!!!
