Next Chapter, please.

So, I'm pretty excited.
The next REAL chapter...not this filler nonsense...of my life is about to start.
I'm finally on the path to becoming a "real" grown up.

New job.
New boyfriend.
New attitude.
New apartment (ideally...).
New lifestyle of living on my own.
New puppy (hopefully!).
(ok, so the last three are probably a few months off still, seeing as my lease here doesn't end until May 31st, but still.  Living alone is a real possibility now!)

I just got a job offer at a place called Trinity Counseling Resources.  I'm going to start out as part time, but I think there is a very real possibility it will turn to full time fairly quickly.  I may not be making a TON of money (but it's more than most starting salaries in this field!) but that's okay. I'll FINALLY be doing something I LOVE. All the blood, sweat, tears, years and money that went into obtain this stupid degree will finally be paying off!

And of course, the new boyfriend...the amazing new boyfriend of mine.  So far, so good, so perfect. I am loving getting to know him and developing our somewhat hilarious relationship (we're both totally weird; it works out scary well).

I can't get over how everything seemed to happen at once.  There has been radio silence in my life for the past few months...maybe a blip here and there, but for the most part, nothing...and then BAM. ALL at once: Boyfriend, job, new apartment on the horizon...all happening during one of the busiest months I've had in a LONG time. How does that always seem to happen?

Regardless, I am so happy about this new job & so excited to see what's next.  I feel like my life has finally been unpaused! :)
