I know I know I know, so it's been well over a month since my last post, but life has been hectic to say the least. I figured it was time for another post, as this week marks a monumental time ..... ONE YEAR IN ATLANTA!!! My oh my, where has time last year gone?? It seem like just yesterday, dad and I were piling in the truck and driving across the country!! In short, it has been a wonderful rollercoaster of a year, but I am in such a happy place in my life in so many ways. Yes, there have been and are some not wonderful things taking place, but there are also some very amazing things taking place. All in all, I personally am a happy person in a happy place in my life. When reflecting on all that has come of the past year, I thought "What I have learned" would be most appropriate, so bare with me, and here we go......
Drum-roll pleeeeease........
"12 things I have learned since moving to Atlanta" (one for each month I have been here)
1. Distance really in fact does make the heart grow fonder!
2. Pool time does not really go until Christmas day in all parts of the country...
3. "Atlanta traffic" really is just as bad as they always say
4. Living 4 floors up with no elevator really isn't as bad as it first looked .... ok, maybe somedays
5. Noone will ever come close to replacing all my wonderful friends from college that helped to change my life in such a big way
6. Seeing my family 6x more than I used to a year, really is as wonderful as I imagined!!
7. Making a brand new group of wonderful friends is still possible at the age of 25
8. The people you work with really can make or break your career experience
9. There will be moments in life when you realize who your true friends really are.
10. Becoming involved in a Jewish community really does give me a more fulfilled feeling in life
11. Being aware of yourself medically and taking care of yourself is so very important-- you never know what may come of a (what you think is going to be) simple routine check-up
12. I have some of the most amazing and loving people in my life, and have no clue what I would do without them even for a single day, whether they are down the street or thousands of miles away...
Here's to year TWO ...... I can't wait to see what the next year as an Atlantan has in store for me!! :)
