And then we wait...


It's funny how quickly time can get away from you.

Where to start...

Living back at home is actually better then I thought it would be. Go figure! Everything is very simple. Matt has fallen back into the working fulltime thing very comfortably. He enjoys it and that is fantastic. He has really been "rocking out" at his job as well. He was told recently that he should expect a promotion before the new year!

As for me... things are as complicated as ever. I actually took a job as a Research Assistant at the Atlanta Center for Medical Research. I negotiated my salary and all. After working there about four hours I could tell that I had made yet another huge mistake. This job was not at all what I had expected... and to take it I had compromised my biggest deal breaker of them all -- it had a horrible commute. Needless to say I decided that I needed to quit that job while I still had the financial ability to do so an start being more selective about what I interview for etc. So the job search continues.

The good: I have not regretted dropping out of grad school for even a second. As bored as I am... and as much as getting a job scares me more than you can know... I have never gone there.

The better: Matt asked me to marry him on October 16th! I'll attach a photo of my fabulous ring. So you can expect a wedding planning blog to follow some time in the near future. <3 Matt
