I cannot verify just clarify and edify... time together... and bye bye 2018
Hello !
Brief soujourn from the site. Matt and I have been busy bees, acclimating in our transition to Alabama. Hotel Mariott Residence Inn has been fabulous for our lifestyle changes and during learning new job etc, and house hunting. It has been a great retreat and nice to have free breakfast at hotel and free dinner some nights. I flew to southern California with Matt to see family for a couple days. Needless to say, it has been a good time and much needed; although a smidge overwhelming. It will be just enough to not see them for another several months essentially. Emotionally my brain still has not committed I have moved yet. I think it will take some getting used to, but I know when the truck arrives, I will be relieved and sad at the same time. 2018 has flown by for us and I didn't think it ever would. The distance gave way to us wanting to spend more time together. I know we will eventually want space, but right now it is great, hogging this time. Next year, we may be busy, and getting in date nights will be crucial.
We have a lot of transitions going on and plus planning a wedding and hopefully a honeymoon too next year. That being said, we have made headway on the website and guest list, and some decoration ideas. I am also helping myself remember we have a budget to stick to, and that some things I want done right now, may not happen, because they require more timely scrutiny, and analysis prior to their completion. Also, my man is not a huge fan of wedding planning, which is no surprise. He works with what is available to him and does a wonderful job at laying out strategic parts of the planning. Hey, the guy even added an app for date planning; i.e. what should be done when, and I love it! We are working to clarify what we want, spend more time together, and do what we can, mainly when we can.
I was working over our vacation and made a mistake on a list setting in a database and it was brought to my immediate attention that I wasn't listening. At first I interpreted this to mean the person was attacking me and what I was doing to fix the work in front of me. I found out after talking to them, they meant to explain how the changes could be fixed and then shared screenshots. I am a very visual learner. I have to see it in front of me in picture format or drawn out to understand. It was then that I spoke to my aunt about finding a mentor at work. Someone safe to talk to; someone to clarify, verify, and possibly edify what I would bring to them as far as work situations and maybe even life. I was too shy to ask, but decided finally to approach a family friend of theirs sent him an email. I find out when we return from the holiday, whether he has a name of a mentor for me, or that he will be a mentor. I am excited to know that this will help me in the future. My aunt explained it has so many benefits and helps you not explode in front of people before understanding what is really happening first.
Let me be the one of the many to say, I am okay to see 2018 go. It has been a year of many challenges, transitions, joy, vacations and adventures, tears, anger, loss of friendships, and so much more. It was a tough year for me, but not as rough as others, for those who lost homes in the fire, lost a loved one etc, but again what we feel and experience is still of important magnitude. Readers, I hope you and your wonderful family enjoy the holidays and New Years, and I pray 2019 brings good tidings. Love Your Blogger Gal Moxie
