Oh what a year!

What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't reminisce about the last year and talk about how excited I am for the future?

This year brought about a lot of changes. The biggest was by far moving out. It's still strange not seeing my family every day, and I suppose I can admit that I miss them (sometimes). However, I LOVE my apartment and I love my roommate. We are having a lot of fun. We were just talking about how nice it is to have someone to come home to and talk about the day with. Sometimes it's bitching, sometimes it's funny stories, sometimes it's just shooting the breeze. I don't know how I would do living by myself, even though I always thought I would prefer it. But I like having a roommate. Seriously, the only thing that would make this place better is if we could have a cat. Oh, and we still need more furniture. haha!

Work also brought about a lot of changes. I became more serious about actually investing a future with the company. I am on my way to my 4th position switch in the last year. I went from a permanent part time to the full time kid's specialist, to a holiday manager, and come Sunday, I will be the full time men's Levi's specialist. I am excited about where the future will take me. It will take a little bit, but I am willing to be patient. I have learned a lot about the company and thought a lot about where I want to go. I had a talk with my new manager about it the other day. I started the day out super crabby, but I could not do anything but smile after it. He talked about how much confidence the leadership team has in me and how they can see me going far with the company. It's exciting and rewarding. I know that I can help lead the young men's team to success. I am going to be more than just the Levi's specialist. I get to head the young men's team. It's a new initiative that my new manager began a few months ago. It didn't really pan out with the last team he had, so we are starting fresh. I get to act as basically an assistant manager. I know this will help take me places.
