So I decided to start a new blog. I got a new email and I wanted to redo a lot of the same accounts I already have. Why I'm not really sure- I just felt it was time to start fresh.
My life is becoming more and more advanced as the days go on- which of course is a very blunt statement but at the same time- true. I am getting older and with that comes more responsibility. It's nice to feel like I'm going to be 'stepping out of the nest' so to speak. It's hard to not want to just leave. It's hard to feel content in my current environment. I want so badly to move out- to start over to just get somewhere I can call my own.
Work is amazing. I have gotten so much responsibility (again with that) ordering, paperwork, lobby pieces, everything. I have gained so much experience and I can't think Denise and the crew enough for that. It's so refreshing. I am now in charge of the lobby piece at the Wyndham Drake Hotel in Oakbrook. (pictured above) It's now my baby. The first thing some businessman's going to see when he walks in to check in for the night is my floral piece. Maybe he'll smile- maybe he'll think, "oh that's nice" and move on. But at least it had a part of his day. When I was delivering a wedding there a few weeks ago I saw a dad lift his three year old daughter to smell the flowers. I smiled knowing she smiled at the scent of my flowers. It's small things like that which make me happy.
Derek and I are going strong. We've hit the 9 month mark a few days ago. I still feel like we've been dating for years at this point. We've achieved that comfortable stage where you don't worry about making the wrong impression. I hate not waking up next to him everyday. I can't explain that feeling I had when I'd wake up in Branson to his face. He's a blanket hog- I'm a snorer- but we can still share a bed. So what if I have to wear layers and he has to sleep with a pillow over his face? We manage. We work it out. We compromise.
I have to mail in my insurance that's due the 27th...
I have to mail in my voter registration. I feel guiltier and guiltier every day I don't.
I have to do my laundry.
I have to fold said laundry.
I have to buy a new phone.
This responsiblity thing is getting insane.
