Update on my life

I have internet!  This is so exciting.  I feel as though it has been forever since my last post.  I have a plethora of blogs that have been collecting dust either in my documents folder or my brain that I am very excited to start posting now that I am reconnected to the world. 

A brief update on my life- I am officially a SanDiegan!  I am an Account Coordinator at a fantastic Ad Agency in San Diego and I love it.  Essentially I coordinate accounts.  I work with the Clients to make sure everything is happening when its supposed to happen.  I also have the role of putting on any hat that comes my way.  It's great because I get to do a little bit of everything and every day is a new experience. 

I moved a couple weekends ago into an adorable little one bedroom apartment.  I am proud to say, I officially unpacked my last box today.  Everything is clean and organized and my house will never look this good again.  I'm excited to start decorating :) 

This weekend I will fly back to VA for graduation and a couple of weddings.  I am attempting to do two weddings in one day... we'll see how that goes.  Both couples I set up so I am very excited to have been a part of their love stories from day 1.  Very excited to see my Lynchburg family and all of my middle school girls.  And excited to have a break from the chaos of fulltime working and moving. 

The few moments I have had this past month to sit and reflect have led me to the conclusion that I really do not know myself as well as I thought I did.  I am learning new things every day.  I realize this sounds odd... you would think you should know yourself better than anyone else... but I'm finding that I really have not met myself yet.  There's something about living on your own that forces you to really figure out who you are.  I'm excited for this new adventure. 

It's an odd transition from childhood into adulthood.  Supposedly you prepare for this your entire life, but I can't help feeling like I just spent the last 22 years being a kid and now all of a sudden I blink and BAM! I'm expected to be an adult.  I feel like I've spent my entire life wishing I was a little older, a little wiser, and now I find myself wishing I could just slam on the breaks and get my bearings for a moment.  I don't feel like a grown up.  Given my genetics and quick metabolism I don't much look like an adult either.  I think perhaps the most difficult part of being an adult is believing you are one. 

But now it is midnight, which is the new 3am.  I have become accustomed to falling asleep around 10pm, which is my new midnight.  I have the sleeping habits of a 50 year old so that must be the new 22.  Last Friday I got a voicemail message from a friend that said "Hi Sarah, it's about 9pm so you're probably out partying or having fun but call me when you get home."  I was definitely sleeping for the night.  Oh youth.  Where have you gone?  Why have you departed so abruptly? 

Sleep now, Busy busy work day tomorrow, Lynchburg tomorrow night.  That is the update of my life in a nutshell.  More soon!
