Winds of change have passed my way

In keeping with my usual style of incredibly long periods of time between blogs, it has been quite some time since my last post. And yes, quite a lot has happened.

How bout a shot gun recap?

My last post was last August, which was the beginning of the fall semester. I got decent grades that semester, but my claim to fame was my perfect attendance; first time in my life.

But even with that success, the spring semester did not go quite so well. May brought about a bittersweet month for me. I rejoiced with my family as my sister-in-law celebrated her graduation from Asbury. But my heart hung low with the disappointment of yet another failure on my part.

So with a return to Asbury no longer on my horizon, I found myself at a cross roads. It does not matter what may have come to pass had I taken the other path, it only matters the path I am on. The choice I chose saw me staying in Kentucky rather than returning to Virginia with my parents. While my parents have always been wonderfully supportive of me, the bulk of my support system and nearly all of my friends were here in Kentucky.

I stayed with my brother and sister-in-law for a time while I searched for employment and a place to call my own.

It is now nearly two months after school ended. I have settled into an apartment in Lexington. I work part time at Coldwater Creek, a company I have worked with for three years and who has been fantastically accommodating to me and my ever changing life circumstances. I am still on the hunt for a full time job so I can pay my bills. It has been a long journey, but there are finally a few possibilities on the horizon.
