Something amazing just hit me. I was on facebook and noticed that there was a box on your wall page where you can write a few sentences about yourself. I began writing. I will paste it below:
I feel like I am 21, living in an adults body. Living the life of an adult. Mortgage, car, wedding coming up. Is this really my life? When did all of this come together. How did I get so sensible?
And that is what I want to talk about. It is 2009 - I guess my lack of updates in the past two years don't fill in my story very well. I guess I went from a young girl, used by a boy to a strong young woman. I went through broken friendships, he says, she says, he says again. I went through a lot of crummy bar jobs, [three at once I do recall at one point]. I went through uni, tears and tantrums of hating my course. I graduated with a 2:1. I passed my driving test. I found a path to follow and trained as a teacher. I left behind friends who were bad for me. I entered the world of proper work. I opened a savings account with Sean. I saved and he saved. I got a job as a teacher in Wolverhampton. I met real people whose lives did not revolve around going to the pub. I met people who were genuinely great people.
I think that is the turning point in my life. From that point on we both saved money. Saved and saved. A year later we had saved enough to pay all of the fees associated with buying a house. We bought our amazing home. We have lived here for one year and four months. I spent another year at my school in Wolverhampton and then got a new job. A promotion at a school in Stafford. I got my own desk in my new school. I got engaged. I got a new car.
That I guess is the story of how I became an adult. And how I got so sensible.
2009 is a huge year for me. It is the year that I get married. It is an exciting year. In 8 months I become a married woman.
Finally a few resolutions.
Lose another stone by the end of April.
Be more in touch with friends by text.
Reply to texts in a more timely fashion.
Go to all social outings I am invited to.
Take lots of pictures to remind me of everything I do this year.
I hope everyone has a great 2009.
