Georgian all the way...

Today it finally happened, I am officially Georgian all the way. A few months ago I got my Georgia drivers license and that was one of the steps but today I picked up my Georgia License Tag, I had been procrastinating on this one and it is amazing that it took me almost a year to go all the way, geez!

I think I was in denial for a long time, but today, while I parked in downtown Newnan and it took me literally less than 15 minutes going to get my tag, I was actually glad to live here. I stopped on my way out and took a look at the little family owned shops, the Christmas lights up and the very vintage look and I began to appreciate the beauty of this town. Maybe I need to stop complaining about it and just walk these streets more often, get in touch with what this cute little town has to offer, make it an adventure, go out and EXPLORE!

I think lately I have forgotten to be grateful for the good things we always take for granted and I need to start the exercise of acknowledging these again on a daily basis. Not everything is bad and actually there is a ton of good... I am happier than what anyone would think and all things are finally falling into place! Let's end this year full of positives and make 2012 a way more awesome one!

Back to blogging

I know, I know... I've been pretty quiet which usually translates to busy. Yes, it's been pretty busy with tons of great things happening. I finally became a full time employee with benefits - which I haven't had in FOREVER!!! Lease is about to expire and been looking to move closer to Atlanta since I've been up there a ton. And I discovered a new activity that is taking a lot of my free time now. 

My latest love is the SILKS! It's a form or aerial acrobatics like rope, trapeze, etc. but to me the most beautiful of all. It's quite a workout and very rewarding, I've had just a few classes but I'm already hooked.

Here are some pics so you can see what I'm talking about =)

Bedroom Dreams

So lately I've been daydreaming about what I would like my bedroom to look like and here is a sneak peak of what I have in mind. Most of the furniture is from Pier 1, which I absolutely love and bedding and some accessories are from Z Gallerie.

The color palette is the shown above and even though I know it will be purple-ish I am not completely sure those will be the exact colors. This project will take a while to complete due to my finances but I am sure that little by little I will be able to get this done!

So for all of you who ask what I wanted for my birthday... lol! Pier 1 gift certificates would fit the bill ;)

Hope you guys are having a wonderful week and hope you are ready for Labor Day weekend because I am!

P.S. I am having company tomorrow and I can't wait!

XOXO

One more year

Another year goes by and honestly I think this one will be one of the best of my life. The past 8 months have definitely changed me, but each day that goes by I am more convinced that it changed me for the better. Everything is starting to fall into place and I am truly happy with many things, my life just keeps getting better and better.

Every time a birthday approaches I can't help but think of what I have accomplished and boy did I do a good job this past year. These are some of the milestones! Survived a super-hard breakup... breaking up an engagement was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made but also one of the wisest. With that break up came a move where I had to start from scratch in a new state, make new friends, find a new place and a new job... but everything has been accomplished.

I finally have a job that I love in a great company, in an area that I never thought I would be working in just because my background is so not related. I yet managed to land the job and excel at it in such a way that what started as a consulting gig ended up in a full time job. 

New friends... tons of them! Awesome people that have made me feel at home and that have been there for me in these rough last months. Reconnected with old ones, specially Mariana who I can't thank enough for being there... I guess the bonds we create in our childhood never go away, and this is a true example.

Health wise I can't be happier... I have managed to maintain healthy choices when it comes to my diet as well as Sophia's. I completed my first triathlon, I am in excellent shape, almost back to the size I was before my last relationship and I can't feel better about it. Been working on my abs and I am telling you all "THIS YEAR I AM GETTING MY SIX PACK" I am almost there and I can see it coming out, been doing Ab Ripper X and boy does it work! Once I get leaner I will post pics!

I just can't even begin to explain how blessed I feel... I still miss my Chicago friends and the city I love but I am so grateful for all the things I have and all the wonderful things I have accomplished in this 2011 year. I feel happy, loved by my friends and family and most importantly in peace. I just know that this year is going to be a great one!

Thank you God for all my blessings!

XOXO

I look so good without you!

The BITCH came back! lol

There should be a male version of this song! HAHAHAHA!
