New Year, New Job!

I started a new job this year!  I'm still in the commercial real estate industry in Houston  Texas (one of "the" industries to get into down here!) and I'm so excited to start learning more of the trade and having more managerial responsibilities.

What I wore my first day: (please excuse the messy room!)

White V-neck collared top:  (I've had for years...a hand me down I think)

Blue silk wrap top:  Em&Lee $42.90 spring 2012

Black stretch wide leg pant:  Wet Seal $12.50 (from high school, ages ago!)

Grey felt blazer:  Ann Taylor Loft $42.50 (sale price) fall 2011

Pearl necklace:  Tiffany's (high school graduation present)

Happy New You!

So 2012 came and went...lots happened! 

• Paris, France! for the first time
• Gained a brother-in-law
• Traveled to Omaha, NE for the first time
• Quit my first job and got a new one!
• Paris, France! for the first time
• Traveled Lubbock, TX for the first time
• Attended the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo as a committee member for the first time
• Celebrated 4 years with my boyfriend
• Spent first big holiday (other than NYE and Easter) with my love (Thanksgiving!)
• Did I mention...Paris, France! for the first time

Now it's time for 2013, y'all!

So far, I've started a new job at the largest commercial real estate company in the world, yes, the world!

I started the year off in St Louis, MO with my boyfriend

Went to the Anheuser Busch Brewery (for the second time in my life)

and, on a less exciting note...

I've decided to take a break from my relationship.

I still absolutely love and adore my boyfriend, but we both have some individual issues we need to figure out before we take any next steps in our relationship.  An engagement was the next step and as of now I don't think I nor he is ready for that and it truly breaks my heart to admit that because I thought that I'd found 

"the One"

But coming from a broken household I want to be 150% positive that I am making the right choice.

I will love him until the day I die, nothing will change that, no matter what the future may throw our way.

Anyway, I hope we both grow in our time apart, and hopefully get back together in the end, but only God knows my plans and I can only live each day as it were a gift, because it truly is.
