It's a brand new day and a brand new year and needless to say I cannot do much of a year in review. 2009 went by so fast. John was retired from the Marine Corps with an 80% disability, and is eligible for the full 100%, which is currently in process and being reviewed as we speak. A business opportunity just fell into his lap, and is something that the both of us are forever grateful for and although it is something that I would love to talk about it, it is just not the right time. Once the dust clears I will be more than willing and come mid January we should know a little more of what's going on. For the majority of 2009, I buried myself in school work. I know, it is not fun for most, but I enjoyed it and it gets me one step closer to becoming a doctor. I even came across an empty soul this past year, and happily cut the strings and moved on with my life. And while they are still dwelling in the past, they are not that important enough for me to do the same, which is why I cut those strings and attachments in the first place. I am focused on the future and this person is nowhere in sight!
So what does this New Year have in store for me? A new life, full of opportunities. John and I have finally found the road to success. Although the end of that road is quite a ways off and is hard to decipher through the vast distance, I am somewhat relieved that we found it and I have grown more patient since finding it. I know it is going to take some time, and right now I am just along for the ride. We would like to buy a house, but with this mess of not knowing with the business we are not sure which direction to look. But on the contrary, I have a couple of houses picked out back at home in the MO. But if we bought a house in the MO we probably won't be there for long. On the other hand, if we get a house back home, I would be more content while John is traveling with the business and will be close to friends and family, however, I hate "home". It is extremely hard for me to coexist with the whole small town, small mind thing that goes on. There is a whole different world over the hedge Vernon County!!! Granted not everyone has the whole "hillbilly dumbness" going on. Still, it is not my cup of tea. I would like to move back to California. California will always have a place in my heart. It was my first taste of the real world, it was my home for 4 years, it was a fresh slate for me and even though I said I hated it, I grown to love it and what it had to offer. But California is way too far away from the business. The business if based out of Washing DC. So DC is an option for us. And then there is Boston, which is where my cousin lives, who happens to own this business. So that is an option, I would love to see Massachusetts! Just don’t know if I want to live there. I think that maybe subconsciously I am scared shitless of moving to the East Coast. For the simple fact that 2012 is right around the corner. Hey I am not saying I believe, but anything is possible. And another fact is DC is a hot spot for terrorists! I don’t want to get my ass blown off, I know for a fact we are still at war, I mean my husband just came from there! That is scary, when I think of DC flashes of 9/11 storm through my head. None of that shit happened on the West Coast! It's clear on the other sides of the map, nothing but local gang shootings, which by the way have gone down.
We don’t have to make a decision on where we want to live right now. This is good for me, because I just cannot decide. For the first six months, John will be working out of Chicago, so that will give me plenty of time to decide on here or there or elsewhere. So that is pretty much what the year 2010 has in store for me. Not that exciting! Cheers to a new year anyway!
Thanks for tuning in!
