Never been a big fan....

I am not a fan of change...and by big fan, I mean I hate it. I get into my little comfort zone and never want to leave it. I have had major change issues through out my life. The first one that I can remember was right before leaving for college. The closer that my move away date came, the more I thought about taking a year off. The next major one was when I got my internship in California. I was super excited initially when I got it, but the more I thought about leaving my friends for the summer and living with people that I didn't know in a place I had never been, I started to think about trying to find an internship closer to home. Looking back at both of these incidents I know that I have made it through in one piece ready for my next adventure.

So, my next adventure is laying at my feet. I have moved away from Cedar Falls, gotten a new job and now reside with Trent and his parents. This is a major change to say the least. Today I moved most of my clothing down to Huxley and unpacked my room at the Quick homestead. I also drove down to Downtown so I have some clue of where I am going tomorrow. I think that all the stress from the move and new job got to me because I snapped at Trent on the drive because he was confusing me on what turns to take when. I didn't realize how many one-ways there were downtown. I have a feeling it might take a while to get my bearings.

I feel as though I am on the verge of a panic attack and have to keep telling myself to breath in and out on a regular basis. I have picked out my outfit for tomorrow, found my route to work and am now getting ready to pack a lunch. It is Pre-School all over again except with better clothes and hair. Or I guess it could also be compared to moving away and having to start a different school.

I miss my small apartment and my friends, but I know that this is a step in the right direction and it's only a matter of time before PoOf nIgHt V is in Des Moines! ♥ =)

Movin' on up

So, things have finally fallen into place. I accepted a position at Nationwide on Thursday and I couldn't be more excited. I am finally getting down to DSM like I wanted to. I am getting away from Hell aka Scheels and working in what I consider the 'real world'.

Accepting the position does come with mixed feelings. I am glad to get down there and start a new job, but not too thrilled to be moving in with Trent AND his parents. I hate not having my own space. I have my own room, but it is just not the same. It will be great to save money though, which is how I have to look at the situation.
I am excited to move near a city that has a lot going on but sad to be leaving my friend Jamfla. No more random Kohl's runs or trips to HyVee. No more nasally singing in the car or talking like a poof girl. I guess this is all apart of growing up.

Here's to starting a new chapter.

AHHH...

So, I am stressed to the max right now. It seems as though the saying, "When it rains, it pours" is right. Now in this situation it is not a bad thing, just somewhat stressful. Let me break it down for you.

Within the past few days I have been offered a position at Scheels in DSM and have had an interview with Nationwide. These are all good things, but then it causes me to stress about what I should do. I am a people pleaser (which will be discussed in a later blog) and hate disappointing people. This is where the problem starts. I feel as though I have to please everyone else and their needs before I even start pleasing mine.

I think that part of me would like to stay with Scheels because it is comfortable, but at the same time I know that even with the raise in pay they said they would give me it wouldn't be enough to save like I want to. Then there is Nationwide. It is a new job that would allow me to learn new skills and meet new people. Yet, new jobs make me anxious which lead to anxiety attacks. There is just no winning with me.

I don't want to let anyone down. I really need to start thinking about my needs more. Any suggestions?

This should tide you over...

So...I have been bugged and nagged to get on this whole blogging thing. I was even given a list of topics that I could blog about. So I guess I will have to start with those, as soon as my mom goes back to Montana I PROMISE to blog!!

Expect one Sunday! =)

Bold Statement

So-I just want to make this bold statement to the world.
I THINK THAT STEP UP 2-THE STREETS IS BETTER THEN THE FIRST STEP UP MOVIE. There, I said it. I watched this movie last night for the first time and decided with my friend Jam that we loved the movie, the final dance scene and that we needed to start up a dance crew ourselves. We decided that the club to start this all at would be Jokers, of course. I would give this movie 5 stars and recommend to everyone. Although it seemed to have parts from other dance/step movies, it was still a good watch.

Blogging Virgin

So, obviously I have some problems setting my blog up. I feel like I am technologically challenged all of a sudden. Hopefully I will get it up and running to how I want it soon.
