It's Been Too Long

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I posted on here. I really am going to try to be better about writing. I've missed it. I think sometimes I keep things in too much and writing helps me let things out. Let's see. What has happened to me in a year?

I got a job last November selling electronics on eBay for an electronic recycler/reseller company. I love the people I work with. They are amazing. There probably about 40 at most people in the company, five of which are women. My department is just me and two other ladies, Kim and Andy. They are amazing. I'm so grateful to have them in my life.

I've been to so many weddings in the last year, I'm going to go broke from buying gifts! I'm so happy for all of my friends who have found the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with. I'm especially happy for my friend Taylor and my sister Sydnie. I was actually with Taylor when she met her new husband. I credit their relationship somewhat to me because I helped convince her to go give him her number when we were about to leave. I'm also very happy to have a new brother in the family. We love Syd's husband and are so glad she has found someone who completes her.

My friends and I bought gym passes to try and get healthier. I'm not going as much as I was earlier this year, but I have lost 10-15 (depending on the day ;) ) pounds this year. I actually need to go buy new jeans soon, they're starting to sag. I have gained a bigger appreciation for exercise and eating healthier. Also I ran my fastest mile yet the other day in 8:54!!!

I started a mini book club with my friend, Jacob. We try to talk every week about the books we read over the app, Marco Polo. It's been really good for the both of us. We each have a goal on Goodreads to read a certain amount of books by the end of the year, and this helps keep us accountable to that. It also helps us keep in touch with each other as we live in different states.

Most importantly, I think I've been happier this year. I definitely do still get depressed, but it seems a bit more manageable. I think I have a lot of that relief to thank Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for. I've really tried to put more of an effort into my relationship with them. I am very grateful to them and the blessings they give me each day. Some days are harder than others, but there's always some sort of blessing in each day that I can find and be thankful for.

Well, that's pretty much how my year has gone. I'm going to be better at blogging from now on. It helps me clear my head and let me get words out, which is sometimes hard for me.

Until next week!
Jaclyn
