100th Blog Post / 26th Birthday

I was surprised to see that my 100th blog post was coming up! Granted, I've had this blog for about 4 and a half years, so I really shouldn't be that surprised. I decided to publish this 100th post on my 26th birthday and do a little recap.  
As my 26th approached, I was thinking more and more about life and how far I've come since high school (probably triggered by seeing someone from high school that I hadn't seen since graduation 8 years ago). It got me thinking about a letter I wrote to myself in high school. My english teacher had everyone write a 10 year letter to their future selves, which he would mail out 10 years later. Pretty awesome teacher, huh? I still have a couple years to go, but I'm really curious to see what I wrote. Mostly, I hope my high school self would be proud of where I am today.

Here's where my blog started:

November 2008- I started this blog, mostly as a way to keep in contact with friends and family whom I didn't see as often. I was in college and living with Dearest (then just my boyfriend).

Christmas 2008

March 2009- Dearest and I got engaged. I was months away from finishing college, though he had recently gone back to school (the start of a 5.5 year journey, which we are currently still on).

July 2009- College = done! I graduated and started working at the bank.

July 2010- I got promoted at work. This is still my current position and I'm really enjoying it.

Dearest is still in school, though he is so close to being done. I'm still working at the same place. I supposed I should enjoy the consistency now while I have it. I know within the next 6 months or so, life will be turned upside down. Dearest will be done with school and have a job, I could be leaving my job, we could be moving, etc. As my life motto goes: C'est la vie. :)
