Let me start with an apology.... I have not blogged in forever, and I am sorry. I really am, but in my defense I did start a new job 2 weeks ago, and between that, graduations, packing up the apartment, and everything else, blogging has fallen off the grid.
I am thankful to have a job (and a salary and benefits) but now that I am employed there are all of these opportunities coming up that would have been great i dunno.....uh......6 months ago? Example: my parents, uncle, and brother are going to be exploring Spain, France and Portugal for the next month or so and invited me to go along. But of course the time they are going is the most inconvenient time for my new employer to be without me.
So now I have the travel bug and no solution. I am planning a trip to Savannah in a couple of weeks and hope to hit the beach at some point this summer, but all in all Andrew and I have no exciting vacations planned. NEXT summer, I MUST get out of this country. My brother has suggested Turkey and I am all about it (still working on getting Andrew on board with it though). Anyone ever been or know anyone who has been to Turkey?

So many decisions!
So, part of figuring out how to live like an adult is learning to make difficult decisions. I have too many very difficult decisions weighing on my mind at the moment.
1. Jobs: I have been offered a job at a ballet company doing office management and internal communications. This is not my ideal job, but it is somewhat related, has great people, has great benefits, and is stable. However I have also been discussing a job with another company. This job would be exactly what I want, but may not have a great salary or benefits and is not the most stable position. Also, I do not know when they will be making a decision on hiring.... So do I take the sure thing and finally get some more income coming in, or do I wait for a potential dream job? *sigh*
2. Apartments: This may seem like an easy decision. WRONG! We have looked at a zillion apts and have finally been able to narrow our choices down to 2 new complexes and our current complex. If we move, we will be paying more in rent, but will have a nice apartment (with an extra bedroom). If we stay, we will be able to save more money, but not have the second bedroom...I feel like you are supposed to save money when in your early adult years, but we need the space (and I would like to get some new furniture and donate all of this college crap).
So that is what has been weighing on my mind lately. It is a lot. These decisions will directly impact my future. What will look best on my resume? How much money do we need to save? AHHHHHH
