Trying to get back into the groove of this

So... It's been almost a year and a half since I last updated this blog. I noticed my last post was about 2 weeks before I made a decision that completely altered my life.

On November 29th, 2010. I moved into an apartment in Las Vegas, NV. Yeah, big change for the Washington State resident of 12 years. I made the move with my roommate at the time Jen. She was moving down for work and asked me to come down there with her.

Let's do a quick recap of the story... Here I was, age 20, had a good job, great friends, family close by and pretty comfortable while living in Tacoma. Then, come on day, this opportunity to completely leave my comofort zone and basically start life with a fresh slate, came up. Now, this seemed like to amazing to be true because prior to this, I was mentioning wanting to move away and start over, multiple times to my good friends Adam and Mary. So I basically couldn't say no.

Yes, it was scary to leave my stable job (especially considering the economy and that Vegas had the highest unemployment rate in the country). Yes, it was terrifying to move to a completely different state where I only knew one other soul. Yes, it was difficult to adjust to a new climate and a new culture. But most importantly; YES, I have no regrets in moving what so ever.

I won't go too far into detail regarding the past year I've been living in Sin City. But I will gladly cover some big points.

• I did manage to find a job! It took me 4 months to get one but I am very grateful for having it.
• For personal disagreements, I am no longer friends with Jen. Still, I am grateful for knowing her because without her, I wouldn't be where or WHO I am today.
• I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend Jeff for a year now and I couldn't be happier.
• I am starting school in April for Nursing. I have a feeling it is a career choice that won't only be financially stablizing for the future but I feel it will make me greatly content with my life and my work.

I have grown and learned so much by moving down here. Not only have I learned so much about myself but also about people in general. I would like to say that I'm still pretty much the same guy that I was in WA, only better. This change in my life has been one of the best things to happen to me and I wouldn't take it back for anything.

I will definitely be posting more on this so stay tuned! (If anyone is still keeping an eye on my blog :P)
