I may not have gone where I intended to go...

But I've ended up where I needed to be!

WOW! Well hasn't it been a while? I miss all of you so much! My life is crazy hectic at the moment! I wish I had the time to blog every day like the good ole days, but I'm busy living the life I've been dealt. I am currently in my last semester of college to receive my Bachelor's degree in Social Work. I am interning for DFCS or what most of you all know as the Department of Family and Children Services or Child Protective Services. Yes, I hear all of your gasps and this is nothing I do not hear on a daily basis when I actually tell people what I plan to do for a living. I love my job though and although there is a lot of bad in what I do, it pays off to be able to witness the good. I love having a job that has a huge purpose.

I am also currently applying for jobs in Atlanta, where I plan on moving the week after I graduate. That's right, Stephen and I are taking the next step. We have gotten an apartment together and I will be moving there to live with him as soon as I graduate. I am very excited for these future plans. We have been dating for a year on Thursday and we have been dating long distance and visiting each other every other weekend and on holidays. I have spent every break from school with him. He completes me and I could not have chosen a better man! I am also in the process of applying to the Master's Social Work Program at UGA so fingers crossed I get in :) I still plan to one day become a forensic interviewer and work with child rape victims. I am also currently writing a grant for a 501c3 non-profit here in my town. It is for a special needs playgroup. I love where my life is taking me at the moment. Stephen and I also brought a dog together. We love her so much and could not have chosen a better furbaby. She stayed with me for a while, but due to everything I had going on we decided that he could give her a better routine so she has been staying with him for the past few weeks and will stay until I move up there and am reunited with my little family. I love them both bunches! As you can see, my life is pretty amazing at the moment and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! I am looking forward to finding out how everyone else has been since I have been away from bloggy land.
