And the six-month hiatus is over.
So let's begin with how my summer was semi eventful. I was re-transferred from my "new" branch to my "old" branch. It was a bittersweet move for many reasons, but mainly because my boss was also leaving to take over a bigger sheet. The announcement was made over fancy sushi, which made it a little less sad.
I also went on a week-long vacation with Mike. Because we had to move our vacation date, we couldn't do the cruise anymore. Instead, we went to our first away SF Giants game in San Diego. Due to changes, we ended up going to the game after Lincecum's perfect game. It was also because of his perfect game that for the first time, I didn't fall asleep in the car during a road trip. It was a ton of fun to listen to and celebrate. We also went to Las Vegas for some NBA Summer League and good food. And of course, we couldn't leave out the Happiest Place on Earth.
I went to the best concert ever, aka Legends of the Summer Stadium Tour. Jayz and Justin Timberlake were amazing! I wish it never ended. I also wish I could've gone to another one. Eek! :) Our seats were fantastic, but I mean... we really only sat while waiting for the show to begin. Oh yea, I also saw the Backstreet Boys in concert for the first time in forever! Oh and the NSync reunion on the VMAs? More please! :)
My dog, Kaydee, is finally insured for her health's sake and my peace of mind. Her rabies shot is up to date as well as her dog license. I still need to get her registered for a microchip and spayed. Yea, dogs are expensive alright.
So. I got a promotion at work! I'm still in my training program, which I am projected to finish by the end of the year. I'm hoping for the best. To be honest, I'm scared and am feeling intimidated by it. But still, I can't let doubt and fears get in the way of my ability. I just have to believe, especially after hearing my now boss's boss tell me how he believed in me since our first encounter in my now-previous role. Prayers much appreciated, thanks. :)
Well, besides all of that, I celebrated another birthday. Two of my friends got married. Another two got engaged. One had a baby. Another one will have a baby. I get to see my nephews regularly again. And we upgraded our seats at Levi's Stadium... we got four this time. (Yes, I'm glad that football is back and that the Dodgers have been eliminated!)
I am just so thankful for all my blessings and the wonderful things that have been happening in my life. Surely, life isn't perfect and there are many struggles in between, but just to wake up everyday equipped with just what I need to face the day is more than others can hope for.
Here's to making the most out of the rest of the year! *CHEERS!*
