With Christmas quickly approaching and the end of another year not far behind, I can't help but think about everything that has changed in the past few years. In just a few short years, I got engaged, got a dog, lost my job, got another dog, became a landlord, got married and moved out of my parents house. I'm feeling really grateful for everything in my life right now and it makes me truly believe that everything happens for a reason.
Last November I lost my job, it was my first "real" job and I was devastated, however it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It made me realize my previous job was not the right fit for me and the wrong career path. I just wasn't cut out for the stressful world of public accounting and I now have an accounting job that I love. A job I never would have known to look for had I not been laid off.
Around the same time, Keith and I tried to sell his current home in order to buy a house we thought was out ideal home. It didn't work out and we were so disappointed but it ended up being another example of something that was just not meant to be because there was something better to come.
Life isn't perfect and doesn't always go as planned, but I'm excited for whatever is to come and when things get tough I hope I always have faith that what is meant to be will be.
