Today is June 24, that means all kinds of things:
It’s halfway to CHRISTMAS! Well, Christmas Eve which I count as Christmas because it is my absolute favorite day of the year. It holds promise and magic and good food and family and presents! Last Christmas Eve was a little weird because I didn’t get to enjoy it much at all – I was working retail and stuck working all day. This year will be different because I have a non-retail job and will be able to take the whole darn day off!
To that end, today is another milestone; I’ve been at this job 90 days and was given insurance, vacation and holiday information.
I’ve always liked the 24th but now it holds a special significance for me. Today happens to be my 10 month Florida anniversary. Ten months ago today, after a three day drive from the Chicago burbs to the great state of Florida, I woke up in a new bed, in a new apartment, in new state with my Michael by my side. The 24th was my first full day in the state as a resident starting my brand new adventure with my Michael. I’m awful mushy about it but I’m so glad I took this wild leap and moved halfway across the country to try making a life with him.
