Happy Thanksgiving!


Hi friends!

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone is ready to get their feast on as well as reflect on the things we are thankful for. As I look back on this past year, I am so thankful for all the amazing and supportive people in my life.

Parents. I am so thankful that my parents were so understanding with my recent move to San Diego. They have always been parents that allowed me to live my own life and for that I am so grateful.

Tony. I am so thankful to have someone that would bend over backwards to make sure I'm ok. With my recent move to San Diego, he's been the best (especially with all the cleaning :D and) at making sure I'm not too homesick. He is my best friend (although it would help if he could reference some Friends episodes lol), my confidant, and he makes me feel like I "shine bright like a diamond" :D (he's totally going to kill me for the reference since he hates that song lol).

Friends. I am extremely grateful and thankful for my friends. I don't have very many friends but the few that I have mean the world to me. Most of them have seen me through thick and thin. They've seen me through so many hardships and I could never thank them enough.

Job. Despite how stressful the job is sometimes, I am grateful that at least I have a job. I'm also grateful for all my colleagues at work who display such positive enthusiasm in times of chaos. Yesterday (the day before Thanksgiving), we had lines of at least 10-15 people waiting to pick up their medications all day long. Everyone kept a positive attitude (including the customers!) and everyone went home with what they needed.

Our New Home. I am so happy to have finally moved down to San Diego. It's been a long time coming and I thought I was going to be thrown off my "timeline" but fortunately everything worked out perfectly. I will post pictures of our new home soon!



Thank you all for reading! And have a splendid Thanksgiving!

happy thanksgiving!!

Hi all!

Gobble gobble!

Just wanted to wish everyone a very fun and safe Thanksgiving! I actually have to head into work in a few and then I have to work on Black Friday bright and early as well so it's not really a long weekend for me. However! After working Black Friday, I won't have to work again until Thursday next week! So I think that evens out lol.

December will be quite hectic in terms of funding as student loans will be out of grace in addition to the holiday shopping. I really should have been paying off my student loans since I started working but I wanted to save a little money first. Oh well. My first payment is quite hefty too... $1700 and that's not including my undergrad loans (yes.. $1700 only covers grad school loans O_O). And they've been cutting my hours too... I only work 3 days a week. I guess I'll have to cut down on my spending to make up for it. I'm hoping I'll get a nice tax break being that I only worked like 4 months out of the whole year. I need to capitalize on this year's tax break since this will be the only one I'll probably be getting.

Side note: has anyone else noticed that Mint.com won't sync with the new Direct Loans site?? I'm having a fit entering all my info a billion times. If anyone has figured this shit out, please let me know. As much as I like looking at the amount of money I have in the bank without including my loans, its definitely not very realistic lol.

ANYWAYS lol. Enough with my financial worries. I have to start packing up my stuff as I'm heading down to San Diego to celebrate Thanksgiving with Tony's family since my family doesn't really celebrate any holidays.

Again, Happy Thanksgiving! And may the happiest season of the year begin!! **can you tell I fricken love this time of year?!!!**
