Colt  has been asleep for the past two hours, which has been absolutely glorious. I love this little guy, but he can definitely be a handful, so a little break every now and then is definitely appreciated.

Speaking of breaks, in less than two weeks, I will be in Ohio for Colt's birthday party. It will only be for about 4 days, but I am so excited to see my parents and a couple of friends!

What I really can't wait for, is my family vacation in July! Last year was one of the best years that I can remember, so I'm hoping that this year is even better. It is only 13 weeks away, so it will be here before I know it! When I get back from vacation, I'm hoping to spend a month in Ohio with my family, before returning to North Carolina to start my new awesome job, whatever that may be.

I'm really optimistic about the future and this summer and just life in general. Things are going so much better than I imagined that they would, and I am so happy that I decided to come here and be here with Charlotte and Colt and to make a life here for myself.

I can't wait to see where my dreams lead me, but I know that no matter what happens I have the best family and friends that I could ever ask for, so I will always be happy.

I can't believe it is April already! Time is just going by way to quickly!

Colt will be one in about a month, which is just insane to me! That also means that I've lived in North Carolina for almost a year, I've been done with college for almost a year, and that it is almost time for me to start searching for my next job.

I found a really awesome website with thousands of job listings for this area. It is all so intimidating. This is the real world.

Before, when I was looking for jobs, or thinking about where I wanted to work, it was all about making money to pay for college or to do fun things. Now though, I have to think about my future. What kind of job will get me where I want to be? What kind of job do I need to pay for the kind of lifestyle I want to have. And, are those jobs even out there?

The next few months are going to be scary. But this is it. This is what I've worked for, and what I've been waiting for.
