Breathe, Stretch, Shake, Let it Go

I just saw this quote on Yellow Brick Blog and I think it's perfectly applicable for this stage in my life right now. Yes, I thought I'd be engaged at homecoming. Yes, I wanted to have a job by Christmas (at the latest). We're still not officially engaged and I'm still unemployed. But guess what? I'm learning to roll with the punches and love the life that's in front of me.

I love Mr. SE and have loved him since he wished on a shooting star "that I'd be his wife" in 2006. The purse strings got a little tight with Q4's financial downturn, but we're still planning for a future. Companies aren't throwing jobs at new grads like in '06, '07, and '08. But I didn't get discouraged and settle for a lifetime of something that didn't interest me. I've tried to keep a positive outlook and maintain a focus on the things that make me happy. I think there's some good things in store for the SE's in these next couple months.
