Let's begin again...

Today is the LAST day of my winter break before a WHOLE NEW semester begins!

I'm excited to "begin again"...That's sort of been the theme of 2010 for my life so far. Something about this new years ( and I think there are multiple factors as to why) has made me so excited to begin this new year, I feel refreshed, inspired, almost empowered...like the world is at my finger tips!

2009 felt like the year that was all about setting up 2010 to make sure I had all my ducks in a row...I eliminated the factors in my life that were only bringing in negativity or holding me back, I found the most important people in my life who make me happy, and inspire me to be a better and truer me.

After a few years of some unfortunate choices and experiences in the Romantic genre of Dana's world, I have wound up with the one person who I think fits me better than anyone else ever could. I kept telling myself that when the right one came along I would just know. I wouldn't have to push or force anything to happen, I wouldn't have to question or go against any morals or bad feelings...it would just WORK, and it would feel RIGHT.

And now I have you :) And you are more wonderful than I could have imagined.

It took a past history of ups and downs for us, separation and then a brand new beginning but every part of it brought us to where we are now, and I couldn't be more thankful for that. You make me so happy, just knowing you're there.

The waiting game sucks, its a lonely, foggy road where you can only see a few steps in front of you, sometimes it feels like the fog will never clear but when it does, you want to turn around and look your past self in the eyes and say " Relax! It's gonna be OKAY."

So my motto for this semester is " LET'S BEGIN AGAIN"

My goals and what I look forward to:

1. New classes with new professors and new knowledge
2. The Irene Ryan Festival, just making it there and competing with confidence
3. Making it into The Waiting Room, or even just Siera, she deserves this more than anyone I know...I mean it...not just because you are my best friend and you read my blog, but because you are so talented and this school needs to see you shine like I know you do.
4. Being with the best boyfriend I could ever have, just being happy, and waking up with a smile knowing I have you in my life.

Here we go 2010, let's get to business ;)
