*Tony Toni Tone voice* Its my anniversary…
The crazy part is that I JUST checked how long I’ve had this blog literally this morning and found out that today marks exactly 1 year. So I feel like I should reflect on what I’ve been through since that time.
The trials & tribulations of purchasing a home
I had the LUCK of having to go through this twice. For the first house I bought, which was just being built, the property management company wound up going out of business and filing bankruptcy. They released their entire staff and pushed everyone out of escrow, regardless of how far in they were. Thankfully I was only a week or 2 in at the time. It still sucked very hard. Luckily, I wound up finding this gem of a house that was a foreclosure. As some of you may know, foreclosure homes are normally ransacked and trashed. This one was immaculate, had a similar design to what I wanted, and a very reasonable price. Sold. Homeownership becomes me.
Inauguration
I was blessed to be able to watch our 1st Black President be inaugurated in the frozen tundras of DC in January. Even tho it was cold and incredibly costly, I’m so so glad I went. What a glorious event.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament
Finally had surgery to repair my ACL on my left knee. I tore it like in 2005 and it was finally giving me enough trouble to have it done. More screws for my left leg (already have 2 in my ankle). Feel like I’m on the way to becoming Inspector Gadget or something.
30 Rock
Lastly, I turned 30 which I’m loving. It does come with a lot of “baggage” tho. More & more friends are married and/or with children. More and more of the younger kids I watched over are now college grads or are about to be. That mess makes you feel O.L.D. Parents are also pressing me harder about kids and stuff. Yikes. I just wanna live!!
There are of course many other things, including some that I would change, but I try to keep looking forward. Thanks for reading!
