As of this past Saturday I have officially lived in Dallas for 1 year! Wow first I just have to say this year went by so fast I can hardly believe it, it really does feel like just yesterday that I was packing up and leaving New Mexico. So much has happened this year so I think now is a great time to look back on everything:
I moved here to Dallas in the heat of the summer, the day I got here it was 105 degrees and humid as ever and I couldn't help thinking what did I get myself into with this heat. Little did I know that heat would last well into October before it started to cool down and the humidity was killer. Everyone here makes fun of me for thinking its humid but coming from less than 10% humidity to over 50% is a big difference for me and I definitely feel it. Throughout that summer I finished up the last of my graduate school classes and started on the job search. I officially landed my first full time "big girl job" at the end of the summer as a marketing coordinator and started in the working world.
Since then we moved into a new apartment and explored the city that is our new home. There are times when it is a tough adjustment for me to live here in such a big city but it is a great change from small town life. I am constantly stumbling upon new and great things and places within the metroplex, it really has a lot to offer.
In addition to working and exploring I joined the local Delta Gamma Alumni group where I have met some great people. This is something I want to continue on in the future and get more involved in. It is such a great opportunity to meet new people and stay involved in the sorority that was such a huge part of my life in college.
So many other wonderful things have happened within the last year as well such as becoming a second time Aunt, getting engaged to the man of my dreams, celebrating weddings and kids with some of my closest friends and so much more. I cant wait to see where the next year takes me here in Texas, I know this will be a year to remember as we plan our wedding and am very excited for what's to come.
