is this real life?

it's been almost exactly four months since I made predictions about my life. well... here's where I'm at today:

moved into a 2-story townhome in Des Moines with Morgan from high school. it's near the Marina. 5 minutes from the freeway. north of Kent. it's spacious and cute and everything I could have asked for as far as living quarters in my early 20's go.

I got a fulltime job at Nordstrom Direct. I'm a Customer Service Specialist, meaning I take calls about everything anyone could ever ask of Nordstrom. the paychecks are nice and I work in downtown Seattle.

I met someone. he is funny and adorable and caring and adventurous and such a happy spirit. I don't know why he chooses to love me, but he does. I spent a long time questioning everything I knew about love but I guess I just needed the right person to come along. he makes me believe in good things again.

there were nights I'd stay awake wondering if I'd ever get my life together. I wondered how the pieces would fit together or if I'd even make it to 22. but here I am. I put effort into loving my life again and things started to fall in place. I am genuinely happy. I wake up each morning and smile because for the first time in forever, I like where I am at. it's the best feeling ever.
