Things To Look Forward To

Since Thanksgiving I have been in a funk. I have been depressed and negative about the world. I spend most of my time sleeping. That is when I am not working.In order to break myself out of this I am trying to focus on the things that I am looking forward to. 

First, I was looking forward to Christmas vacation an seeing my family. Then I was looking forward to February vacation.I had an AWESOME February vacation. That first Saturday I went out dancing with some ladies that I work with. Then the next day was Valentine's Day so Garrett and I had a wonderful date night. I saw dad and my brothers on Monday. Then I cleaned Tuesday. Wednesday I saw mom. Thursday I went out to lunch with Mel, Chad, and Jaylynn. Then Friday I cleaned up the apartment some more and hung out with Louis that night. The next day we went to Boston!

Boston was so much fun! We went to Dave and Busters. Then we walked around Quincy Market before getting dinner. After dinner we went to a dueling piano bar. Then we saw an improv comedy show before driving back. Sunday Garrett and I had lunch with dad, Michelle, Cory, Kennedy, and Dan. We were sore and tired but it was worth it. 

Now that February vacation is over I am looking forward to the next exciting things in my life. I have been asked to go out dancing with my work friends again on March 12th. Louis is trying to get together with Garrett and Chad to play games so Mel and I might have a girls day. Then there is April vacation. That is when mom and I are going to get our tattoos. Then in May Garrett and I will be returning to Boston for our Red Sox vs Yankees game. 

The most exciting thing is going to happen after the school year is over. Garrett and I are going to DISNEY in FLORIDA!! I will be going out of New England for the first time. I will be riding a plane for the first time. I will be going to Disney for the first time. We will be celebrating both my birthday and our first wedding anniversary while we are there. 

I am trying really hard to keep my focus on these things. If I don't then I know that I will be sucked back into the vortex of being depressed. I have a lot of great things happening in my life. I shouldn't be so .... down. Yes, I am constantly exhausted by my job. And yes, I have a lot of bad days at work lately. But I also have a wonderful life outside of there. It needs to take up more of my focus and attention.
