February

Sometimes I judge myself for not thinking of better titles for my blog posts... but honestly, I can't handle that kind of stress here people!
For those of you keeping track at home- yes I'm still in Arizona! Still happy as a clam! I've only had one really bad night here in the month in which I have inhabited in this blessed state... and it was my own fault since I accidentally fell asleep on my beloved boyfriend. Ladies, if you ever need a way to seriously upset your significant other I recommend this option.
Staying positive though! I've had a really awesome first couple of weeks at enterprise (yes, We will pick you up). I've meet some amazing people and they have just made my experience ten times better! I met the coolest lady from Africa, someone who lawn bowls... Whatever that is!, this one guy who travels all over the world dealing with dead people's wills... I mean if you ever want a place to meet people- enterprise is that place. For real though, it is so fun and the company is really good to their employees. There are always ten thousand competitions going on to win tickets to games, gift cards or just to leave half an hour early and I love it! Today I got to go out to a country club in Scottsdale and have lunch with about 18 other MT's (Management Trainees).
In other news I recently purchased a gym pass. I'm really excited about that... on my good days.
Aside from my job, the biggest portion of my time is spent with Julio. Now I know I know... you're probably sitting there at home being all like, "Dude...... Kady, you never for reals date someone!... Who are you?!" And I'll tell you! It's been a while since I really gave someone a chance, like an honest chance at being my boyfriend. Julio was the first person I really met in Arizona and I don't think that was 100% by chance. He is so great and makes everyday better... I sound like a big ole cheddar cheeseball.... but for real! He got me two bouquets of flowers for valentines day and is so sweet, and fun that there is no way I could not have given him a chance, and if anyone ever deserved one it would be him. Here's the cincher though- I found this awesome guy- seriously he's amazing, but he's going on his mission this summer. That would be my luck right?!? It's hard for me to imagine this place without him, but I know he's going to do incredible things out there.
All in all dear readers, February has been one indescribable month filled with the hustle and bustle of work, hugs and loves and a really cute package from my mom in the mail- so who could compain?! Not this girl. 

Happy is an Understatement

My dear friends and readers,
The month of January 2013 has been an incredible whirlwind. It could be described as the Hurricane Sandy of my life, but with some major differences... There where no deaths, power outages or overall bad feelings. So really it was just very life changing I guess!
I made a big life move and up and drove myself across the country to the Phoenix, Arizona area. As I sat in my car to leave my New York driveway for who knows how long I thought to myself, "You are crazy. You have honestly lost your mind. You are leaving all of your family, for a life you don't even know if you'll like."
As I stopped and visited with friends across the country and told them of my plans I received a lot of support, but also a lot of questions like, "You don't have a job?" "Aren't you scared?" "What if you hate it?" and Yes I didn't have a job, I was terrified and if I hated it well.... yeah.
The thing is people I love it.

This is our house!

I love Arizona. I love the people here, the weather, my job at Enterprise, my roommates, our house, my new boyfriend ;),  the trips I've already taken, the food, everything. I am so incredibly grateful that I sucked up my fears, moved out of my little nest of safety in New York and came here! Aside from college, this is probably the scariest, but most rewarding thing I've ever done.

You can't really tell, but I got bangs!

Pooks and Pooks reunited, this is the night we went country dancing!

the best view in the valley, from Camel-back Mountain.

We like to play Jenga and watch disney movies.

If I had any suggestions to you my dear friends it'd be to do what scares you, but prepared because going outside of your comfort zone can often times make you so happy.
