Bombshells and hand grenades.

It's been a year since I last updated my blog. SHAME. A lot has changed this past year.

I have a new and improved neck (yay!), a new house, a new job that I love and I'm currently single for the first time in my adult life. Yes, I'm 30 years old and I'm single for the first time since the pager era. Crazy.

While I know this seems shocking and sudden to most of you, I assure you, it isn't. Here's what you need to know:

1.) We're healthy

2.) We're happy

3.) The rest ain't none of your business

Moving on.

I've come to realize a few things of great importance the past few months. Your family and friends are your biggest support system when you need someone to lean on - and while you can't pick who is in your bloodline - you certainly can choose who you surround yourself with in life and friendship. These people will hold you up, wipe your tears, laugh with you and shake you down to your core when all of the above is needed. They love you unconditionally, stand beside the choices you make and don't give unsolicited advice... but if you ask - watch out, it's comin'. They don't judge the choices you've made, don't speak behind your back to others the moment you've walked away... they're just there. To listen. To love. To be.

That's quality. I'll take that over quantity any day.
