Well...the last time I wrote a post I was so #shocked that two years had passed since my last blog entry. The real shocker is that it's been ANOTHER two years since that post. But here I am...back again. I thought it would be best to give a *quick* update since it's been so long. Since January 2019 so much has changed and honestly I probably missed the opportunity to revisit this space in 2020 and use it as an outlet. Halfway through 2019 I started a new job and spent most of summer and fall celebrating friends and families as they got married. The year itself housed thirteen (1-3!!!!) weddings for us, which was crazy, hectic, and oh so amazing. Looking back it was such a great year for me and one that allowed for much needed change, growth, and the load of fun was just a cherry on top. Flash forward to winter and I, like all good millennials, was so excited for 2020. The term "20-20 vision" comes to mind as I recall looking forward to a year of more growth, settling into a new role on a new team at work, simply figuring out the next part of my life, and finding my 'place' again in the craziness of day to day life. Little did I know how much would change in just a few short months when the big c-word came to town. In March our whole lives shut down, we were forced to work from home, quarantine from stores, and wear masks. The worlds smartest people encouraged us to limit time we spent with our loved ones and to keep our physical distance from people to keep everyone safe and healthy. To say this was all hard for me is an understatement. By nature, I'm a busy body. I'm constantly moving, making plans, and over booking my calendar. Most weeks I'm spending more time away from home than I am at it, then all of a sudden I'm forced to do EVERYTHING from one place. I worked from home, exercised at home, socialized from home (shoutout Zoom - should have bought stock in that bad boy), literally did not leave my home. It was hard, very hard. After a few weeks and about seventeen breakdowns, I got bored. Surprising to none, I needed something to do. This would have been a great time to revisit this blog, but instead I started my Master's program and am happy to say that in six (hopefully short) months I'll be finished! Beginning the program during the pandemic wasn't the hard part, it was adjusting to the time commitment after returning to work, and a daily commute just shy of two hours, once I was back in the office. This program has challenged me and allowed for me to continue my education which is something I always wanted to do. I feel beyond blessed to be enrolled and to be able to learn and build my knowledge bank up for the future. I am currently in a social media marketing class, which is what prompted me to return to E's Guide To. In the coming weeks I'll be posting a few blogs to share with my colleagues and professor. I really do enjoy posting here and I hope that even after my MBA I can come back to this space and be creative. That's all for now - you'll hear from me soon, for real this time!! As always you can keep up with me on Instagram. P.S. I also got ENGAGED this year....but more to come on that late :)
