Now you know why I jammed out to Elvis prior to this posting?  I’ve been in the Elvis mood since yesterday from the Elvis Run.  They actually had a man dressed up as Elvis but I couldn’t get a good enough picture.  It was pretty awesome though.  

It’s weird when I look at pictures like this of myself.  I look at my first posts as a blogger back in 2010 and I look like such a child, especially with the outfits too.  Then I look at pictures like this of my work outfits and think “wow, I’ve really evolved and changed.”  I honestly never thought I would make it to where I am today.  I keep saying that I used to blog but life got in the way and I went MIA for a few years.  It’s because I was getting so down on myself that I didn’t want it to show in my posts.  I was going to Grad School and couldn’t find a job.  I mean I worked as a retail store manager for $13.00 an hour and getting part time hours because other people had seniority and were getting full time hours.  I just felt so horrible about myself.  People actually made me feel terrible for studying for my MBA and not having a glamorous job.  I kept telling myself you can’t give up because everything happens for a reason.  My fiance (now ex) and I split and I just felt even worse.  

So since my student loans kicked in I started working more than one job while still attending Grad School.  I was very hard on  myself because I felt like a failure.   Then some more personal things happened, and Texas happened.  All of this within a 3 year span.  Finally I landed my big girl job (at least what I like to call it) this past December.  All of those blood, sweat, and tears finally paid off.  

There’s no real reason to why I just told you that story.  If you follow my blog you’ve heard parts of it before.  I guess I just want all of you to know that one day all of your hard work will pay off.  Never ever give up.  

Sorry for rambling, and thanks for reading!
