It's been awhile...

WOWWWW.

Has it really been over 2 months since I last posted?? How very un-awesome of me!

I do apologize! I know my few readers have contacted me and asked me whats up, and why i haven't been posting--I can attribute most of it, to life stress in general haha.

How about a brief update to get us all caught up!

Since the end of May, I've continued with my new position as Door Supervisor, it becoming ever so difficult and challenging along the way. I flew home for a week at the end of June, and flew back in tears and heartache over leaving home/David. I almost made the decision to stay in Banff for only a month longer, at least until David visited me one more time (which we had planned to be for the end of July). Every day was a teary one, and not very good for blog writing to say the least!

My good highschool friend Kendra had moved with her boyfriend Brett, to Calgary during this time, and we've gotten together and visited a few times since. She is a blessing in my life--we're quite opposite in some areas, personality wise, yet, we've seem to grown into thinking on the same level in terms of life morals, and dreams and goals for ourselves. We're both over the partying and irresponsibility, we both want to focus on our relationships and our current/future careers. I'm really thankful for her and stoked she lives in Calgary now!

I've also acquired some new dreams and goals for myself over the past few months: I can't stop thinking about being a flight attendant for WestJet, and how beneficial it would be for me and where I am in my life right now!

Let's look at the pro's:

• I would live in Calgary, rather then Banff (which I have unfortunately grown to dislike very much this summer, due to all of the raging party kids who I happen to have absolutely nothing in common with--for the most part), which is amazing because I need a city again! Calgary is a growing community with hard workers and a minimal party scene--unless you're looking for it.
• I would still be independently living out west, but have the opportunity to experience other cities all over North America at no cost.
• I'm not the most stable of people, and I think being a flight attendant isn't the most stable career--hopping around from city to city and never working with the same person twice (at least not often)!
• I could fly home to see my family at no cost
  
• I could fly to Vancouver to be with David at no cost
• I could fly my family/friends out here, at a minimal cost
  
• I would be working with people, and serving people--one of my passions.
  

I believe I am fully capable of being one of their best employees. However, I know that in order to get this current dream job of mine, I need to put my time in at the Fairmont and finish up with them on good terms. Sure, almost everyday I want to pack up and leave, go home and/or follow David around... but that is the easy/irresponsible/short-term-pleasure way. I know that if I want what my heart REALLY wants for myself in the future, then honoring my contracts, and continuing to get through this challenge without quitting, is the only way to go.

I mentioned earlier that David will be in Vancouver--it's true, he's moving there at the end of August to take part in a college program for cinematography. His passions are filming and snowboarding, so he really doesn't need to be anywhere BUT Vancouver I think! I'm happy that he'll technically only be just over an hour away... by plane.

I'll leave you now with the link to my Dad's new blog, 'Finding Freedom'. Take a look and bookmark it, cause I guarantee it will only be beneficial to your life!
