Well…I guess nearly two months after my last post…I should write a new post. Especially seeing as how there actually is plenty to post about. So many good things, too. Great things, to be honest.
Anyone close to me knows this already, but since my last post I have started and am in a relationship one fantastic Ben Goodman. To put it frankly, being with Ben is amazing. He’s an intelligent, funny, talented, and above all caring boyfriend. He’s a professional ballet dancer with the Eugene Ballet Company, and in our nearly two months of being together we’ve already had to do some long distance work and survived. Ben went on tour with the Ballet for the majority of December around the Pacific Northwest, so for three and a half weeks we were only able to call each other and text. Currently he’s in Colorado visiting his family, and comes back January 21st. Which clearly I have marked, circled, and prepped to be a day I can tackle him with kisses.
In all honesty, he and I getting together was one of the most amazing things. In particular because, for the first time ever, I actually was able to date someone before we became any sort of a thing or definition. We went on several dates, ranging from coffee to dinner and a movie to a concert and home cooked meal. After having all recent memories of meeting people not involving any sort of date, or having a date be beyond awkward and ridiculous, this relationship and everything about it has made me overwhelmingly happy. In case anyone had been wondering…yes. I’m happy.
Work through the holidays was- you guessed it- ridiculous. Crazy. Exhausting. Painful. Amazing. I say amazing because I survived it, mainly. Also amazing because through it all, I gave further demonstration to my bosses that I am a hard worker and a worker worth investing in. Not only did my area have major sales gains, but I helped lead our store to being the number one Macy’s in Levi’s sales for the state of Oregon. With that also came word that I would be a test store for new high end men’s jeans from Lucky, Ben Sherman, and Buffalo. Work is amazing because I achieve things that many didn’t think we could achieve, and am getting recognized for it. Now it just depends on how much I can further show why I should be considered to move up in the world of Macy’s.
Ok…that’s the extent of this update. I’m gonna try and be better with updating. Hopefully? Maybe? Or something.
Much Love,
K.E.
