It has been 7 months since the last time I posted on here. Life caught up with me and I honestly forgot about this place.
So I guess this post will just be an update of what has happened in my life over the last 7 months and to know what has being going on in all of y'alls life.
Since my last post I have officially graduated college with a bachelor's of science in biology and psychology. I decided to stay in the mountains and I live with my boyfriend here. I got a job currently working in the activities department of a resort here. Pretty easy job, decent pay for right out of college, and full benefits so it is a pretty good decent starter job. I basically just do arts and crafts all day, we do a big event for the 4th, and just some socials here and there.
Went without a phone for a few weeks while waiting for my new google pixel 2 to be delivered because my old phone fell down the stairs at work and internally cracked. I ended up joined the YMCA with a friend I graduated college with and have lost 10 pounds since starting in September. I've gotten into some light weight lifting for now.
Everything was going great until the end of September I was in a pretty bad car wreck. The road was slick and freshly paved, I slid off the road & lost control of my car and ended up hitting a light pole. I was pretty much suspended in the ditch with only the wires from the pole holding my car up from going all the way down the embankment and into a river.It was terrifying to experience. I was trapped in my car for 15-20 minutes waiting on the electric company to get there so the first responders could get me out Honestly I should be dead. The pole fell just a few inches from my head on the inside of the car. Everyone who was on the scene and/or saw my car all thought I died and told me how incredibility lucky I am. I some how only walked away with some bruises and a lot of soreness. The only good thing that came from it is I now have a new and a lot more reliable car. I got myself a 2015 Honda crv. I am in love with it.
Now after getting over that hump with my wreck everything is going good again. I just got a new fitbit and I love it. Found out I had a ton of PTO for my job so I am getting to go home to see my family for about 5 or 6 days for Christmas.
Here is a photo of my car from my wreck.
How have all of you been?

Thank you. It was a rough for a month or so specially having to depend on others to get to gets while I looked for a new car. We don't really have public transportation where I live.

It was a shock to everyone, including me that I walked away from it. My car was definitely totaled. I did get a newer and nicer one though that I like a lot.

Your photo is gut wrenching. I am glad you are okay. Mostly I am just running to the doctor as my husband has an ongoing health issue that is scaring us to pieces.
