Well I am going to be slightly cliche and post a happy new year post on my blog...so, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010! Last night my family, Jake and I went to the New Year's Eve party at Home Run where we all played lots of pool, air hockey, and shot of fireworks in front of the shop. It was fun, and we did not get to bed til about 3 AM. Then we had to wake up early this morning because some family friends who we have not seen in a couple of years were in town and came to visit. So I guess I don't really need to point out that I'm a little more than tired; I even ended up dozing off on the floor in the family room earlier (all the seats were taken :( ). If this were any other year I may not be as excited about it, but this year (I'm hoping) will hold many opportunities and defining points in my life, although I hope that every year will be that way for me. I'm graduating this year from NMSU and will be starting that era of life called career. That means I will soon have to figure out what I want to start with job-wise so I can begin sending out resumes. I probably need to go visit the career counseling and exploration center on campus, because I definitely need some help. And I know I don't need to figure out "my calling" yet, but I should start thinking about what I want to begin with.
Changing subjects. So my parents have been wanting to get a kitten since all three of us "kids" will finally be out of the house at the same time, and they want another companion. I went to Albuquerque with my parents from Wednesday to Thursday to do some after-Christmas shopping, and we stopped at the Santa Fe shelter (where my aunt works) on the way back yesterday. My parents were wanting one male kitten, and we came back home with two females instead :) My aunt had one on hold for them that she thought they would like (a 2-3 month old orange tabby), and my mom fell in love with her. Meanwhile, my dad decided to just go "look around" at the other cats, and one black and white kitten (6 months old) in particular caught his eye, so he took it back to where my mom was and this one just flopped down in his arms and fell asleep. So they ended up with both lol! The younger one likes to follow the older one around and is very shy and was really scared when we first brought her, but she is starting to enjoy human company a little more and exploring the house bit by bit. The older one, on the other hand, seems completely comfortable with anyone in any situation. As soon as we let her out of the crate when we got home, she did not seem nervous at all, just curious, and will go up to everyone to cuddle and rub her head against. They are both very sweet. I will post pictures in one of my next blogs.
I hope you all have a wonderful 2010!
