Good morning. This post is coming to you in real time.
Remember when I said 2016 was going to be a good year? That I was going to push myself to do things I was scared to do? Well, considering my New Year only started on Feb 1, I’d say we’re off to a good start!
I don’t have a normal Coffee With Joey post today, I’ll make up for it on Friday, but I did want to share a little bit of life with you today.
You all know adulting is hard. I don’t have to tell you that. But if you would have told me this time last year that I would have just bought a car all by myself, I would not have believed you.
I know that might not seem like that big of a deal, and it probably isn’t, but I believe in celebrating the wins in life. And yesterday was a win.
We’ve had a rough go of it the last year. Leaving football and exploring new avenues has left us keeping our heads above water, but just barely. They call this type of situation a growing season in football. When you have a brand new roster and everyone is just trying to find their place. So for us, 2015 was one hell of a growing season. Just trying to get our feet on solid ground long enough to take a deep breath before the tide pulled us back under.
I don’t know when exactly it happened, or how, but we’re standing on solid ground.
I’ve been working my butt off the last year. And yesterday, it paid off.
Finally, I bought myself a car!
Buying a new car is huge! I just did this myself last year and I felt like it was huge for me! Cheers to 2016 starting off with a bang.
Congrats — You Deserve It! So proud of you!
So excited for you! (And really, it's so pretty!)
Hard work does pay off and sometimes it just takes awhile to see it I guess. It's hard to tell ourselves that when we're in the thick of it, but I'm glad this worked out for you.
Congrats on the new car lady!! I'm happy for you. I'm glad that you're doing OK too. Sending hugs your way!! 🙂
