This year has seen a lot of changes coming into the life of my fiance and I: Landing a higher paying job, quitting my current one, college coming to a close for Dara, prepping to begin our lives in Colorado, making plans for our wedding. Today was my last day at Publix, after working there for six years; in many ways, it felt like a second home to me for several years before I started yearning to move on to bigger things in my life. Soon, I shall be transitioning over to Sprint, where I shall be full-time and making a significant amount of money to help fund the big move.

Today, perhaps by just strange coincidence, my grandfather passed. The man had been fighting for his life for a few months now, suddenly getting better only to fall back into illness. My mom is with her mother currently, and plans for a funeral are underway. Its weird, sitting back and taking all this in, I guess big changes can really hit you in odd ways. Right now I just feel a little numb, and quite anxious. I'll miss my grandfather, but I'm glad he's not suffering any longer.

I plan on putting out more videos when I have the time, our new internet service is far faster than anything we've gotten out here before, and it will enable me to upload new content at an accelerated rate. I just felt like writing these thoughts down, as huge things seem to be just around the corner for Dara and I.

We don't know what the future holds for us, but we're diving into it together.
