Crossroad...

So, as anyone can tell, I am not too hip to the blogging scene. I like the concept and really wish I could come on here a little more often, but the reality is, I dont. For anyone that cares, I will make a conscious effort!

Well, my life so far. I have an amazing boyfriend, who I have been dating for a year. He would like me to move to Michigan with him next year. I dont know what to do. I am through and through a Southern California girl. Born in HB spent some time in Santa Ana, 7 years in Bakersfield and now 6 years in San Diego. Its the only thing I know. I dont know cold. I dont do jackets. My shoe collection consists of 5 pairs of rainbow sandels. I mean seriously, how would I survive?

Also, work is REALLY picking up for me right now. My boss had an ingenious idea and we are taking over quite a large amount of business. All because no one had thought of this before. We are talking 300 new accounts in the course of this next year. That does not take into account the inquiries we get normally. For instance, I probably sent out 5-7 files last night to be quoted. Its only the beginning of the month. Its a steady business... the sad reality is everyone needs insurance in our sue happy society!

The insurance industry is not where I want to stay though. I really havent found what I am passionate about. I used to play softball. I played two years at a junior college and I really wanted to go on from there, but I was just burnt out of all the politics of the game. I honestly can say that I got screwed my last year of playing... it is really sad when you have the person playing over you say to you that they dont know why I am not out there and they are! Nice, right? Thanks coach. From that point on I havent really figured out what I wanted to do. I have been crippled.

I will say, I love to cook. I wouldnt mind opening a restaurant in Michigan, should I chose to move. We keep joking about it, but I really think it would be a fun thing to do. The problem is that there are a lot of restaurants out there and I know its make or break that first year. I dont know so many different choses and I am just not sure what to do.

I also have a couple other things holding me back, I have one ADORABLE niece. She just turned 2. I couldnt bare not being around her growing up. Right now I live 3 hours from her and it is tough enough as it is. When I am on the phone I can hear her ask for me in the background. That kind of thing can break your heart!!

So what to do... I guess I will sit and ponder it a little more. Its sad to think, life would be so much easier if we would have just never met, but do I mean that. Not on my life! He is amazing and I cherish every day with him... I guess it just one of those crossroads in life. The question is where do I go?
