I also quit a job that I was crazy about and so many amazing co-workers that I still miss \u2013 <em>thank goodness for Facebook! <\/em>&#8211; with the promise of a brighter future in South Florida.<\/p>\n<p>I graduated from East Carolina University with my MBA degree and discovered that I really do love networking and database coding\/ design. It&#8217;s always been a bit of a passion of mine to do graphics and web design, but I had no idea that I liked databases as well. We didn&#8217;t do anything with either the degree or the newfound passion, but maybe in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>I moved from gorgeous hilly, cool-weathered Chapel Hill, NC back to hot, sticky Miami &#8211; the place I swore I&#8217;d never live again &#8211; but with a then-fiance in tow. We helped my folks with their mortgage and saved up some cash. Because of this move, I expanded my online circle and met some truly amazing people &#8211; yay Twitter! &#8211; and rekindled old friendships in the area.<\/p>\n<p>I also spent 6 days in Las Vegas with the love of my life, my younger brother and his girlfriend [whom I already consider a sister] for our itty bitty wedding and honeymoon. It was totally fun and low-key and, quite frankly, addicting! We all can&#8217;t wait to go back to Vegas. Hopefully we can follow up this trip with an anniversary trip in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>You also brought me some severe financial problems. You see, I&#8217;ve been looking for a job for 16 months now. 16 very long months. Sure sure, I started before you were around, but also during your entire existence, so I can still throw it in here. My goals and focus for this elusive job has been ever changing and now I just want something that can pay my bills, but that&#8217;s 2011&#8217;s problem now!<\/p>\n<p>I did want another tattoo during your lifetime, but that will have to also wait until 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the memories. The good most certainly outweigh the bad!<br \/>\nLove,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear 2010, You were an amazing year for me.
