She Can't Make Up Her Mind

Guess who got their own domain again? Me! Lol, many of you who follow my blogspot blog know that prior to this I owned my own domain (lovekiara.info) for a year (also andkiara.com for about 2 years before that), then it expired and I didn't feel the need to renew it. I thought blogger would be better for me because it was free and simple. I wasn't really into blogging as much as I used to be so I didn't think I needed anything more than what blogger offered. But I was wrong! Blogger has been good to me but I miss the flexibility and complexity of Wordpress. I've been using Wordpress for years now and I just can't stay away for too long. Wordpress is honestly the best platform for blogging. Also, I missed having my own simple domain so I bought a new one. Almost like my last domain but with a .com extension instead. So, this is goodbye Blogger (once again). Find me at my new url: lovekiara.com. Nothing's changed, just the domain!

Catching Up

Long time, no post! I can't believe it's literally been two months since I've last blogged.. I guess you can say time got away from me. But, a lot of exciting things have happened in my life since I last blogged and I can only thank God for everything he has done. Here's just a quick little update.

Since October...

• I got my first car! My parents bought me a 2005 Chevy Malibu in November and I am very very grateful for that, especially since I don't even have a job (yet) to pay for gas. 
• Received an official starting day for work: February 19th (I know, so far). I mentioned in a much earlier post that I got a job as an assistant to a woman who is starting an event planning business. Of course it has been a process but I'm glad that things are finally coming along!
• For the first time in years, I spent Thanksgiving with my entire immediate family (immediate aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.). We were all kind of uneasy that my grandmother could not join us but it felt good to have the family all together again! Losing the meaning and value of family is terrible and I never want that to happen to my family because out of all the things my grandmother taught us all, the most important was that family comes first. I seriously had the best week ever with them.. didn't want to come back to Georgia!
• My senior year of cheerleading has begun! Lots of memories to be made and  of course, seniority privileges :)
• Finished my five college applications before winter break. Goal accomplished!
• Speaking of applications, I got my first acceptance letter today! Not to mention, it was from my top choice out of the colleges I've applied to: Georgia State University. I still haven't come down from the high the words "Accepted" gave me. Too excited!
• Finals are next week for me, then I'm done with semester (currently have all A's for all my classes). Only five more months until graduation!!!
• My favorite holiday season is here: Christmas Season! This is the most wonderful time of the year, for sure! Happy Holidays, everyone :)
