Hello hello!

Wow, has it really been that long? Four months, since my last entry here. Nils asked me why I haven't written anything in a long time. The truth is, there is not much to write about. My life is the same old stuff. I do have a temporary gig for the time being. I'm trying to be a really good sponge and pick things up as fast as I can. Hopefully this experience will help me land something permanent. Well, I know that it will. Sometimes during the day, it makes me smile when I'm reminded that I am now in marketing. :) It's what I've always wanted to do. Once again, God has answered my prayer. I really am lucky. We'll see how much I like it, and more importantly, whether I will kick ass like I did with engineering. I'll let you know in a few years.

Nils is away in the UK this week. I'm home alone, reading, keeping up with my tv shows, and obsessing about (1) getting out of debt (2) locating the car I'm going to buy, and (3) getting my current car ready for sale. All exciting stuff! I do miss Nils, though. Now that I'm used to having him around everyday, it feels really quiet when he's not here. I can't be arguing by myself, now, can I? We have settled into a lifestyle. I was going to say routine, but it's not the routine that we've settled down into. I think it's the established boundaries, ways of (mis)communicating, and knowing where the tripwires are, that make it feel like we've gotten over the adjustment period. It's nice. It certainly wasn't true when we got married, but now, Nils really is my best friend. Heck, he's my only friend friend in New Jersey! I'm still not a fan of the 'burb, but I like the fact that it's cheap. And that, ladies and gentlemen, will allow Nils and I to be free soon. We've already paid off Petronas, and will be done with my MBA loan in a few months (insyaallah). I'm sick of staring at the sticky notes on my wall. I put one post-it note for each thousand that I owe for my MBA, and now that I'm working, they're coming off the wall fast and furious! After that, only the mortgage left, and we'll be home free. Yeay!!! Wish us luck! And wish me luck, hopefully my current work gets extended again!

Our soon-to-be-gone debt post-its!
