My father says that two years ago he would have never believed my life would be the way it is in 2006.
I am quite surprised myself, looking back on the growth that has come from a specific chain of events starting in November 2003.
Two and a half years later I am a lot more responsible after taking ownership for my actions and happiness. That joy has been helped out thanks to a change of scenery and the opportunity to professionally recharge my batteries and discover new challenges.
For years I struggled and sacrificed to win a losing battle at work. My previous employer was a company plagued by bad product, bad lawsuits and a bad reputation. Today I work in a shop that the AP named Outstanding News Operation for large markets in Ohio. It's nice to be finally fighting the good fight.
This weekend I learned that I have officially been accepted into the Cincinnati Junior League's 2006-2007 provisional class. That's an opportunity I am really hoping to take advantage of. I'll learn more about my community, I'll meet some new people and I will hopefully develop some contacts beneficial for work.
And after years of patience, I have finally met a great guy who at the very least is worthy of my weekend free time. I don't want to put too much pressure or anticipate too much about the situation, at the same time, it's great to to be comfortable and confident in a relationship.
Hard work always pays off. Maybe not where and when you think it will, but somehow fate (and faith) manages to reward the people who deserve it.

That's similar to what Carson Daly said.
--My name is Earl.
Earl, welcome to the blog!
I didn't know Carson Daly was so astute. Either that, or he can predict my thoughts before they're hatched!
