WTF just happened?!?!

It's been a whirlwind of events, but on April 9, 2015, my Dad was reunited with his brother (William Olander), who passed away in 1989.

I still don't know how to comprehend what has just happened. He had been in the hospital sick for the past few weeks, but I didn't think he would be gone so quickly.

My Dad was truly one of my best friends, biggest supporter, and my mentor. He was the one person I have always been able to turn to for advice. And the one person who has always told me how it is, regardless if I want to hear it or not.

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do. My Mom, while she's a strong woman, is completely falling apart already.

I have a feeling being an only child is really going to suck for awhile....

Starting Fresh

I've recently moved back to the cities, started a new job, and I finally feel like my life is back on track towards where I want to be.


I was in a relationship for the past 4 years that took me to rural Minnesota. While there are many things I loved about living in the country, I am truly a City Girl at heart. It's been difficult distancing myself from him, but it's what's best for me and what I needed to do in order for me to be happy.

With these changes, came the re-discovery of myself and the discovery of an amazing man who has always been in my life...but I never realized how important he would be until recently.

I was recently sought out for a position with a company that I absolutely love and am looking forward to building a long term career there.

There are still a lot of things I need to get figured out with my life, but I feel like I'm back on the track I was always meant to be on. Life seems to be progressing smoothly and I'm beginning to feel like "me" once again.
