Six.

It has been six years since I moved to Las Vegas.  It was six years exactly on September 17, so I'm a little late on the post.

Over the past six years I have endured many obstacles and challenges, both of which have been blessings and things to learn from.  I never thought that six years ago, I'd for one, still be in Vegas, and two, be as happy as I am today.

It sounds so cliche to say, but, I am such a different person than I was six years ago.

The person I was six years ago, I still remember.  Although I have changed or matured if you will, I still am the same girl with the great big heart, who loves immensely.  That is something that will never go away and never has despite all the roads I've taken in life.

I once heard somewhere that the two things to follow most in life are your gut and your heart.  Six years ago I didn't know how to decipher between the two, and I sure as hell didn't know what to do with either of them.

Nowadays however, that has all changed, and my gut and my heart go hand in hand, never letting go of one another.

A few years ago I decided that I wanted to change my life.  I decided that I wanted to do something with it, to make a difference, to stand out from the rest of the crowd.  And a few years ago, my whole life changed, and I have never regretted a single minute of it.

Today, life is great.  It's better than great.  I'm not always happy and I don't always have the greatest of days, and I am perfectly okay with that.

In a few short weeks another anniversary will be on the horizon.  I will be celebrating my sixth year of real love, amazing love, the kind of love that changes you only for the good, with the love of my life.

It's strange and funny to think how much time has flown by, and how much my life has changed in all the ways I never thought possible.  And to think it has all been possible because I chose six years ago to change my life.

The greatest decision I have ever made was done so six years ago.  And I am a better woman because of it.
