2013 has posed to be a great year thus far and we're only 2 months in. Every year, everyone thinks this is the year good things are going to happen or big changes will be made and for the most part I think that's fair, but I really believe it happens first as a state of mind. Positive thinking proves positive results.
In our current household which held 4 and now has dwindled to 3 we've had the fortunate circumstance of having too many jobs, which goes to show you in a weak economy, determination, swallowing your pride and a little elbow grease really pays off, literally.

| Austin, Tyler, Mikey and Mitch at Winter Brew Fest |
Austin, for instance is a door guy at Rocky's, Bub's and Brewley's and before you think to scoff, these "door man" jobs have their benefits. Rocky's has by far the most amazing burgers in the world (yes I'll give it that accolade) and he gets them for free not to mention it is 5 blocks from our house so he can walk there and back and not feel guilty about ingesting that beefy goodness. Brewley's is the Official San Diego State Seminoles bar, so he's getting paid to hang out with his friends and watch FSU football. Bub's has TATER TOTS! Then he's also a brew master at Ballast Point which I've come to learn is one of the best craft brews in San Diego. That's 4 jobs under his belt, with room to save money and he's still trying to be a self-made entrepreneur and travel the world.
Mikey, moved here and within 3 weeks was working as a Barista at a pretty hip new spot The Lab (it just sounds cool and it's even better that he was at the foundation of the company). In addition he's a customer service rep at Expedia.com, "Hello Free Points to Fly for FREE" and he's also the door guy at Rocky's, like I said their burgers are good.

Then there's Tyler and I who have corporate jobs and still seek access to the limitless sky. Before Christmas he got a well-deserved promotion at his company and has just been the apple of his employers' eye for the past few weeks. He really pushed through and proved that he deserved the promotion that they rejected months prior and his determination paid off. Then within a few weeks he was interviewing for a company in San Francisco and landed that dream job!
And me, well I'm so happy, thankful and proud to say that I'm a member of an amazing team at EHGRP. The concept and brand is fun and energetic and it's all surrounded by great food and drinks! AMAZING! With their supportive disposition they've allowed me the opportunity to work remotely and continue to provide my marketing services while I join Tyler in the pursuit of happiness and advertising euphoria.
So as of February 21 we're moving to San Francisco! We're packing our bags and renting our house out and hitching a ride onto another star. I'm looking forward to the cultural experiences, the energy of a city, the adventures, the humility of starting off with nothing and the pride of building it into something big.
Everywhere you look (everywhere)
There's a heart (there's a heart)
A hand to hold on to.
Everywhere you look (everywhere)
There's a face of somebody who needs you.
Two months into 2013 and I think it's safe to repeat this is going to be a great year, good things are going to happen and big changes will be made. I'm definitely keeping a positive outlook and an even more optimistic state of mind! Cheers!
