This post has been a long time coming, at least for me.  Back when I started CoaJG, I was a confused twenty something who didn’t know her place, who didn’t know where she would end up, who didn’t know where she belonged.  This blog started over six years ago and has chronicled so much of of my crazy life through it’s few versions.  I’ve made some of the best friends I could ever have through this blog.  I’ve Been to Vegas, Minnesota, Chicago, California and NYC to hang out with some of the most amazing people that were ever put on this earth. Above all else, this blog has helped me to feel not so alone in a time when I had very little.

And then?  Then Vegas happened.  I realized that there were so many opportunities out there, so much that I could do if I just made the choice to LIVE.  So, I did.  I really think that weekend gave me the strength to be the person I am now, to make the choices that I have and to really love my life.  I fell in love with the man that became my husband, bought a house, survived a deployment, planned a wedding and became a photographer.  A REAL photographer.  All of this happened because of this blog and because of the courage and understanding that all of you who read this blog have given me over the years.  I’m a better person because of all of you.

I’ve reached a point in my life where I’m finally HAPPY.  I have no dramatic dating stories to tell.  I don’t randomly fly across the country whenever I want (because that’s still all the time.  but the BILLS.  UGH.).  I don’t really have anything to write about anymore.  My business has consumed me.  I can barely make time for my family and hardly remember to post on my business blog often.  I’ve felt for a while this pressure to write here, mostly because I never took the time to address everything and to finish this story.  I felt like I left it just randomly with no ending.

Thank you everyone for making this little blog and this part of my life so fantastic, but I think this is it for Confessions of a Jersey Girl.  I’ll still be reading your blogs, I’ll still be ontwitter and you can still find me at my professional blog or on Facebook.  So much love to you all.
