Hmm, it's been a long time. I apologize... it's just that since my last post, the months have FLOWN by and I've been SO busy. It's 2:52 am and I should go to bed, but for some reason I'm not tired, and I figured blogging is probably as productive as I can be at this time of night. Nevermind the fact I work 9 - 5 tomorrow.
Well, where should I start... hmm.. how about the end of the year?
Let me just say, the end of the year was fantastic. I passed A & P (barely, but I did it). I am still Captain of the Equestrian Team for next year (yay!!). I am President of PPHA (<3 Community Health). I am being a Peer Leader again! All in all, it was a great end of the year. Banquets were fun, checkouts were not - but hey, I'm not a CA anymore! I couldn't wait for summer to begin, but I'm not even going to be sad about going back up to SRU in a couple of months... I have so much to look forward to, and I'm living in an amazing apartment with Steve!
So, Summer 2008 is definitely kicking Summer 2007's ass. I LOVE my job. I'm working as a Care Specialist, doing in-home care for the elderly and disabled. I absolutely love it. It hasn't always been easy, and I've cried over it, but overall it's been so fulfilling and I get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
I started Weight Watchers again (with Erin!) almost 4 weeks ago. I've since lost 9.4 pounds and I feel so good about myself. I don't quite notice a difference yet, but just knowing I'm doing what's right for my body makes me so happy.. it's one of the few personal things I really wanted to focus on this summer, and the fact I'm putting so much effort into it makes me really, really pleased.
Friends are good - I barely have time to see them because of work (I work a steady 9 - 5 Mon. - Fri. schedule now, but it wasn't like that at the beginning of the summer. One week, I worked 72 hours! Crazy, I know.), but I try to fit them in here and there. I love the fact that Erin and I are doing WW together... it's so much fun and I love the support of having another person go through it with me.
I haven't been able to ride at all this summer yet, but I'm planning on starting up in the next couple of weeks. Since starting WW again, the gym has become my friend... so hopefully my ass won't get kicked too badly when I get back on a horse!
Seth and I are about to celebrate 6 months of being together! We're going through a rocky time right now (boo), but I hope we get through it. If we don't, I'll just have to think of our relationship as not meant to be, at least at this point in our lives. I love him a lot, but there are just some issues we have to work on. Wish us luck. :-)
What else... oh! I'm rat-sitting for the summer. Renee and her roommates have 2 female rats and nobody was available to look after them this summer, so I'm doing it! Their names are Fiona and Bianca, and they are adorable (much to my mother's dismay). They're not as dirty as most people think rats are, and it's been really fun so far.
I bought a bike today... there's a beautiful trail by the river downtown, and I've always wanted to ride down there... so I think Erin and I are going down this Sunday. If it's a beautiful day, then it should be amazing. I can't wait!
Family is doing well... I don't get to see much of them because of work, but I try to get some quality time in when I can! My mom and I are getting manicures and pedicures on Saturday and I'm so excited! It's been awhile since I've had my nails done, and I'm looking forward to it.
I guess that's about all for now! I'm loving this summer... if any of y'all from home are reading this, pleaseee feel free to get in touch! I would love to see you. :-) I'm really going to try to update this at least weekly. Try being the operative word. Take care!!
