I got up the courage to go to this new gym I've been wanting to try. I went to a cardio kickboxing and then an abs class. I forgot that it CAN be fun to exercise :)

Sean is cooking food that we can eat on for the next few days! It makes me so happy to have a break from cooking all of our meals. :)

Oct. 8, 2014 - I'm back

I've been a little down recently, so Sean suggested I start writing in this blog again.

Today, all 4 of us girls at work went for a walk. It was a beautiful afternoon, and it was nice to get out of my cubicle and feel  like I had a little community at work.

I forgot I had this blog :) Once I met Sean, I think blogging kind of went out the window. I guess I was always happy once he came around? And, thankfully, he's still around! I'm back in Texas after my first year of graduate school for my practicum, although everything got messed up and I still haven't started... 2 months later. It's frustrating, but I know everything will turn out just fine. Today was nice because I got to see some old friends at the park playing sand volleyball, which is the first time that I've played since I left Dallas last summer. It reminded me of the friends I made with the Texas Exes team, and how bold and courageous I felt going out, joining a team where I knew no one, and ended up playing for 3 seasons with them :) I was worried about going tonight, since I didn't know who I was going to end up seeing there and I was potentially concerned about awkward encounters. The awkward was kept to a minimum, which was refreshing... and then amplified by a huge storm that broke loose right as we finished playing. I am happy today

Today was cool because my mom took us out to lunch, and I had a great green curry dish at this little Thai place. My dad is letting me redo the bathroom that has had the same nasty wallpaper since before I was born, so today I finally found the perfect shower curtain, rug, towel, and paint with the color scheme i've had in mind. Success! Later, my sister and I saw crazy stupid love and it was very good. My dad showed me how to remove wallpaper, which is the most awful thing, but we made some good progress and I'm excited to see if I'll be any good at decorating a bathroom for the first time :)

Wow, it's been basically an entire month since I've posted. I feel like I've been on summer vacation or something since then, even though i've been working, moving, and now I'm home preparing to move across the country to start grad school. So now I'm actually going to try to keep up with this, since I'm unfortunately not able to spend all my free time with a certain young man :)

Today was great because I bought a planner for the first time since college. I love planners. My sister bought me a nice one for Christmas for years, but since I,ve graduated, I really had no need of one since I had a desk calendar at work. But I'm starting to get more and more emails from school with class schedules, meetings, appointments, and I'm so happy and excited about having things to put into a planner.

And the rest of my life is awesome, too. I finished reading eat pray love. It was okay, and I'm happy that its over so i can read other things :)

I have REALLY sucked with this. Things are crazy. Everything is going great in my world. Sean and I are "officially" together as of June 25, and I couldn't be happier FO REAL. We went to his friend's lake house for July 4, and we had a fun time playing volleyball, eating, drinking, swimming, etc.

The new girl who is replacing me started today. She's pretty cool, and I hope she'll like the lab as much as I have.

My financial aid package came in, and Pitt is awarding me a few loans, but I still have to come up with 7,000 more per semester.... so I'm looking for jobs and loans and scholarships :) Cross your fingers for some luck soon!!

I did a huge grocery run, and now I have great food, AND it didn't cost as much as I had expected, which is AWESOME.

Our volleyball team played in a very synergistic manner, which was fun!

Yay my life!
