My birthday, road trip and finals

May 02, 2012

This has been a crazy couple weeks!

I turned 25 on April 29th, crazy that this is the one birthday I've ever had (in memory) that when I considered all the things I want to accomplish in the next year that I didn't think to myself, "it's time to lose weight". NSV of sorts I suppose. However, some things I do want to accomplish in the next year are keeping on with my New Years Resolution to take better care of myself overall, run a race for my friend Joe that passed away, start taking ballet classes and get closer to finishing/finish this damn degree!

Speaking of my degree, the last week or so has been that time of semester where I flip out and breakdown about how much I put on my own plate. I generally have a moment or two of crying and the "I can't do this!" stuff, then I tell myself to man up because no one is going to do it for me and get whatever it is finished. It always works out, but not without my "what the hell have I gotten myself into" moment. Anyway, as of an hour ago, I turned in my last paper for the semester and can finally breath for a couple weeks before I do it all over again. 17 credits was a little much this semester so I'm thinking only 15 for the fall. I say it now but I'm full of lies and know I'll be signing up to torture myself WAY MORE than full time come fall, I'm a masocist, apparently.

And lastly, yesterday I took a road trip with my work Boo to see another friend of ours that used to work with us (he moved to California in October) while he was in Fort Wayne. Fort Wayne is about an hour and a half drive from where we are but it was well worth it to see our old work bestie. He hasn't seen me in person since October so he was pretty shocked at how different I look. Infact, he called my tiny several times! LOL, a word I never thought would be associated with me! We went to lunch downtown, hung out for a couple hours to get in some quality bestie time and then dinner with a group of his buddies that are from Fort Wayne. Roadtrip = Super amazing time and a great success. Sad that it had to end...

Anyway, thought I'd share some pictures of my adventures:

One of my best friend's and I on my birthday. I make crazy faces, I know...


My arm looks kinda scary, but rocking the sleeveless look anyway


Love standing next to him, he makes me feel tiny


Armed with my decaf and my Boo with her jet fuel we were ready to go on our adventure!


At dinner with my loves


Anyway, I'm thankful for the opportunities that my sleeve has made reality. I couldn't ask for more, well except some extra money for plastics... but ya know... lol
