Looking for Summer Adventure...

With the days of winter semester coming to a close ( I would just say winter but it snowed 5 inches here yesterday) I turn now to the summer and the adventures it can bring. As previously mentioned this semester has been somewhat of a whirlwind and I'm ready for a little slow down. I am back down to one job, which I love most of the time. I'll take classes during the spring but not summer which lends time to having adventures...and I'm pretty pumped...

A week and A Day....

Whew....so I didn't quite reach the week mark...one day too long..dang it. Oh well, close enough. So basically the run-down of my life is this...I feel like a chicken (with it's head fully intact) being chased by a fox. With the end of the semester closing in there is so much to be done and so little time in which to do these many many things. It's at times like these that I wish sleep wasn't a necessary part of life.

I'm excited for the end of the semester. I think this semester was a true test of my abilities to survive under the craziest of circumstances...sometimes I even feel like a real grown up...shhhh...don't tell

So looking back one of the highlights of my semester that I forgot to mention is being able to go out to lunch with my sibling without their kids. This has happened on three occasions this semester and I have loved every minute of it. Because of the age gap in my family it's been difficult to get to know my sisters well. They were all gone by the time I was 8 or 9 so it wasn't like I had the "big sister" to help me get through those teenage years. I'm so grateful that they live close now so that I can learn from their examples and see what I want out of life. I'm so grateful for you are and the examples you are to me...
