It is a perfect morning for updating my blog... I'm sitting here drinking my coffee, watching two bunnies hop around outside, and listening to the silence (minus the distant sound of my mom typing upstairs, lol)...
I woke up at 6 today.. which seems funny because I don't have to work today. Lately I have been waking up between 7 and 7:30 (even on days I don't have to work) but this morning was extra early for some reason. That's alright with me though. I leave for Florida in the morning so I'm sure I will need the extra hour or so to get a few more things checked off my to-do-list! :)
My mom and I are going to Panama City.. along with my Aunt/Uncle/3 cousins and my Aunt/cousin... for July 4th weekend and coming back home on Monday night. I'm excited to spend the weekend with them. We all usually get along really great but sometimes it takes a little work first. (HA!) I'm hoping this weekend is fun! :)
Quick update since last time: The cruise was wonderful! I enjoyed Key West the most I believe.. Coco Cay was fun and relaxing.. and Nassau was just alright. My mom and I had a blast the entire time though and took lots of pictures. :)
What else? hmm.. I'm still trying to keep up with my walking (not sure if I even mentioned that in my previous posts or not? lol) but it has been SO hot lately. I'm doing the best I can and I still enjoy it each time. I love the feeling and I love when I stop walking and feel 9893834 times better than I did when I started! It pays off too... I have lost about 35 lbs since March. This week I have been a little bit of a slacker though. I'm telling myself that I will get back into it after this weekend... An "off week" is okay every now and then, right?! lol :)
Oh, I received my diploma in the mail yesterday! That's a little exciting! I feel more like a graduate now. Now, I just need to get serious about this future thing! I need to update my resume (like today!) and continue looking for a job. I found a few openings at a place in Kennesaw that I feel would be a great opportunity. It is called Devereux... I actually need to apply today as well! yikes! (Maybe that's why my body woke me up at 6 am!) Also, I am still considering and looking into the Child Life Specialist position. I read about the requirements and found out that I will need 480 hours working with a certified Child life specialist before I register for the test. So, after finding that out, I read more about the hours and realized I won't be able to just volunteer... I will have to apply for an internship because only Internship hours are accepted. I checked into the internship programs at CHOA and found out that the applications are due in September for the Internship that starts in January. I want to complete the application soon and I guess just wait and see if I get to come in for an interview. Meanwhile, I will be looking at other options....
Anyway, I have started rambling and I keep pausing and it is drawing out this entire thing... I should just end here! :)
I am so glad you updated your blog. First of all, your morning almost sounds as lovely as mine. I am sitting here with coffee watching the waves.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, I am so proud of you, your weight-loss goals, and your accomplishments.
Third of all, I am very excited about your job opportunities. I just looked up the place in Kennesaw and it sounds amazing.
You make me smile - I love you! Enjoy your trip, friend.
I love you! so, so much! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you read this... lol. It was the perfect morning to update it. :)
Your morning sounds wonderful... I am missing the waves! :) I will get to see them tomorrow though... even if it is Panama City, haha!
I miss you more than the waves though! It has been OVER a week since you have been at the beach! I've been talking to you in my mind non-stop I feel like...
And thank you for being proud of me! You are the best... and you are great at motivating me and teaching me important things... like what I should eat and what I should stay away from! :)
You looked it up? You think it sounds like a place for me? Hopefully I can update my resume and apply for one of the positions today... we shall see!
Thank you for commenting! I just read your running blog... Go you! I am the one who is proud... of you! You are awesome! I hope one day (the sooner, the better) I get the "running bug" and have the desire to run like you are doing. I love reading about it and it's definitely encouraging.
I LOVE YOU! Enjoy the rest of your trip and I will be definitely calling you tomorrow to tell you Happy Birthday! (at some point... in between driving to Florida and settling in) :) I hope your day in perfect though! :)
Goodness... I talk/type A LOT these days... When did I change??? :)
