Crazy, beautiful, busy life.

Whoa, my life has been crazy busy for the past 3 weeks. It all started with the trip to South Carolina and then the ten days of Greg being home. The day Greg left I started working full time at the veterinary hospital. Getting back into the swing of working full time is really exhausting and crazy. I have to say though, I am happy to be working so much. I am grateful to be busy. Things are taking off, and although I feel like I have no time to even sit down I am happy how things are. I have been filling up the time that I am not working which leaves not much time to get stuff done like doing laundry, washing my car and finishing filing my taxes. Saturday after work I went to a local historical site that is the former home of a famous painter, it was a beautiful day. I was excited to do something that has been on my mental bucket list for quite some time. The bonus was being able to spend that time with my best friend. Sunday was Easter of course, I spent it in the city with my boyfriend's twin sister. She is really sweet and it was fun going to the city and visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Today of course I worked and then I went exploring for a while with my Mom. I just finished washing my car and the next item on my list is to go through all my clothes and get rid of a bunch of them! Wish me luck!

Well, Greg is gone and I'm on my own again. I expect every time he leaves it will get easier to re-adjust, as it seems it is easier this time than it was the last. I am now working full time which, I think, will be a good distraction. Falling asleep without him last night sucked but I ended up getting a really good night's sleep because I was so tired. I never take great care of myself when he is home because I'm so busy. My free time this week will consist of getting things done and trying to get myself healthy again. I ordered new running shoes last week and when they arrive I am going to get myself back into a running schedule. I also recently read an article about detoxing diets so today or tomorrow I am going to get what I need for that. I'm not doing it to lose weight, but to cleanse my body. Although I have heard they suck I am looking forward to the challenge. Additionally, I am going to set aside time each day to study for the LSAT. There are two upcoming trips I need to start planning as well. The first trip is going to be to Florida at the end of May to visit Greg. The second trip is going to be to California with Deanna to go to visit Katina and possibly go to Disney and Vegas! Not to mention I need to clean my car, finish doing my taxes, get my phone charger back and research and apply for my first credit card! Exciting, new things happening!

My love

My baby is home on leave from the Marines. Could he get any more handsome?

 

I just want everyone to know..

Drinking tea is not just a preference, it is a lifestyle choice.

 

Mm delicious food

It turned out that I didn't have to babysit today so I decided to make dinner. I found a recipe for Lemon Chicken & Spinach Risotto (Here is the recipe). Let me tell you, I outdid myself. I happen to really enjoy risotto, this is the second time I've made it. The first time I made pumpkin risotto which was also very good. Pretty proud of myself. 
     Anyway, I had a very nice weekend although it seems like it flew by. Yesterday I attended a Saint Patrick's day Parade and had a few beers with some of my friends from high school. It was so nice outside we didn't even need jackets! Yesterday was a recharging day, the kind that makes you forget all your worries. I leave for South Carolina on Wednesday, so exciting! I am very much looking forward to enjoying the warm weather down there. I'm not going to have to wear boots! Yay! Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

If I've learned one thing

If I've learned one thing about life it is that I don't know anything about life. I'm learning to embrace the fact that I haven't a clue what is going to happen down the road. The unknown can be really scary, I suppose the only thing I can do is chase my dreams. I felt a ting of sadness tonight and I am doing what I need to cope with that; writing. I've tried hard at times to make sense of things that were happening in my life and I haven't gotten far on that track. The farthest I've gotten is trying to just embrace the present moment and attracting positive things into my world. I am blessed.

I love a good challenge.
