Super fast update on life from May-August:
- Had a great time at Advocates for Youth (www.advocatesforyouth.org). An amazing organization made up of amazing individuals, so passionate about what they do. Glad I was able to be there for as long as I was.
- Had a great personal trainer while I was in DC at a very cool gym (www.vidafitness.com). Totally kicked my butt, but felt great.
- Made a short trip to NYC while I was in DC. Saw Wicked, ate delicious food from a stand on the corner of the road at midnight, went shopping, walked through Central Park. Great getaway.
- Moved from DC back to Bloomington. Flew out the next day to a family reunion in Utah. Nothing like spending time with relatives. Always fun, always good food and good entertainment.
- Went back to Bloomington for a few days. Packed my apartment. Drove back to Dallas.
- Drove to NC with Leigh and her dog - picked another one up on the way. Good times. My best friend literally lives on the side of a mountain in a log cabin. So perfect.
- Flew back to Dallas. Spent a couple days home. Went to Houston to see John's new house. Saw all the siblings down there. Spent some time together.
- Back to Dallas. Spent some time with friends and family before driving back to Bloomington.
- Moved into my shoebox apartment in Bloomington that I love. Reunion with all my friends here. So great to be back.
My summer was literally all over the place. I traveled nearly every weekend from May-July. From July 15-Aug 15, I didn't spend more than 3 nights in a row in the same bed (and not in a questionable, dirty sort of way - just a traveling, all over the place sort of way). That's the best description of how the time just got away from me. I am looking forward to having a more "permanent" home for the next 9 months.
Now it's "Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight. Ohhhh, back to school. Back to school. Back to school. Well, here goes nothing!"
