Things have been nutz lately, which is why I haven't posted in a while. Most recently, my good friend from high school,
coloroflilacs, got married yesterday!!! The wedding ceremony was beautiful, the bride was gorgeous, and the reception was so much fun. Kristin and Jay looked so happy together, and I know they've begun a wonderful life. I saw friends I haven't seen in ages, which is always a good thing, and I met some wonderful new people last night. I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that Kris is married. I was looking at her las night thinking: this is a movie, this can't be real. But it is. And it's good. So, I hope you two have fun on your honeymoon!
The rest of my life is consumed with thinking about Azerbaijan. I am so excited about going. More excited than scared, for sure. And I love getting to know the people in my group. There is already a sense of teamwork and camaraderie among us. I get the feeling that I'm going to enjoy spending the next two years working with these people. 35 Days and counting!
I rode a lot this week. Topper is still lame (and has been for a month, seems to be his yearly stone bruise) so I rode Crown and Reggie. Damn. By Friday I had a trademark on sore. Crown takes so much more leg than Topper, and I hadn't ridden in a couple of weeks anyway. And by the time I got to Reggie, wow. But then Reggie is so narrow compared to Crown and Topper, than I was using completely new muscles, so owwwww. But I'm better now. I scratched from the show this coming Saturday, because Topper is going to be out of shape and I really can't afford it anyway. So much to get for Azerbaijan, and such little paychecks. You know how it goes.
If you add in lots of TV and time with my kitty, that's the gist of my life right now. Jon & Kristina's wedding is this coming Sunday. And I'm going to Virginia the following weekend to visit my cousin. Yay! So, cheers!
