peach green tea :)
if you knew me, you would know this...i love goals. i am always setting new ones for myself. most i keep, some i forget as soon as i write them down. and here's my latest goal...update my journal every sunday. i gave myself a half an hour each sunday for writing...figured it would be a good stress reliever and a way to just take a break from my crazy life. so i've settle down with some peach green tea (also a new goal of mine...drink less coffee and diet pop, and more tea...figured i would cut down on those weird fake sugars in diet pop and the jitters you get when you drink too much coffee). i figured first and foremost time for an update. since no one reads this i feel as this update if more for myself than anyone else...but i guess you never know...
So...there has been so many changes to my life!!
1. i am at a new school. i graduated from michigan state in may, and started at central michigan a week later. i am their physical therapy program...which is a balance of me being totally in love with the things i learn about everyday...and me being in a constant state of panic from how much they expect from you in grad school. it has been a HUGE transition from me from undergrad to grad school...i never would have guessed how different everything would be...i'll tell you about it sometime in another post. :) i moved back home from east lansing to clare to try to save some money, and have found it to be nice to be back at home. it's just me and my mom and we are getting along great. she's one of my best friends and i love getting to see her everyday. though, part of me can't help feeling like a little bit of a failure, living back home at 22 years old, but for now going to school is so crazily expensive, it helps me out so much to not have the expense of rent. hopefully, someday when i'm working i'll be able to make it up to her.
2. i have a new boy in my life. ross and i broke up last summer (long story). no need for details, but truly i learned so much about myself from this experience, so much about my friends and family (how AMAZING they are), so much about God's plan and blessings (how AMAZING He is...even when you don't realize it right away), and so much about how unpredictable life can be. how scary it can be to leave life up to someone else's plan, knowing not what will happen, but that there is a reason for everything. so...looking back on it i found my reason. my new boy, kyle, is the best. think you read mushy posts in the past? i can give you beyond mushy now. some post i'll tell you our story, what happened this summer, and how we fell back in love (we dated in high school). i know it's so soon, and maybe it sounds a little bit crazy, and i'll stand corrected if it doesn't work out, but i truly believe he is the one. i've never gotten more excited thinking about the future then i have since we have been dating. we are so cute it's almost sickening...we are still in the giddy stage, but i don't see it ending. it's hard because he lives in grand rapids, 2 hours away, but i think this boy is so perfect that it is worth it. he makes me want to work out it, even when it is hard. i'm sure i will write much more about him...i don't have to say it all now...a half an hour is just too short. :)
3. i'm working too. i am teaching two classes of step aerobics at a fitness facility at central. i am also teaching a first aid class as a graduate assistant. looking at my schedule, sometimes i think i am crazy, for how much stuff i put on my plate and try to balance. but i've always been that way. crazy overachiever..trying to handle way more than what's possible. maybe that should be a new goal...slow down. but in the end i think that down time, really might drive me more crazy then a packed schedule.
so, that's it for now, not quite half an hour, but my school work is just calling out to me WAY too loudly. hopefully i will keep this up. it's kinda fun. :)
xoxo! :) :)
