Update
Oh June! Here's what you need to know:
-Deferred grad school one year. Need to get surgery on my hips and save some money/pay off debt. Tough decision to make, but it feels like the right one. Staying in Portland, loving the city and banking some dollars (bonus!).
-August 1st I am beginning work at the USM Portland campus. A less stressful position, and also within walking distance from home (bonus! goodbye, thunder thighs!).
-Developed a pre-ulcer/acid-reflux stomach issue. Barfed at least once a week for about a month. Medications are helping now. Thanks, stress and heredity! Lost 10 pounds because of this (bonus!).
-My beloved Pontiac Sunfire, lovingly known as Frances, was assaulted and is now totaled. A drunk handicapped person slammed into her when she was parked and ruined her. Ethan's car and our neighbor's truck were also damaged. I received enough money to pay off her loan, plus $1700. And I have no more car payment (bonus!)
-Living in Portland! Getting very city-savvy and loving it. Silly's is my favorite. I crave a Bee's Knees shake every day!
-I have the best friends in the whole world. We're all spread out, but it still works!
-I have fallen in love, and that's the best part of all of this. Despite the stress in my life of late, I have found a man who keeps me grounded, who gives me what I need and makes me happy. I can't remember the last time I felt anything close to this feeling, and its fantastic! We've been together less than 6 months, but sometimes, you just know.
