I just got back from a seven mile hike with Steph and her friend from school Jamie, and while I want nothing more than to take a long shower and sleep for ten hours I feel the blogger bug kicking into high gear.
Since my last post there have been lots of changes, promises broken and grief shared, and while right now I don’t feel like hashing it all out I’ll give you the low-down anyways.
Joshua and I split up many moons ago at my request. I think it’s the best move for our respective futures.
I’ve begun integrating health and fitness into my life as one of my top priorities and I’ve been surprised at how I feel. I’m happier, sleep better (and harder to be honest) and feel even more comfortable in my own skin. It’s quickly becoming a necessary thing in my life and I spend hours trolling the Pinterest health and fitness board for new workouts.
I’m also starting to get everything filled out so that I can start at PCC this winter term. I’m going for Business with the possibility of a creative writing minor (who knows), but I am beyond stoked for this.
Work is work and I love it, as usual.
Life has been good to me. I’m happy, I’m healthy and I’ve got a positive outlook on life, and how to get where I want. And even though sometimes I want to crawl under the sheets and hide from the big scary monster of life, to close my eyes and wish away all the bad things, I don’t. I just stand up tall, head up and shoulder back, and tell the scary monster to go to hell in a hand basket.
Life throws us bad things, but there’s always a silver lining, right?
Well I’m off to take a seriously needed shower, blogger bug be damned! So, until my next post please enjoy the pretty picture show of the last few months.
P.S. This isn’t up to my usual standard of writing but I be sleepy so just remember what The Help taught us: You is kind, you is smart, you is important :) Now look at the pictures

Teaser #1: Maryland Trip 2012- in July I went to Maryland with my parents and while the blog post is forthcoming, I figured I’d share the love and bring you a few pictures to tide you over.
Oh I forgot, in July I turned 20 and got to spend it with two of the most amazing people in my life. I honestly don’t know how I function without them- they are my other pieces and I love them to death.
Here’s a quick teaser, and I’ll be posting a full play by play of my birthday celebration at a later date :)
Also, just after my birthday I got my first tattoo! And while I’ve heard it’s placement is bad and it’s tacky and classless in general I love it and I think it fits me perfectly, imperfections and all. As someone else told me “Very zen. Me likey.” Haha!
No for the random!!
