So it’s been a while since I’ve done a simple update on the blog. I know I’ve only been writing posts for link-ups (lazy, right!?) I promise I’m trying to come up with material, but I’ve been so busy with my new job and training and honestly, it hasn’t really been on my mind. So I thought today I’d just bring ya’ll up to speed on my life (Because you all care, right?).
1. Work
I’m growing to love my job more and more! And I even started a blog specifically for work and what I have going on there! If you’re interested in checking it out, please do here! I don’t really talk much about my job as a VISTA on my personal blog so if you don’t know exactly what I do and want to, that’d be a resource to do that! It’s amazing though how I wasn’t look for this job and it just fell into my lap and each day I become more and more passionate about what I’m doing!
2. Training
Yeah… so about that…. since I moved back to Starkville, I’ve been terrible about working out, so I’m feel gross and fat and out of shape (just so we’re being honest, here!), but I’m working on it, I am. I have a triathlon next month that I’m working towards. I’m really excited because it’s a really short one for beginners just to see if it’s something you may interested in. It’s a 200y swim, 10 mile bike, and 2 mile run. Then the weekend after that I have a 5k run I want to do, then on Thanksgiving Day, I have an 8k I want to do, then I want to do the Mississippi Blues Half Marathon again, then possibly start working towards a full marathon. Wish me luck… for real!
3. Splurging
Luckily, I’m about to start getting reimbursed for A LOT of stuff dealing with work and then I also have a tax refund coming my way, so I’m working on ideas of how to save for certain things I want to do. I’m not gonna lie, a trip to Disney World and New York have made it’s way onto this list. I also need a new blinker and horn for the car, that’s top priority! But another thing I don’t really spoil myself with, but I think I’m gonna start are manicures and pedicures! I think they make you feel like a million bucks and make a huge difference in your confidence, so I’ll be doing that soon! yay!
4. A new addition
My best friend from Kindergarten is like family to me! Our families are really close! Her brother married a German girl who I just adore and she helps me practice my German, so I love her! Anyways, they have been expected a precious baby girl and she arrived TODAY! I will gladly share with you the 2 pictures I got via text this morning! Enjoy this beautiful bundle! She will make your Monday happy!
Have a wonderful week friends, hope to be seeing more of you!
