Update on My Life

Sorry I haven't been posting! Its been a crazy busy week. I found out last week that I got a job in the USVI and they wanted me down there asap. Unfortunately, I could not afford anything until after the new year. (but thats also good since ill be around my family for xmas and, more importantly, friends for my birthday and NYE!!) So, I start in January! New life, new adventure.

Its going to be strange working again. For the past four months, Ive been doing whatever I want, not what someone else wants. Ive been going on my schedule and exploring, doing yoga, hanging out with friends, sleeping in. Its been great.

Ive also had a lot of time to get back in shape and eat better. I know, Im so obese. Kidding! Everyone tells me that I don't need to work out and i can eat whatever I want, but its not about losing weight as it is about toning up and being healthy. Ive noticed that my rock climbing has gotten better because Ive been working out. A lot has gotten better, actually. Im in a better mood, my heart is better, I feel amazing and I LOOK amazing. I wish I always had the time to work out for two hours in the mornings. Its a great way to start the day. Hopefully, I can keep up a good exercise routine in the VI.

Next steps are finding a place to live and packing up my life here. Hopefully I won't be gone too long Milwaukee, because I love you and everyone in it with all of my heart :)

Tropical Islands here I come!

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

Guatemala: Day One Adventure

The following is a conglomeration of journal writings that I made about my travel day to San Marcos, Guatemala and some additions to make it all run together smoothly: 11/5/15 6:60am Chicago I JUST made my first flight. It helped that the dude behind me in the security line was on my flight. We chatted a bit about travel and it eased my mind a little. I get so stressed out when Im not early... I had to take the earliest bus from Milwaukee at 4:30 am. I slept three hours. 10:55am ATL I think I smell... I didn't do that deodorant thing this morning. Whatever. I had less than an hour layover and had to run through the huge ATL airport to get to my gate. I got there with a bit of time though which is nice. Im between two not so fun humans. One is a very large man who thinks he can have half of my seat (though at least he seems nice) and an older woman who I don't think speaks good spanish or engligh. Also, when she's passed out its fine but as soon as she wakes up, the ...

Welcome to Kentucky

So Tyler and I have been driving for two days to get me to Kentucky tonight for my internship at the Reptile Zoo! (Which Im pretty excited for by the way) Its dark out and we are excited to almost be in Kentucky after passing through so many other states the whole day. We drive over this hill and this is what we see: The sky is all lit up orange and its kind of flickering and both Ty and I go “oh F***” Something is on fire and we think theres a horrible exploding accident on the highway. As we come down this hill, we notice that there is no horrible accident but theres fire from a factory. The orange lights are lighting up the foggy night sky and its glaring. Orange lights, smoke stacks and fires from the factory are all over and we are disgusted. It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. There is a billboard with an american flag (‘MERICA!) and we find out its an oil factory. On the other part of the highway is a sign as we come over the bridge: Welcome to Kentucky.  Not...
