Hopefully, Im Back in the Game

Ive been horrible with posting to my blog and Id like to take a minute to apologize to myself for not keeping up with it and then the say a little sorry to people who actually follow my blog, and if you keep up with it then... go you!

Just a little update on whats going on here and then Im hoping tomorrow Ill be able to write a blog about how awesome my cousins wedding was this past weekend!

So, Im currently in Philly working where I was this Spring at College Settlements. I love my coworkers and I love where Im at. I feel comfortable and happy at work, now only if I was closer to the city for my social life...

I have to brag about my dude who just started a new job in DC as the captain of an education vessel. He's adulting so hard and Im so proud. Makes me want to step up my game and start semi-adulting. I want to get a job there after this job is over for the fall. So, If you've got any leads...

This summer/Fall have been a bit insane, in a good way. 

I spent my summer working for an amazing organization in MKE that I can't stay away from, the Urban Ecology Center. While working there I was staying at a place off of Brady and really enjoying my time and keeping very busy. I climbed a lot and did a lot of yoga and went to a lot of happy hours and went to all the festivals and still I feel like I did not see my friends enough or do enough...

In August, I traveled to Nashville for my cousins bachelorette party which was a success in my book. I got to meet a lot of cool girls and see what it would be like to have girlfriends!
I also went to the Red River Gorge with my climbing buddy and my dude. That was a great trip that we had been training for all summer. We rocked it. Pun intended.
And after that flew straight to Philly where I started my gig. Ty was able to hang around for a bit and we went up to Vermont for Papa's huge birthday party! I got to meet so many of Tys friends and family which was overwhelming but cool.
Ty has been coming up to PA on weekends and I want to get down to DC too.

In November, Ty and I are spending the holidays with my family up north so he can meet more of my family which is exciting then we head to THAILAND!!! Im so excited to spend two weeks exploring this amazing place and visiting my lady friend from the Guatemala retreat.

Life is fun, but also exhausting and I need a break, but I also dont just wanna sit on the couch all evening. I need like an in-between break where I get to hang out with people but then they leave when I want them to... haha.

Hopefully I get my act together and put together a real blog post tomorrow that isn't just stream of consciousness, cause I know this is boring.

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 ...

Eating Like Crap is Crap

Im trying really hard not to spend money on food as there is so much food here at camp. Its not horrible food but its definitely not the best. So, with me trying not to spend money on food, I haven't been eating the greatest. I don't know if its because of other reasons, but Ive been feeling like shit lately and Im attributing it to lack of nutrients. I dont know how people eat crap all the time and survive. It must be a skill. I was eating alright about two weeks ago but this last week it hasn't been very pretty. Ive been a scavenger and theres been a lot of bread and fake meat and here is how I feel: Im tired ALL the time. No matter how many naps I take or hours I sleep a night, Im always exhausted by mid-day and just want to lay around, sleep and do nothing. Ive also been starting to get weak headaches throughout the day. Or having sore muscles from doing minimal exercise. That also makes me just want to do nothing. My stomach is also crazy. It hurts if I eat som...
