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.

Dear Old Friend

Dear old friend, I think about you a lot. As I go about my day I think about how something might make you laugh or say aloud an inside joke that no one understands. I smile as I remember a fond memory. But then I go about my day. At night is when I think about trying to reach out to you again. About what I should have said or what I should say to try to understand why we are no longer close. I come up with scripts in my head about a letter I should write you or a voice mail I should leave, so you know how much I miss you. Sometimes I get angry. Why did this friendship not last forever like I was sure it would? What did I ever do to be treated this way? How could you just leave me alone? Do you even care how I am? I ask myself these questions over and over. I get mad. Then I think. I think that you must not have done this to hurt me; sometimes people just drift apart. That you probably think about me sometimes too. That perhaps, sometimes you smile at an old memory we share. Gut...

Runners High

At 12:30pm, I stepped outside for the first time all day. I hadn't really even left my room until I realized that if I didnt go outside, I probably would bum it all afternoon. I put my running shoes on and bounced outside. I started walking and after I got myself settled, I started to run. After being cooped up, those first few steps of an outdoor run is so magical. The feeling of freedom, fresh air and adrenaline is fantastic. I always have a mad smile and excitement for being able to move so fast. After my first few minutes of running, thats when the exhaustion sets in. What keeps me going longer, is adventure. Do I like running? Not really. Do I enjoy exploring? Obviously. I decided to check out a new part of the power line trail that I have not seen before and ran up the hills, or on straight path, and walked down hills. I went to the beginning of the trail and back again, smiling at the other people who were also out for their afternoon walk/bike. The sun came out and it...

Longest Day Ever

This is the longest day of my life. Literally. No, like actually literally. Or maybe a bunch of the shortest days of my life...anyway... We started off in Wisconsin, not early but it wasn't leisurely either. Then the bus to the airport in Chicago where we were to catch our first flight to shanghai. When we checked in we were informed that we were given an illegal flight through china on our way back home. Apparently you can't even have a layover in an airport for longer than 24 hours in China. The airline was nice about it and helped us in anyway they could but they told us we would have to call our booking agency because it was their fault, not the airline itself. Good thing we gave ourselves plenty of time in the airport because we needed all of that time to figure it out. I called the company that gave us our tickets and the first thing the gentleman said was that we would have to pay a change fee on top of the price for the new ticket. I was not happy with that so I inquir...
