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...

To Brittian and Back

Today Amber, Dana and I woke up early to go on an adventure. 6:23 to be exact. How I know that is because Ty had to call me to wake Dana and I up from our very deep slumber. I sprung awake and got ready in record time to try to help Ty jump his car. Only it didn't work so we had to wake up my roommate to drive us all. The three ladies convened at the dock where our boat trip would leave. We were all a little tired but mostly excited for our long overdue adventure and being tourists for the day. We started our tip with about an hour long boat ride to Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands (BVI), the three of us talking about anything and everything that came to mind. Once we got to Virgin Gorda, everyone on the trip took a taxi over to the baths. The baths (BVI) are a geologic structure in which volcanic rock is pushed up near the water to create tunnels, pools, arches and grottoes. There are only two baths in the world, one being in the BVI, so it was super cool that we got to go...

Best Friends

I swear that I have the best friends on the planet and I know everyone is jealous. But Ill share them! Last night I went to Milwaukee to see a friends band play on Water St. It took a lot of energy to leave the house. Oh, how I wanted an early evening and to cuddle up in bed with a good book. We all know that those end up being the best nights out, when it was hard to get out in the first place! There ended up being a huge group of us. Ive always wanted a large group of friends and now Ive got it. And even more friends around the world. I can't believe how awesome that is and how awesome they all are! Anyway... We pretty much took over the dance floor with our crazy moves. It was so fun! I got a text from my mom saying that I should just stay in Milwaukee considering the bad roads after the first snowfall. I didn't argue. On the hike back to the apartment after the show, there was snow everywhere and it was cooold. Thank goodness my friends are so great and threw snowba...
