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.

Bio Bay, PR positives

The coolest part of our trip to Puerto Rico was definitely the Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques [side note, bioluminescence is a big word, mostly it just means stuff that lights up but scientifically it means 'bio'-life, 'lumin'-light, 'escence'-to put forth. So, life that puts forth light!] It was an experience that I cannot easily put into words. The night started out a bit strange. We got picked up at our hostel at 9pm, along with 5 other girls, by a thirty-something, long-haired gentleman. He walked us about a block to the van that would transport us to the bio-bay. The van was, well, to put it nicely, a fixer-upper. It had bench seats which were collapsing, the roof fabric was falling down, it puttered around and squeaked during turns. Ty and I joked that we were paying 40 bucks to get murdered in this van especially when we turned down a dirt, side street that was full of pot holes. We slowly lumbered along this road for a few minutes until we made it to our ...

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...

Summerfest Day 1

Amazing. I was just going tonight to hang and  see some bands, no expectations, but SFest delivered on its first day. My friend Alex and I got there a bit early so we walked around the shops and the smaller stages. We stumbled upon Five Knives which were like a hip-hop-y Ke$ha. If you know me at all you'd know that I probably loved it. They were pretty fun. Then a bit later when we were sitting watching a local sax band play, the fireworks started. I never NEED to see the big bang but its always a pleasure when I see it. I got great seats by accident sitting on a table. I always have a smile on my face when I watch colorful explosions in the sky. Then, the white out, massive explosion that is the epic finale. I couldn't see anything for at least a minute afterwards. I love when the loudness is felt in your heart and there is so much going on that its just a colorful mess. Most excellent. Then we went to find Bastille. As soon as they came on I was extremely impressed. H...
