Summer

Over the past few weeks nothing too exciting has happened. I've been working crazy hours including this week I will have a grand total of 50 hours, but what else would I be doing with my time? Being engaged for over a month now more brainstorming for the wedding has begun. Still happening in 2015, probably in early May, but nothing is final.

I'll be moving back to school in a little over a month and it's even more real that I'll be going back to SNC now that I've received the bill...dread. Along with blowing my life savings on tuition I've also started order books, more "excitement". Woo. For those of you wondering I'll be living in an on campus apartment with three roommates.

Also, being that I've been back for two months now, so is all the weight that I lost in the 5 months I was in Ecuador. Oops. I often ask myself, what is different from now to then, and the answer is always, EVERYTHING. I was walking everywhere which usually also meant that I was sweating puddles. Along with the whole exercise thing not being built into my day, I've been eating way differently and cooking for myself so that means a lot of cheese here a heaping bowl of ice cream there, and NO beans and NO beans, ever. I've accepted that it has happened but to combat this unfortunate gain, I've signed up for my first run! The ever famous and fun Color Run, it'll be a 5k so about 3 miles, which I've never ever ran in my life. I wouldn't even say I'm a runner. I've always wanted to do the run and with summer here I do nothing but work so I needed something to strive for and why not get healthy and fit while doing that?

I found an online "Color Run" training guide that lasts 8 weeks and I just started week 2 and I can already feel that I am getting better, I even bought an ipod arm running band to help with enjoyment during my workout sessions.

 It's still hard to believe that Ben and I are engaged but every time I look at that ring on my finger my face looks something like this picture.  ^^^^^^^
