Long Time Gone.
Two months. Talk about a long time gone. That was actually rather unplanned. I may suck at writing consistently, but some reason plenty of you keep following along. I promise to do better! Needless to say, this semester has been insane. A few snippets of where my time has gone this semester. I will probably come back to a lot of these in detail in the future!
Fun with Friends
I’ve had a lot of fun with various friends this semester. My friends Matt and Claire moved to a new house, so I helped them. Gail, Puff, Bimmer and I try to meet up once a month and when the weather finally warmed up, I was able to get in a baseball game!
January
Got to spend time with sweet little LE while helping her parent Matt and Claire move in January. Bonus, they now live closer to me!
Gail and Bimmer came down in January for a fun girls day! We went to the Children’s Museum and then had lunch with Biner, Rach and Baby Ford!
February
Well… I am missing pics from Rach’s birthday party. The next weekend though I had fun meeting up with Gail, Puff and Bimmer for lunch in the middle of our two cities! Love this sweet girl.
March
Travel
I spent several days in Albuquerque, New Mexico!
A week later I then spent a week in New Orleans, LA.
Fun with Family

Hanging with my awesome Aunt Wen when she came to town for Easter!
Relationships

Honestly. For me relationships have been hard this semester. And I mean in all forms this quote can be a bit accurate. From talking about eros love, storage love, agape love or philia love…. they can all be a little tough at times.
Allergies
I think we all pretty much know at this point that my allergies suck. So, plenty of meds and hot tea for me!
Work Insanity
I have no good pictures to post to show work craziness b/c I don’t want to post pictures of my staff or students. So we’ll go with a shot of a catering setup we had this week for a luncheon with the school president. This semester has been non-stop. Events, marketing campaigns, reviewing hundreds of resumes and interviewing nearly 100 people, a ton of committee meetings an more. Craziness.
Hospital Trips
My Grandmother went back into the hospital on March 24th and was there for 2.5 weeks. Two major surgeries later and I was able to research rehab places and she just moved to one for a minimum of 6 weeks of rehab for physical therapy. I spent a lot of the last few weeks in surgery waiting rooms, visiting her, stalking her doctors/nurses, emailing updates to the family and researching rehab places.
Adding to that, my Dad has been sick too. This has scared the crap out of me and I may have cried a bit. He has had a headache and blurry vision for nearly 3 weeks. The MRI showed no brain issues (thank God) but they still don’t know what is going on. So they did a surgery today to do a biopsy. So I spent my whole afternoon in a different hospital waiting room. I’m still freaked out, but he seems calm. So that is good! We also learned that he is a diabetic, so I am learning all sorts of new things about what is good and not good to eat!
Ok. So I realize that ending on work and hospital stuff makes it sound all awful. They are just at the bottom because they call me the most stress and I like to talk about them the least. While they are big, there has also been a lot of fun stuff too and it has just taken up all my spare time. When I get home at night I am much more interested in catching up with my family or curling up with a book to destress than blogging…. but I am determined to do better! Stay tuned!
