I'm sorry for the neglect

I originally decided on having a blog as a way to capture some of my thoughts without having the whole journal thing. But, like most things lately, I've neglected it. Seeing as my last post was oh so dramatic and seemed like 2012 was going to be the worst year of my life. I feel as if I should a) start by recapping my entire summer( didn't do much so it shouldn't take to long) and also talk about how school has started up again (yay football!) On a sidenote 2012 has turned out fantastic since my last post.



SUMMER:
Well, seeing as I work at the Hospital there isn't as much free time as I would like to sunbathe and travel as I would like, but, I always seem to end up having a great summer regardless.
It started out with my work having a 5K at the rec center close to my house (so I had really no excuse to not get out and participate) I had been going to the gym regularly and thought this would be a great way to continue working out my knee. I ended up having such a fun time with my coworkers that ran it too. I wasn't the fastest and I wasn't the worst. My knee did great and that's all I really care about.

This picture is also the last one I have with my friend Keith from work. He moved back home to Las Vegas at the end of summer to attend school there. He would have been an idiot to pass up the scholarship they offered him.

(ok just kidding here is the last picture we have together..his official last day in the lab.. I cried like a baby)

 

 

 

 

LAKE POWELL

 so remember that little goal I had of  getting in a bikini by Lake Powell?? well that goal might not have happened the year I had planned it, but it happened. All that time at the gym paid off. I've officially lost 30lbs since starting college and as a present I went and got my belly button pierced. Our Lake Powell group was small this year, but I think it was just as fun.

I took this photo the last day we were on the lake. As like past trips there is always a big storm Saturday and I am so glad I was able to capture the beauty of the lake after the storm. (Thanks Instagram for making it look cooler)

 

 

My family also went up to Yellowstone and went river rafting in June. I had to work so I drove up and went river rafting and then came back home for the weekend.

 

 

FALL:

Well as inevitable as it is school started back up again. People left, work became more stressful, homework began to pile on.
