I seem to be one of those people that can never relax. If I have two or three hours of relaxing, watching TV, or sitting around I start looking for things to do or people to call. I LOVE to be busy and not be by myself (That is the real conclusion...I LOVE being around people!)
I am enjoying my school year, as always. I feel ever since I started teaching World Regional Studies Honors I have loved my job as a teacher even more. It is a Freshman course, which some people would steer away from, but I love their desire to learn and see their transition into high school. It also helps that they are honor students ;). I took the Fall off again this year from sports to relax, work out, and get my one day a week Happy Hour session with Susan. I really look forward to those Happy Hour days :)....it is a great time to try new places for a cheaper price and to have great conversations with a great friend. I will list some of our favorites places below!
When November rolls around I know it is time for me to say Goodbye to Happy Hours and Hello basketball season. When this time rolls around I always complain and state this is going to be my last year, this is going to be my last year; then the season starts and I remember how much I Love the sport! It has been an up and down season for my girls, but they have been fun and a joy to be around; yet it is the middle of the basketball season and I am already getting the itch for Spring. I am ready to get some fresh air with Track and Field!
It has been a refreshing school year so far. I have accomplished great things....4 5Ks and 1 10K to name a few. I have been dating a great man for about 8 months now. I won our family Christmas Eve dip contest. I have been to roughly 10 concerts since the Summer, and I have continued to enjoy creative, new, and wonderful days and nights with family and friends dear to my heart. I am excited to see what 2013 will bring me....doubling up on my aunt duties (Sister having TWINS), moving aaaagainnnn...maybe buy a House? (so the every two year move can stop for awhile), taking a two week sabbatical to Montana, Gabriel finally seeing Vegas, more weddings and babies oh my!, one more year in my 20s, Kanrocksas, and continuing to enjoy life.
