are you ready?
kids! howzit! since i am no longer living in france, a new page must be turned in the book of blogs... i have a lot of work to do to get this thing stylin' and get y'all up to speed, but i'll do my best :D
i am here in vegas and leaning against these pillows that are just the most fantastic thing ever! holy buckets, mate! some things are overrated: sleep is sometimes, having a boyfriend is, working definitely is, but these pillows! sheesh, these are just about the nicest things ever.
ah, anyway, it's been awhile...
i bought a house randomly one day and last week i moved in! it's a great little thing with loads of light and windows and i am very happy there. it has lots of good energy and it is such a positive little thing-my truck even fits in the garage! yay!
of course, since i was not planning on buying a house, i bought a surfboard off of ebay the day before that... fantastic though. i am stoked and it turns out that there are several other cats at work that surf (one is my super big boss billy and the other is a new guy to n2, bob, who does surf board repairs for free and he gives me pommelos everyday) i am excited to go but now i just need to find a wetsuit in my size for not too much money. me=poor.
what else... well, i had some training in xml which was really cool and pretty soon here i am going to start training for dba certification. i'm also fixing to start vb and refreshing my java skills. that is more where i am headed in my job for right now and that is exactly where i want to be. i need to sharpen these skills to add to my gis repertoire and then i can polish my rs skills and satellite knowledge-it's a long road but i'll get there eventually.
dude, i just took a shower and got a huge bloody nose. vegas must have a much different climate than mississippi (ding, ding, ding-you've won the grand prize!) so i'm just glad i wasn't typing! lol.
uh, swimming is kinda taking a hit right now... everytime i go to the er i am just wiped. i had a meet in auburn, al and my old swimming buddy and his family came to say 'hi' from atlanta-it was just too cool! i swam probably better than i expected to after having been in the er the week before, but still not where i need to be. and then moving, and now traveling-argh! ah, well, c'est la vie. i'll get there...
i seriously almost missed the plane here. i forgot about rush hour traffic in new orleans and walked into the airport at 7:30 with my flight leaving at 8:00-nice! oh well, i made it :D
you know, aside from all these events, things are okay. i have been struggling a little because of all the recent upheaval and i am not so good at being in flux. i really need to have a stable environment so that i have an anchor to tie to while i am off flying around in the sky. however, i do think that it has also been a 'good' uncomfortable phase because it is the refining fire that keeps my life in order and my priorities straight within my personal, professional, and spiritual worlds. i guess my ego is so much in flux all the time that i am always defining and redefining who i am and where i am going. i am striving to be comfortable with my ugly parts because i know that those who truly care about me do not see the ickiness that i do-it's just finding those true friends that can be the challenge! the part that has truly redefined how i approach life has been to have thankful heart. i believe that everything is a blessing even if it seems opposite or difficult in the moment. i am here for only this time and i am thankful for the time that i have to be 24. it means that i will make a lot of mistakes and it also means that i have so many opportunities for growth! and since i must be on about life #8, i gotta make the most of it :D
i hope you are all doing well and following your dreams... or maybe, you are just starting to figure out what your next dream is... either way, do have fun because it is only in the journey that we truly live our lives-the destination is only the means to the end!
take care! many hugs and big smiles! i miss you all but i keep you close in my heart!
