Birthday

Hi friends!

It’s quite a while since i’ve really blogged! But the down time and break has been very much needed! Work has been crazy, but good, and busy. 2 of the girls on my medical team have been having issues, so they’ve been out a lot, and i’ve been working more over the past few weeks! Phewwww. Glad things are calming down-ish.

Austin’s doing great. Late winter/early spring/spring is my favorite time of the year, while besides football season Flowers and trees blooming, grass growing, sun shining, cool air, good times. AHHHH my fave.

This year was the first time in my life i had work on Lundi Gras / Mardi Gras / Ash Wednesday! Gosh that was no fun AT ALL! It was also the first year i missed partaking in Mardi Gras! NEVER AGAIN! No matter where I’ll be living. I want to go home for Mardi Gras! Do one day of cajun/country Mardi Gras, some Mardi Gras in Lafayette, and New Orleans Mardi Gras! So much fun! There is so much more to Mardi Gras than boobs and beads, people! There’s dancing, cooking, eating, drinking, being with friends and family, parades, fun signs, balls, getting dolled and dressed up, the beauty of celebrating life!

I view life as one should celebrate Mardi Gras! Living life the best that you can, with all you have! No regrets. No looking back. Sure life may not be great all the time, but that’s okay. Just do the best you can, with what you have.

Being single sucks sometimes, but other times it’s great! Like if i was married or with kids, i wouldn’t just be able to go for a drive on a Sunday afternoon driving through Texas Hill Country  But like 2 wise friends have reminded me this week, there is a guy out there for me! And he’s been waiting for me for almost his entire life, like i have been waiting for him for almost 26 years! whoa. Crazy awesomeness, but beautiful!

This weekend Austin won’t know what hit ‘em! Some amazing bloggers that i know and love are coming to town! We’re gonna have such a good time! If you’re in Austin, let me know! I’d love for you to come meet us and have some good times too! Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler! I can’t wait to meet Holly, Jana, Megan, Emily, Savannah, and Rochelle! Jenn– we’re definitely going to miss you this weekend!

Two or three weeks ago Holly, Jana, and I started having iphone group text messages! Oh my gosh! So much fun! I love those ladies! They’re so many kinds of amazing and i can’t wait to meet them in THREEEEE days <3

Yes i realized i haven’t talked about food, eating, and exercising! Well those have kind of been at a halt over the past few weeks! I’ll be working on small changes now, making changes stick, and not giving up when i want to, or when i get overwhelmed! Makes life-long changes is something easy that comes with time, and it’s something i know that i can do!

Oh yeahhhh— in 10 days i’ll be 26! Yes i said TWENTY-SIX! WHoaaaaaaa. That’s a BIG DEAL, ya’ll! In case you didn’t know it, I lurrrrrre birthdays! LOTS!

<3
