Good Lord... I haven't written in this blog forever. Mother's day was a lifetime ago. I've been so many places since then and guess I should catch you all up on my life.
May - I spent some time in New Jersey, not the jersey shore life or real housewives of new jersey style. I was holdin' it down in Somerset. It was a busy Memorial day weekend for me but good weather and some great people.
June saw me becoming EXTREMELY busy with work. Learning my way around my job with some fun trial and error but getting things done nonetheless. It was a challenge and in a way I felt like I was treading water and trying to stay afloat. I flew out to Seattle and spent some time out there for work and got to visit my amazing and beautimus friend Angela! I stopped working at the AAC and started my tenure on the board of the Black Alumni of SMU. So excited and ready to get more involved at school.
July saw me stay just as busy getting ready for my largest accounts largest event. That seemed a bit confusing but you get the idea right?! I flew to Chicago for a few days and even went to a CUBS vs. CARDS game!! Went to the beach, had some Giordano's pizza and a few drinks ;) . Long walks, funny and crazy situations and fun photo opps were there for the taking. GO CUBS GO!!
August saw wrist surgery and IRELAND. BOO/YEAH all at the same time. I failed ot mention hurting my wrist in San Antonio in May but I did and I did it well. You know me.., I'm seriously accident prone and this was no different. I ended up having to have wrist surgery and man oh man has it been better but awful at the same time. I am still suffering some side affects such as nerve tingling, numbness and weakness. I'm happy thought b/c at least you can touch my hand. A few months ago my entire right arm was off limits. IRELAND - was an interesting experience (we'll leave it at that). BEAUTIFUL country for sure. Glad I could mark it off of my to do list and places to visit. I definitely want to return for a proper vacation at some point. I got to see the BOOK OF KELLS. Pretty amazing when you think how old it is and look at the shape that it is in.
September saw me getting new peeps at work and flying out to a new place Charleston, SC. I was only there for a day but will be back soon enough... humid and old are two words I would use to describe the place. Old in a good way. I also had another mini break down this month in regards to what I am doing vs. what I want to be doing. I like what I am doing but I had a chance to get down to the DIsney Magic when she came in to Galveston for the first time and it was waaaaaaay more emotional than I wanted to to be. More emotional than I thought it would be. I miss it all the way around except for the bureaucratic crap that comes with it. Now I am more resolute than ever to get my NP off the ground and need to continue to pay down loans and bills to get closer to that dream. Black Alumni goodness is in high gear and a lot of plans are underway. I like to execute so sometimes I get ahead of myself in that way but I am rip roaring ready to go and get more people involved! I have been up and down the highway again to Houston but this time to visit the city and get away, not attending wedding and visiting a man. I've been to the zoo, watched some soccer, gone to Galveston and have had more business meetings down there. I've watched my beloved SMU Mustangs play in soccer and football and have gone to see the Mean Green of UNT get some wins in womens soccer. A busy summer and a busy end to the summer.
I've caught you up now for the most part. Tomorrow is October 1st and the weather just turned cool. Good times for sure... can't wait to see what the future holds for me. I will try to be better at keeping you posted!
Ciao for now!
