Decided to journal again....I need this kind of an outlet. So to catch everyone up to date on the happenings of my life....
So that's some of the highlights from my life in the last like year and 1/2. I'm going to probably post more details about some of these things in the future...but I had to start somewhere :)
- I went to Ukraine for 5 months and learned so much about myself, life and another culture. I have no regrets about my time there and I'm so glad I got to experience it.
- After I got back from Ukraine...I started working at the Cone...again and lived with the Wren's...yeah I know...as if I didn't already feel like I was a part of the Wren family before from working at the Cone for 8 summers..try living with them. No seriously...I am so glad they helped me out and I'm so thankful for such good friends.
- I have been dating Craig Schulte for over a year & 1/2 now. He proposed to me around Thanksgiving and we are getting married on August 22. I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with him!
- I haven't seen my brother in almost 3 years. Craziness...BUT he's coming home in July at least for a while...I'm pretty pumped about this. I'm also pumped to INTRODUCE him to my fiance...I know it's weird that they haven't met.
- I'm going to be an aunt. Well technically...I won't be an aunt until after I'm married...since it's Craig's sister that's pregnant, but I'm claiming my soon to be nephew as soon as he's born in July :) I'm excited to be a part of spoiling him.
- I'm sooooo thankful it's almost warm weather again. I joke that I don't have many hobbies...and Craig has a million, but he's gotten me hooked on one-BOATING. He's got his own boat and I fell in love with being out on the lake last summer. I have also successfully kneeboarded and wakeboarded...ok yeah, so I was only up on the wakeboard for less than a minute, but it was still an accomplishment.
- I'm working at an area agency on aging now. It's so much to learn, but I really do like helping people.
- I'm living in a very small town in Indiana....again.
- I have been trying to eat healthier and work out at Curves. I'm not following the strictest diet, but I definitely feel a lot better than I used to. I think I lost close to 15 pounds while I was in Ukraine...so now I'm mainly trying not to gain it all back :)
- Some of my friendships have really faded in the last year, not really clear on why and it makes me sad. But as I've been adjusting to this...I have realized how important my parents continue to be to me...and I feel like they have become some of my best friends.
- I turned 26.YUCK. It's just hard thinking about getting older...and harder to think about others getting older.
So that's some of the highlights from my life in the last like year and 1/2. I'm going to probably post more details about some of these things in the future...but I had to start somewhere :)
