In the last two months I:
- Celebrated my 23rd birthday in Little Italy.
- Took Restorative Yoga Teacher Training.
- Went to the Yoga Journal Conference.
- "Graduated" from college at Yankee Stadium.
- My family visited and we had a lovely time.
- Nate's family visited, the nice ones as least, and we celebrated his graduation.
- Cooked some ahhhmazing meals, I'm getting more and more domestic each day.
- Nate and I went to California for almost a week!
- My best friend Didi got married. It was beautiful, she was beautiful. I love her and wish her and her husband Kasey all the happiness in the world.
- Nate and I visited with Lisal and Scott and lived the life of the rich and famous (well, sort of) in Glendale and ate excellent mexican food.
- I bought Nate rainbows so he can become a true Californian
- My good friend Aaron and his partner puppy-sat Pumpkin while we were gone and fell in love with her so much they decided to get a Cavalier of their own. I gave them Pumpkin's breeder's info and they are taking home Pumpkin's real little sister in the next few months!
- Nate spent a few weeks as stay-at-home father to pumpkin while he looked for a job
- Nate found a job, nothing good, nothing permanent and left
- I looked for an apartment with my good friend Kathleen for a solid three weeks of stress and uncertainty
- We CROSS OUR FINGERS found a place the other day and are waiting to be approved
- It's been HOT, like dangerously hot.
- I took Pumpkin to work with me, everyone loved her
- I got matched with my favorite and most adored teacher for the 300 hour teacher training which I start a month from yesterday
- I had more than a few breakdowns
- I realized the next few months are going to be rough but I'm going to hold on tight and keep chugging along.
