another perfect PRT for me - i'm so darn good :) i even beat my last swim time by 7 seconds, which is amazing since i've only been in the pool 3 times since last november. 101 situps, 46 pushups, and less than 7 minutes in the pool :) sweet!
work hasn't gotten much better, but i'm learning how to deal. pretty much i've just been beat down, and now i just take deep breaths and hold on for another day... i've made it through one year, i know i can make it through one more. and there are some good days. plus, i have this faint hope that once our next inspection is over with things will get better...

we're getting underway soon for a few months, and making some fantastic port visits in the carribean.... sandy beaches and fruity drinks, HERE I COME! i honestly can not wait. plus, we've been building up to this for so long that i just want to get underway and get it over with. and hopefully, my wonderful husband will be flying down to meet me on the sandy beaches :)

also, i played golf for the second time last friday, and i find that i'm a natural. and by natural, i mean i have a sharp pull to the right but a wicked long drive :) we had a work outting and whitney and maura (my teammates) and i believe that it's only a matter of time until we are the reigning aircraft carrier golf pros... to that end, we're going to try another 9 holes this weekend. tehe!

lastly, i'm attempting to finish the bizarrely colored office decoration. i think i've found a way to make it work. stay tuned for more pics!

Deliberate. The adjective, not the verb.

I'm getting so excited for our move.  SO EXCITED!  I'm going to finally spend adult time with my parents (which I'm sure will be infuriating and full of unintended consequences, but also awesome.)  They will be a daily (or maybe weekly) part of our lives for as long as we have them.  This is a deliberate choice, maybe a crazy choice, but one that I embrace with the little knowledge I have of the actuality of it.  I may miss the weather, but life is about people to me, not things. I'm going to live 0.4 miles away from my best friend, and 3.7 miles away from my sister.  I'm going to do real estate.  Matt is going to do a business adventure with his best friend.  This is a deliberate move.  This is a deliberate life.  This is a rebuttal to all the times people say, "I wish I could... but I can't."  Because the thing is, "There's enough time in  your life for everything important."  You are given only one life on this plane...

The Perfect Social Media Life

Watching a little Gary Vee this morning and his rant on caring about what other people think.  (Everything he does is a rant.  But an awesome rant.  I As intended, it caused me to reflect on my social media persona and think about why I post.  Honestly, I post because it's a bit of a yearbook for me.  I love documenting the great stuff, because my brain forgets (in about 0.2 seconds), and I especially love when Facebook reminds me of my memories.  I'm not trying to convince the world that I have the perfect life - I DO have the perfect life.  It's full of family and friends and experiences.  Shelter and safety and amazing food.  In fact, sometimes I DON'T post because I don't want people to compare their lives and feel lacking.  I just want to remember this amazingness for the days when it's not amazing.  Gary Vee posits that we post fantastic stuff because we crave other peoples' validation on our daily lives.  But I know eve...

All sorts of congratulations

We'll start with family... The event of the season! Lisa and Tom's wedding was this past weekend and I'm exhausted, but in a good way. My family (God bless 'em) can be so tiring... :) The wedding itself though was a phenomenal success. We got everything set up in time, the key players all showed up for the ceremony (though my parents were almost late because Colby threw a massive temper tantrum about putting on his suit), and the weather was perfect. They did a tropical/bbq type theme at an old estate (Joanna Furnace) with an accordian playing DJ. He was actually pretty good :) Saturday morning we girls went to get our hair/makeup/lives done, and Shakes was nice enough to accompany us and take pictures. Link is on the top left :) We made it to the church about a half hour before the ceremony to change and hang out, only to realize that by putting our dresses in the dryer to de-wrinkle, they had been almost ruined by a wayward dryer sheet. Other women would have panicked...
