Life update

Hi Friends! Sorry I've been MIA. Life has been busy, thankfully with mostly good things! Here is a little recap of what has been going on in my world.

1. Still seeing my not so mysterious man. We've had some good talks about what we are, and where we are heading. Taking it day by day and enjoying the time I do spend with him. He treats me well, very well. I'm not used to it but I'm learning to accept that this is how I should be treated. He makes me smile, laugh and all around feel good. I'm happy.

2. My 90 day challenge kind of took a nose dive. I'm really disappointed in myself. I could blame it on a slew of things. The Holiday's, dating someone new, stress at work but in all honesty I can only blame myself. I'm not going to give up on myself though. Once I return from Hawaii I plan to start the 90 day challenge again as I do believe it works, if I follow it. Will power! I know I have it hidden in me somewhere.

3. I leave for Hawaii in 11 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been counting down since 130 days. To say I'm excited is a complete understatement. It's been FREEZING in Minnesota lately and next week they are saying highs in the 0's. WHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAATTTT?? Get me outta here already! I haven't taken a legit vacation, over a week, outside of Minnesota since 2004. I'm way overdue and if I can be selfish for a minute, DESERVE this time away. My plans are to enjoy the Island, take in some sights, and soak up as much sun as I possibly can! The friend that I am visiting told me a few weeks ago that it is Whale Season while I am there so we are hoping to do a Whale Tour! I'm also interested in doing a Shark Dive. Eeeeeeeeekkkkkk!!! So pumped!

4. Work has been INSANE. This shouldn't surprise me though. Whenever I try to take any sort of time off, the place suddenly can't exist without my presence and goes into freak out mode. I take this as compliment but also find it to be a huge pain in my ass, and also causes me to question if I should be taking time off at all. Ugh.

5. I visited my Grandma last weekend. She was feeling a bit down so I tried my best to cheer her up with flowers and lunch. We laid low and chatted while watching Animal Planet shows. I get my love for animals from her. It's genetic. As I was getting ready to leave I hugged her twice, told her I loved her and as I was walking out the door she said "I better hug you one more time as I'm not sure when I will see you again." Not sure why but this jolted my heart right into my mouth. It was a wake up call. God's way of saying "Make sure you tell the ones you love, you love them, always." So I hugged her again, a little tighter that time and went on my way.

Besides those few highlights, not much else to report. Hope to write more as things settle down. Thanks for checking in! Sorry I've been a bad blogger.
