Long time no write...

Busy busy busy....those three little words explain my life right now!

I've been working full-time, and trying to spend as much time with Dan as I can before he leaves for Bend. I'm so excited for him to get to live in such a beautiful warm and sunny town this summer, but pretty bummed about it, too. There's not much else I can say about it other than I really hope this summer is all he hopes it will be.

Work has been going well. I realized that I'm more of a punching bag to these people than a caregiver, but what can ya do. I cannot do anything, unfortunately. But in all honesty, I really do like my job. And I have learned to love and bond with the residents I work with. I get along great with my coworkers, too, which is awesome.

Life has been good :) I've gotten to spend lots of time with Dan this past couple weeks. Every day and night! It's been awesome having him around. If he were here all summer, I doubt we'd be as attached every two seconds, but since I know he's leaving - it's hard not to be. On another note, I've been pretty motivated lately to kick my butt into shape. Although I haven't gone to the gym every day like I would like, I've been going a decent amount and really pushing myself when I am there. I even have an appointment with a trainer this Friday! :) I'm really excited about it, because I know it'll be that extra push and motivation that will help me achieve what I want.

Although I've been busy, every day I can't help but think of the importance in enjoying the little things. Sometimes Dan and I will be sitting there, thinking of things we should go do...when really some of our best moments are spent just in each others arms. There is nothing better than finding the joy in the small things. Being able to be happy and content with what you have in front of you. I love being able to say I had a great day when all it consisted of is hanging out with my family, or with Dan.

Anywho...nothing too insightful. Just hadn't been on here in what seems like forever, so I thought I'd check in. I'm sure I'll be on much more once Mr. Winterstein goes away. Until then, smile, love, and be thankful :) Lord knows I am!

p.s. Sunshine sometime soon would be much appreciated, don't ya think?!
