Update!

Yes, yes, I know. I'm a slacker. Its already been 3 months since I updated! Eek!

Okay, I suppose the first thing I should do is give an update on how my New Year's resolutions are coming along (yes, I'm still keeping them!)

1. Finish reading my Bible:
Still chugging along on this (though I did get really far behind when I was working on resolution # 6).

2. Live in love (or stop living in fear):
This is an ongoing challenge for me, and will continue to be. But I think I'm doing an okay job. I should add on to this to continue to work on loving myself. I've been awfully hard on myself and apologizing for everything. The best response to my unnecessary apologies is the one my boyfriend usually gives. It usually goes a little something like this:

Me: I'm sorry.
Him: (Shakes his head).
Me: What?
Him: We don't apologize when we have nothing to apologize for.

(Yes, this happened very recently....and happens frequently).

3. Plan trips.
I've started saving up (slowly, but surely) for a big trip. Like a South Africa big trip.

4. Take care of myself physically.
Yep, I can run over a mile now!! And I can touch my toes again. I'm continuing to work on the flexibility bit, but I'm getting there. And I've been keeping my hair (mostly) nice.

5. Repair and/or replace old junk.
Fixed my coat, bought new tennis shoes, got rid of super holey PJ pants, and got a laptop charger. Yep, I think this one is officially taken care of.

6. Be in at least one play.
I can't believe I haven't said one word on here about Chicago!!!! What is wrong with me?! Okay, let's just say that this one is also checked off my to do list. I'll blab more about it here in a moment.

7. Choreograph a full routine.
I'm about halfway through choreographing to Concrete Wall by Zee Avi. Maybe I'll get someone to video it for me when its done so you guys can see it!

Ooookay now that that's been updated, let me tell you what else I've been up to.

First off, as I mentioned before, I was in a play! Chicago the musical to be exact. To make a long story short, this was the most fun I've had doing a show.....EVER! Usually, when I get done with the show, I'm done. I don't want to see, hear, look at, or acknowledge it for a few months. With Chicago, I was actually sad it ended. Its been over a month since it ended now and I'm still singing the songs and doing the routines. That's how much fun I had.

Since then, I've moved in with my boyfriend in Boone. I gotta say...he's pretty dang awesome. Our first task together when I moved was to go buy a bookshelf. We are both such bookworms! Anyways, we spent the majority of a day putting the bookshelf together and going through just his books.

I apologize for the terrible quality of that picture, but that's our bookshelf. We actually have quite a few books on a smaller bookshelf. Its our "classics" bookshelf, including novels such as The Call of the Wild, Oliver Twist, Utopia, White Fang, and Fiddler on the Roof. Yeah, did I mention we're a little nerdy?

Well, that is all for my update today. I hope everyone is doing well and is happy out there!
