You can tell how busy I have been, in that my resolution to blog more often disappeared immediately after the first day of school. And it has been busy! My classes require more work than I've ever had to do before. I'm reading about 400-500 pages a week, in addition to planning lessons, grading papers, writing papers, preparing my thesis proposal, attending meetings, and picking Katelyn up from school. I love almost everything I am doing, which makes it kind of fun, but it has also been somewhat stressful. The knowledge that I am hopefully graduating in May doesn't help, because I'm not sure where I'm going or what I'm doing after that.
Other than the craziness, life is amazing, though.
We went to Star Valley yesterday, to attend a baby blessing for my close friend. We stayed in a cute little lodge that didn't include modern conveniences like phones or tv's. It was fun. This morning we went to the baby blessing in Etna. It was fun to see my friend again, since it's been about two years or so. She has four children now, and they are all adorable and look like her.
As a side note, I haven't posted anything on here about my fitness goals in a very long time. Lest ye think I have given up, take courage: I have not. In fact, I just went running right before sitting down to blog. Although I am still incredible slow, I have been running several times a week for months (not without some weeks off, I'm afraid). I am excited, because I'm going to sign up for my first fun run. It is on October 27, and it is only a 2.5k, but that is still progress and I'm excited. My little sister (who is a running machine!) is going to come up from Logan to run it with me. I have lost 18 pounds so far this year. While that isn't as good as I wish, it's still better than I've done in years. Yay.
