Well hey there. Long time
no blog, huh? Don’t you worry I’m still
here. Still alive. Still kicking. My blogging world has taken a backseat to
reality. Sigh. Let me update you on all of the things keeping
me utterly busy.
The next happening since my last post was a fabulous trip to
DC. After initially hearing this is
where my work conference would be I was less than excited. DC?
Meh. Boy was I wrong.
DC was spectacular. Will and I
spent the majority of our trip (when I wasn’t in meetings) walking around and
being typical tourists. In fact, we were
walking so much that my shoe broke. In
the middle. of. downtown. DC. Trying to
hobble around with a broken shoe in the middle of summer = not fun. Thank goodness for my stud of a boyfriend who
worked his handyman skills and glued them back together. What a lifesaver :)
Dinner on top of the W hotel
The final night at The Museum of American History
After we returned home, any spare time I had was spent studying
for the GMAT. You see, they (as in
whoever creates this godforsaken test) decided it would be a great idea to add in
an extra section starting June 1st.
This put my butt into high gear, because who really wants to have to
study for and take an extra section when they don’t have to? Not me!!
Fast forward a few weeks, a couple gallons of coffee, & loads of studying and I PASSED!!
And passed with a good enough score to get me into a top 30 business
school. I was pleased, as is my
dad/boss. The original plan was to start
grad school this fall at UNO. Since I’ll
be working full time this was the only option I thought would work. After doing some research and talking to some
family friends, I’ve decided to start grad school next January at ASU. They have a fabulous online program that only
requires me to go out there once. This
will allow me to continue my full time job here in Omaha and still get an education from a
great school. I’m trying to just enjoy my
time right now, because once next January hits I will be busy.
We finally received our first phone call and letter from
Daniel!! It was so good to hear from him
and to see how everything is going. We
sure miss him and are so proud of what he is doing. It definitely gave me a whole new perspective on
Memorial Day.
Lastly, Will, Maddie and myself (along with 17,000 other
people) ran the Warrior Dash. It was a
blast!! I absolutely cannot wait to do
it next year!! It was also Maddie’s
first ever race and I was so happy to be a part of her experience. We had so much fun that we’re signing up for
several other obstacle/mud races this summer and fall. I highly recommend trying one out if you
haven’t before. There were people from
all walks of life and it seemed as though they all enjoyed it…except maybe the
girl who broke her leg. She probably didn’t enjoy it as much!
The CWS has officially invaded Omaha! Will, Maddie, her friend Hil, and myself took in a game last night. It was my first game in the new TD Ameritrade park and it did not disappoint! This was also the first game I've been to since my sophomore year in high school. Definitely an entirely different experience, in a good way!
I’m going to try my hardest to be better at updating this
thing. I know it will be worth it
someday when I can look back and read about all my crazy doings. Sometimes it’s just hard when the pool and a
cool drink are calling my name.
Until next time…
XOXO,
