Still Vacationing

We headed out early this morning to catch an 8:30am whale watch. It was an *awesome* day. Sorry for the continually short posts, but well... I'm on vacation. :) I know you understand.

(ack. can't upload photos... I'll be back!)

Rainbows at the Beach!

Vacations, Vacations

I am currently on week two of my three week vacation. I have NOT been good about checking in or checking everyone's blogs... I'm going to have lots of catching up to do! Vacation has been absolutely perfect and I'm loving every minute of it. Hope all is well with all of you!

Last Day

Today is officially my last day at work. This is *so* crazy.
I'm leaving at 4am tomorrow morning for three weeks of beach vacation.
Life is...so good.

Not sure how much I'll be able to update the blog while I'm away, but I'll be thinking of all of you. (Inbetween long beach runs, ocean swimming and sipping sangria/margariita/G&T's/etc.)

Like I said, life is. so. good.

I did week one/day one of the pushup challenge last night. 7 pushups, rest, 7 push ups, rest, 5 push ups, rest max pushups (9). DONE! :) It went really well, I'm just not sure that I am getting low enough to the ground (bending my arms enough?). How can you tell if you are?!?

100 Pushups

Okay, I forgot to start the 100 pushup challenge after I talked about it here, but I started Monday and did 11 in a row. I bumped myself down to the 6-10 category and I'll be attempting week one/day one tonight before jazz. I'll let you know how it goes... I'm sure you'll be itching to find out. :)

BAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay. I tried. I really tried. This day is NOT getting better. AHHHHHHHHHHH.

FUNK-y

I have just had a couple of days where I am totally in a FUNK. Nothing feels right or seems right and everything is just completely overwhelming! I'm attributing it to getting everything finished at work before I go and getting ready to be away for three weeks...who knows. I DO know though, that if my attitude doesn't have a serious adjustment I'm putting myself in the naughty corner for a while. I need it.

We spent a day over the long weekend out on the lake tubing and waterskiing (which you know, I love) but I took a pretty nasty fall and my arm hasn't really been the same. I was hoping that it would fix itself but it looks like I'm going to make an appointment to see the Dr. before I head out at 4am Friday morning.

Ack.

The News

So...I know I had some of you on the edge of your seats last week. Here's the story:
some changes have been brewing around here for quite a while and last week they finally came to a head.

I am moving to Connecticut. I have been offered a position teaching Kindergarten at a private school in Fairfield County and will be going back to school to get my Masters in Education simultaneously. :) :) :)

I gave my notice to my (many, many, many many) job(s) last week and Thursday is my last day everywhere. Friday, I'm heading to the Outer Banks (NC) for a week, then straight to York, ME for our annual two week family vacation. And August? Well... I'll figure that out when it gets here.

I could not be more excited. Or terrified. :)

Hope everyone enjoyed the 4th- - my weekend was fantastic.
