dakota, i love you.


So...life has been very hectic lately. I don't really even know how to explain it all. It's already April!! To begin, I went up to Boone not too many weeks ago and as always, it was amazing. I had some great times with Kathryn and Corey as always. BB nights, what up!
I had always wanted to leave a beer bottle right at the bottom of those stairs and I sure did just that. Anyway, I ate all my favorite things and got to hang out with some of my favorite people. The tweets from that night were pretty freaking awesome too. It was so nice to rekindle my friendship with my old roommates, Carla and Sarah. I do miss those girls so much. Anyway, back here in Charlotte I have been tutoring more than ever now and it is so exciting. I have wonderful kids and they just inspire me to do so much. Hard work...but it's so worth it. I have had a few setbacks lately in regards to things that I have literally no control over and all of you know how much I hate that. I think that lately though I have really been able to feel better about not knowing where I am heading. I wish with all my heart that I knew things would be ok...but I know that no one can tell me that. However, I've found ways of keeping myself busy and with short term goals at least. For instance, Showmars has been so much fun with Chris working there and Christine and Nick make it worth working there. I've learned so much more now after coming back from school and it's nice. Especially since now there is Yoforia right across the street! Aside from my Showmars and tutoring stuff going on, I have decided to sign up for my first 5K! I wanted to blog yesterday because I ran my best 4 mile yesterday and my best 3 mile today. It is so exhilarating! I cannot express how much I love running now. I was talking to Katie about it (I'm sure over some coffee or a soccer game), how I never really would have considered running to be a favorite anything for me, esp in high school but now that I don't have IM or any other kind of soccer running has become a great sport for me to stay active in. I have had my old shoes for such a long time and my knees progressively get worse so I decided that it was time to get new shoes...check these motherfuckers out!

Nice aren't they!? I am so excited. Oh and not only did I buy new shoes...my dad got us a new car. It's a Lincoln and it's apparently mine now. Yes, yes, I know what you are all thinking...what about Dakota? I am not even going to get started on how much I love Dakota because it literally gets me teary-eyed but I will say that it is in good hands. Dakota is now Chris' car. I couldn't have asked for a better owner and I am sure that as soon as this Lincoln has an App sticker on it, it will be fine. Still, I just need some time to get used to leaving Dakota. Boone this weekend and a busy week ahead...lets do this.
