My life this year has been totally crazy and fabulous! Here's a brief update of the last 10 mths and a look into the near future.
JANUARY
Move back to San Antonio from my first travel nursing assignment in Kansas City and moved into my cousin Scott's house with his super cute dog- Corby. Working again at Santa Rosa Children's night shift (7pm to 7am).
FEBRUARY
Adjusting to life back in SA and night shift. Really enjoying being back at my church and meeting soo many new people. Also, made a quick trip to Milwaukee to see Andrew's (my BFF) last college swim meet.
MARCH
My 13 wk contract at Santa Rosa is coming to an end. Just working and more work.
APRIL
My travel assignment has ended but there is 2 wks where I am waiting for Santa Rosa to finish the paper work so I can work there as a part time employee with full time hours. Went to Breckenridge Colorado on a road trip with Austin- learned to ski in the snow for the first time!! Also, stopped in Colorado Springs- Garden of the Gods and Air Force Academy Chapel.
MAY
Summer is my favorite time of the year-- summer league swimming. This year I was going to be coaching again with my best friend- Andrew at Vista Del Norte swim team!! Since school was not out yet it made things interesting have afternoon swim practice and working night shift but I managed somehow. My cousin Ryan's wedding!!
JUNE
Swimming is in full swing! Coaching, practices, donut relays, swim meets with coaches relays of course! Breakfast tacos from Las Palapas :) End of the season with our annual trip to Schlitterbahn- the hottest coolest time in Texas!!
JULY
4th of July trip to Boston to see my cousin Apryl- Boston POPS concert, tour the city, stayed at the Omni Parker House in downtown Boston. Old car show just a great trip!! Took tons of pictures and walked many miles. Also, the BRP (Backroom Project) at Andrew's house. We did major construction in the backroom of his parents house and I learned a lot. I got to use power tools! The finished project looks amazing! Training for my first marathon (26.2 miles) and this Texas heat makes for early morning runs.
AUGUST
Moved in with my friend Nicole into her first house!! Realizing that I am not such a fan of working nights- limited social time with family and friends. Final trip to Schlitterbahn with Andrew, his dad, Ottis, Thomas and Wood -- such a blast I still have my bracelet to prove it! (for real)
SEPTEMBER
Getting serious about this marathon training. Wounded Warrior Run at Canyon Lake- 17.2 miles and I finished and lived! My church has partnered with Children's Hunger Fund and I am loving it!! Volunteering to pack food pak for hungry families right here in SA. Collision packed 584 boxes in 1 hour -- totally awesome!!
OCTOBER
Collected money from Collision (young adults group @ Oak Hills) to purchase enough food product to make 75 food paks. Plus another 45 made that night making the total 120 food paks in just one night!! All the food paks are for Children's Hunger Fund. For my 26th birthday I went back to Kansas City to see my friend Rachel, run a half marathon (13.1 miles) and eat BBQ. It was a nice getaway vacation and finished the run with a personal best time!
