I feel like it's been a million years since I've posted on LJ! That's mostly because it has been. I've lived across the counrty and lived about a half dazen different lives. I was in Florida for most of this past winter and now I'm living in the town I grew up in again. Things always seem to come full circle and I couldn't be happier. I work for ( Read more... )

I'm living in Punta Gorda, Florida, now, with my boyfriend, Todd, and our friends, Candace and Kris. We're living at Babcock-Webb State Wildlife Management Area, in campers/rv's. It's awesome! It's beautiful here and the weather is great! Hurricane Wilma missed us by about 25 miles and the job hunt continues. I miss my friends across the country ( Read more... )

Hmm... I'm noticing a trend in my postings of late... Anyway, let's see.. what's new ( Read more... )

How on earth did it get to be June already?!? It seems like just last week was Christmas! SO much has happened to me in the last six months. I can hardly believe it. I love my job at REI. It's going really well. I just got home from a week-long trip back to Pennsylvania. It was incredible. I came home with two broken ribs, a bad habit, and a crush ( Read more... )

I get to go home!!! I'm so happy! My cousin Ian and I are flying into Pittsburgh on May 22nd, and flyin ghome on May 28th. I think we might be staying at my aunt and uncle's cabin on Meadow Run, but we'll be hanging out in Ohipyle most of the time. I want to go on the river a couple of times, so I'll be bringing gear. I had a thought about ( Read more... )

So, I'm now, officially, and REI employee! I'm so excited about this. It's what I've always wanted. It's so perfect for me, it's ridiculous! I'm so happy with it, I want to be with REI as a career. I'm finally feeling passionate about something, career-wise. I'm going to go to school in the fall, study business management, and work at REI forever! ( Read more... )

So much has happened lately! I've been so busy! Its great! I finally got my van fixed. It cost a gillion dollars, but it was worth it to have it in such great shape and much thanks to Mom and Grandma for their help with that. Next, I started seeing a GREAT guy named Chris. He look like a slightly shorter and more muscle-y Kevin Bacon and he's from ( Read more... )

Boy. It's almost Easter. That means that it's pretty much Spring. I should be sooo excited. But I'm not. I'm too lonely to be excited. Too bored. I'm dying to have a friend to go to the movies with. My problem now is that I don't think that just any friend would do. I don't think that meeting someone and becomeing friends and doing things with them ( Read more... )

My birthday wound up being a really nice night. Matt and I went to my fav resaraunt, Tokyo Joe's. That was fun and the food was awesome. Then, we headed downtown. Matt was born and raised in Denver, so he knows a lot about it. He drove me around for a while and showed me a bunch of stuff that I hadn't seen yet. Then we went to the amazing little ( Read more... )

So... today's my Birthday. Blah. B-day's suck, really. What you get right down to it, after you're 21, it's all downhill. I think that when (if) I have kids, I won't make birthday's such a big deal when they're young so that they aren't so dissappointent by how lame birthday's are when you're older. I just feel like it doesn't really matter that 23 ( Read more... )
