I'm writing this post from my home - which means that I passed all of my exams and earned a 10-day break from classes!!! WooHoo! I've never felt this good about a scholastic achievement. :) Thanks to everyone who prayed and crossed their finger (and toes) for my success - I think it may have helped. :)
I got home on Friday afternoon and immediately went on a date with hubby. We had Red Lobster for dinner, watched "The Other Guys", and then had Baskin Robbins (two scoops - don't judge me!) before coming home. Do yourself a favor and go watch "The Other Guys". Mark Whalberg kills me.
Yesterday I slept in and then got lost on Facebook. I forgot how you can literally lose HOURS on there. Jeeze. I caught up on reading some blogs and relaxed. Then I spent the evening at the Effingham County Fair with my roomie, Arielle, and her family. Have I told you how funny she and her family are?! HILARIOUS. We ate yummy fair food and watched the demo derby. I didn't realize how exciting it would be to watch cars smash each other to bits. Totally gratifying to hear the crunching sounds. And one truck had his tires full of water instead of air. We figured it was to give the vehicle some weight - it scared the crap out of me when his first tire popped and crap was spraying everywhere. Oh, and I also got to see some fuel burned off of the track. All-in-all a very good night.
It's so good to be home. I can't even explain it. I plan to read and relax all week - and then sprinkle in some fun time at Six Flags with some friends from school. It'll be a good time, I'm sure.
On another note: I'm seriously considering signing up for the Indianapolis Health Network Half Marathon on October 16th. I need some motivation to get my ass moving and it'll actually be during our post Unit 2 break. I know I didn't have much time to run during this first unit, but now that I have a better grasp on how things work, I should be able to squeeze some running time in - plus I need the stress relief. Really need it. I'm gonna have to MAKE it happen, plain and simple. I know that signing up for an event will push me to get started and be consistent. Plus, I ran this even last year and loved it. It goes through Ft. Harrison State Park in Lawrenceville, IN and it's absolutely gorgeous with all of the colors of fall. Another perk- I can also squeeze in a visit with Jonathan & Chris while I'm in Indy! :)
Anywho... I hope everyone is well. Have a wonderful week!!!
