My Absence

So much has been going on lately that I have only thought about things that would be fun to post about. I never actually get to it though.

To start with, I went back to school this semester. I begin my masters program in the spring, but I decided that I'd take a few science courses before that so I could get an additional science endorsement on my teaching credential. So many science courses (2 of those being physics) at once is more overwhelming than I thought! Here's a "you were right" to those who are saying "I told you so" :o)

On top of that we've been having a lot of fun. We visited family down in S. Ca and even spent the night with some friends while we were down there. Last weekend we went to the balloon races and this weekend we will be sipping Pina Coladas on the beach in the Carribbean. Then we get back and Im planning a killer 30th bday party in Lake Tahoe. It seems like every weekend has been filled with lots of fun and excitement this summer.

It wasn't until the other day that I began thinking how truly happy I am. I have a wonderful family, I am surrounded by good friends, and I am experiencing a self-satisfaction that I have never felt in the past. I am confident in my beliefs, in my appearance (well, as confident as a woman can really be), and in my abilities. I can't help but think about what it is that has brought this on. Is it just my age? Maybe it took 30 years to "figure it out". My weight loss? Maybe its a combination of both.
