Ok, so I knew that I wouldn't be someone that wrote every day or anything, but I really did think I would write more than I am. I have been trying to figure out why I don't write more often and I think it is because I always want to put pictures up. I have a computer at work, but my pictures aren't on it. Then, when I go home I am usually in a hurry to get ready to go out and don't have time to write. So...to remedy this I am just going to put pictures on facebook and write while I am at work. Like today...I'm here for 12 hours. Yes, 12. 7-7. BLAH! Oh well...it really isn't too bad. I talk to people on gchat and read magazines and books. Also, I only work 4 days a week so it really isn't bad. Last night my roommate and I went to see Julie & Julia. I really liked it! It inspired me to be better about blogging. I mean, I don't think that I am going to have 53 comments in a day or anything crazy like that (you people never comment!) but it did make me want to try to be better at this. We'll see how I do.
Last weekend was SO much fun! Well, every weekend out here is tons of fun, but last weekend was especially fun! So, Ashley is a girl that used to live here and was really good friends with my roommate Charlotte when she lived here. Last Thursday night we all got together for dinner (5 girls...so fun!) and I met Ashley then. After dinner we all went out dancing and had a ball! I really liked Ashley and she and I went paragliding the next day. One of the chefs at my work has a friend that competes in paragliding. We were going to go with him two weeks or so ago, but he had an accident and fell 1,000 feet out of the air. He broke his back, but is at home recovering so that is good. Anyways, he obviously couldn't take us anymore so we went with some of his friends. [Dad, if you are reading this....we were very careful and didn't do anything crazy. The reason the other guy fell is he was trying a very tricky maneuver that he had never attempted before. We were all very cautious.] Paragliding was absolutely amazing! I loved it! I want to get certified...I'm definitely going to look into it! After paragliding I had a kickball game (we won) and then I had dinner and went out. It was a fun night. On Saturday I had to work at 7am, so that was unfortunate but we had a cookout at our house that night and it was a lot of fun. We went out after the cookout and had a blast! On Sunday I went rafting with some people from work. It was so much fun. There is one place on the river that you can jump off a rock. It was a little tricky to get to (I had to crawl through some rock formation without slipping...don't worry...I did it!) but it was such a fun jump. I did it twice! I have a huge bruise on my leg, but it was totally worth it! Sunday night I was pretty tired from all of the activity over the weekend so a group of us went to dinner and then I went home after and watched a movie and ate smores with Charlotte and Ashley.
It is starting to get a little colder here. I mean, I'm really cold in the mornings and at night but everyone makes fun of me and says that this is nothing! Oh goodness...this winter is going to be quite an adjustment!
Alright, well...my goal is to write again on Tuesday. Maybe that's the thing to do...set goals of when I write next. Let's see how that works! Haha
*So, I just added some pictures to this post....the paragliding ones are obvious, and the other one is from the cookout we had at our house. The girl on the left is my roommate - Charlotte - and then the one beside me is Ashley and the girl on the right is one of my good friends from work - Emily...
