Free and easy down the road I go.

So I realized that I drafted a post almost 2 weeks ago that I never finished. I decided to scrap it and start over. First of all, can we talk about how tragic it is that Natasha Richardson is dead? From a head injury from a minor ski fall? So, so sad. Ron silver died too (he was Bruno on The West Wing). Both of their families are on my mind.

I turned 23 on Monday. Birthdays are exciting, and mine was really fun. I did a bunch of fun stuff leading up to it, like wine tasting, hiking in Montano de Oro, a few dinners with friends . . . and I got to wear my new birthday dress . . . which I will wear twice more . . . thus making the cost totally worth it. Haha. I had to justify it to my mom, and boy did I.

Work was ridiculously busy the past few weeks. March is Women's History Month, and all our events fell into the same two week period, starting with Vagina Monologues and ending with International Women's Day. The Woman of the Year Award Luncheon was a week ago, and it went so well. I planned it this year, and last year, and was so pleased. Now, however, my body is letting me know it's exhausted by developing a hacking cough. ANNOYING. You can suck it body!

I leave to go home on Saturday. I'll be there for a little over a week, and I can't wait!! My Christmas was cut short, but since then, I have been stock piling hours so that I can be home for a week. Jonathan will be there, so I'll be hanging out with him a lot, which will be so nice. I'll also get to celebrate my birthday with friends from home and my family. Yay :) Also, I plan on spending a lot of time laying out by our pool getting tan. Yes . . . I need it. After the past few months, I'm excited to escape here for a bit.

I need to start figuring out what I am going to do next year. There will definitely be some conversations between my mom and I when I get home. Right now, moving back home doesn't seem like a bad idea. I could save up money and get away. I've been up here for like 5 years and it's waring on me. There isn't a whole lot holding me here anymore. We'll see though . . . jobs are hard to get regardless of the location, so I can't be too picky.

I'm really looking forward to this summer for concerts! Diana and I are going to see Taylor Swift in May and it's going to be amazing. And I think John and I are going to see No Doubt in July, which was be so so cool. I'm just excited for things to come.
