Well this past week has been Tyler and I's "Back to reality week" We had THE BEST time at home. We were able to spend half the time at my parents house and the other half of the time at Tyler's parents. Then the last weekend, I went to Raleigh to visit all of my best friends in the whole wide world! This was a big deal because it was Tyler and I's first time at home being married. Yes, it was weird to stay in the same bedroom and be married in front of our parents. But it was also a lot of fun. We had game night with my parents one night where we played Scrabble and Sorry, we played Scategories at Tyler's parents house, I painted pottery with Elizabeth who was the flower girl in my wedding, we ate at all the good places to eat that we miss down here, and just spent quality time with those who we miss. The sad thing is that I didn't take any pictures while at home....so ridiculous. But we had a really good time and enjoyed being back in NC and seeing everyone. In Raleigh it was sooooo nice to see Meredith, Kara, and Amy. They really are the most wonderful friends and I have truly missed them. I missed laughing, seeing each other, hearing about their days, and how their lives are. We honestly sat around for 2 days straight and just talked...we talked about our lives and being married and how we are always going to make it a priority to make time for each other. I love those girls and can't wait until we see each other again! It won't be too long girls!
Now that we are back, we are trying to get back into the swing of things. We have been waking up early and exercising each day. I take Trigger for a walk/run, and Tyler goes to the gym, were trying to eat healthier and smarter, I am back to work at both jobs, Tyler is back to work also, and I am starting to get more involved in Zonta! Going back to working 2 jobs has been pretty tiring, but I'm hoping to cut some of my hours soon. I have basically been working 20-25 hours a week at Sweet Savannah's on top of DRC...yes I know that is too much!
Today I went back to my bible study that I have missed for the past 3 weeks. It was so nice to see them and just feel back at home there. I am really enjoying the study we are doing. Its called "The Shelter of God's Promises" by Shelia Walsh. There is a really good DVD that goes along with it. Feb. 21 is our annual fashion show. If you don't remember, I was a model last year in it. This year I get to sit back and enjoy the show! That should be really fun too. I also went back to Zumba today. Man, there were a lot of people there! I guess after all the superbowl parties, people were more motivated. I barley had room to dance :) I think I might even try a kick boxing class they have. I've hard its really hard but can burn up to 1,000 calories in 1 class!! CRAZY!
Other exciting news is that I found out I am going to start working with Kilo at DRC!! He is our 10 year old male sea lion! I am so so so excited and this is something I have always been very interested in. It is going to be a very slow process because there is a lot for me to learn, so I am really looking forward to build my relationship with him! Also a potential career change for Tyler might be happening also. Tyler is thinking about joining the Sheriff's department down here!! This is also something he has always wanted to do, and I am completely supportive. I really think its going to be a good thing. We aren't rushing into anything though, so don't be expecting him to be a cop too soon, just sometime within the next few months he is planning on applying.
It is raining here today and I have to work at Sweet Savannah's at 3:30 and then again tomorrow at 2. And then on Sunday Patty and Mitch will be here!!! Patty is one of my moms best friends and I am so excited they are coming to visit!! We are really looking forward to seeing them and being able to show them around. Bear and Trigger are doing great as always. Bear is running around the house right now while Trigger sleeps on the floor next to me. They have really bonded and it is really cute to watch them together sometimes. I apologize for no pictures, I promise I'll start bringing my camera around again. We miss everyone and hope you all have a great day!
