So obviously, I excel at procrastinating.
To sum up the last year and a half or so:
I'm still at Massage Envy. I love (most of) my clients. I'm grateful to have a job, particularly one that gives me weekends off. That's all I'll say on this subject.
I got engaged this last June, the weekend after my birthday. Took me completely by surprise. My Fiance's name is Josh, and he's good at keeping a secret without dropping any hints whatsoever. He's a Utah boy, grew up in Magna and went to Cypress High. We met 4 years ago (!! Doesn't seem that long!) I'll save the 'how we met' story for another blog.
Being best man at his friend's wedding. Looks nice in a tux, no?
Halloween
I'm currently living in Magna. Josh's aunt has a basement apartment that was built for her daughter and twin grandsons. The daughter was moving out about the time my lease was up at my last apartment, so they offered to let me have it for 1/2 of what I was paying at my last place. My commute has increased from 4.5 miles one way to 18, but that's been the only real downside. Well, that and their little shih tzu that yaps at me each and every day, no matter that I've been living here for months now, or that he just saw me 5 minutes ago. Oh well. Small price to pay for a very nice 3 bedroom apartment, with internet! And cable! I'm so spoiled now.
My cat, Tala, is still my constant little fuzzy companion. She rarely lets me out of her sight for more than a few minutes. Even when I caught a stomach bug and had set up camp on my bathroom floor for a most of the night, she was right there next to me. Snoring away on the linoleum, even though there are much more comfortable places she could have been sleeping. She's shy and hides from most of my visitors, and Josh was not happy with me when he found out I had adopted her last year. Luckily, they bonded this last spring while I was away and asked Josh to feed and check up on her. Now they're good buddies, much to my relief. I wasn't about to give up either of them.
After taking last winter off, then easing back into it very, very slowly, I'm back to running. My IT band is all better now. Was having some trouble with my 'wonky hip' around the Disneyland 1/2, but thanks to strength training and lots of stretching, that worked itself out so now I'm able to run with no problems. Currently training for the Disney World 1/2 marathon, and am looking forward to our upcoming trip with my entire family! Also planning on signing up for the Salt Lake 1/2, which is the week before my wedding.
Speaking of running, I've got 12 miles to do when I get up, so I'd better get some sleep now.
