I'm surprised.


I am always surprised at the number of people who look at my blog although it has been (yet again) a long time since I've published anything.

What have I been up to?  Well, since it seems to me that it has been since July since I've written, a lot.

I am currently interning here. <3
The tent we carried with us











First of all, HOW COULD I NOT WRITE ABOUT MY APPALACHIAN TRAIL ADVENTURE?  Jeepers.  I am obsessed now.  One of my oldest friends and I took off two days and did a little backpacking trip in the Appalachian Trail.  It is nearly in our backyards.   We only traveled about 10 miles over all, but it sure was a fun 10 miles!  We got freaked out by a salamander of some sort that seemed to jump out at us, we accidentally missed the turn to the shelter we were supposed to be sleeping at that night, and we ALMOST got lost trying to find our way back to the trail the next morning.  Oh, and God was sure watching us that night because there was a storm that was supposed to hit us and it manage to go COMPLETELY around us. I think I have screenshots of this for proof!

 These are two screenshots that I took that night.  My friend thought she heard a few sprinkles when I told her that it wasn't supposed to rain this night.  I turned on my phone and checked the weather.  Sure enough there was a storm that popped up and was going to go completely over us.  Of course, I forgot the top to the tent at the house, so it was just mesh covering the top of the tent.  We decided to take the ponchos that we had brought just in case and cut it so that it fit on top of our tent.  I kept watch on the storm until I fell asleep..and we did not get rained on ONE drop.



I am now a member of the Phi Epsilon Kappa Fraternity which is a professional recreation and sport fraternity.  That was fun.  We started up an old chapter at Shepherd University, where I attend college.  It sucks it just started my senior year, but I am trying to be as involved as I can.  I am our fraternity's Relay For Life leader which is April 10th-April 11th.

I am also on the planning committee to plan for a 5K here in Shepherdstown, WV on April 19th.  Shepherd is partnering with the Shenandoah Women's center to fund raise for ending interpersonal violence.

Even though I am packed down with my internship and working two jobs.. I have been assistant coaching an 18U travel softball team since September and I do enjoy that as well.  It takes up a good part of my time, when I don't have to work.

Fitness wise I am competing again and MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER!  I have been eating 90% clean since the beginning of the year and even my husband is on board. This makes things SO MUCH MORE easier on my part.  I am trying to convince him to compete and I think he is totally thinking about it.  Whoop whoop.

I have some internship stuff I need to do and a workout to plan for a client of mine.

Until next time!
