Life's a beach

If you think about it, this is entirely accurate. Some days are calm and peaceful (my whole spring break) while others involving an earthquake end up creating a tsunami, destroying everything that was once serene and undisturbed.

I keep staring at my promise ring Isaac gave me while I was in Texas. Diamonds are absolutely beautiful. So shiny and mesmerizing. I find it amusing how many people had their first reaction of thinking I'm engaged, even though the ring is on my right hand. I'm thinking April 1st I will switch it up and see if anyone falls for it. What is a promise ring? I know some people have mixed feelings about them; basically it is a pre-engagement engagement ring, which I guess sounds silly. I look at it as a sign of Isaac's love for me and knowing he's serious about our relationship. That is comforting to me and keeps me hopeful about our future together.

Next quarter my credit load will be at the minimum of 12. I started looking for jobs that could possibly carry onto summer. I found a lady who posted just today looking for someone to babysit/ do some house cleaning while her husband is deployed. I think that would be really cool to help out, so that's an option. It has been way too long since I've had a job and having money would be nice.

I'm starting to drift on my workouts for track. I guess it's just not really my priority anymore. I feel like I have spent too much time and effort worrying about my performance, but why does that even matter? I basically just stuck with track during college to keep in shape, not to be the best, not to try and prove myself. I had a dream a few nights ago about wrestling and when I woke up I missed it so much. I really had a heart and passion for wrestling, never for track.

53 days until Isaac comes home. That's way too many.

Blessed

Well, I survived my trip to Texas. It was challenging, but seeing Isaac made me so happy.
This past week has been super busy. Getting things turned in and preparing for finals has been stressful. Not to mention the track meet yesterday at PLU in the cold and rain was pretty miserable. I am ready for spring weather. I am more ready for Isaac to be back and track to be over so I can spend my time with him. That's going to be a while though. Being patient is hard.

I went to church and hung out with my sister today. During our conversation I realized how far we've come and how fast we have grown up. It seems like just yesterday she would be screaming at me to get out of her room, now we are talking about our relationships and possible marriage plans. Crazy!

I feel like this post is all over the place, but whatevsies!

The destruction of a 8.9 earthquake and tsunami in Japan is completely devastating. I can't even fathom what would happen if that happened close to home and affected all my friends and family. Definitely want to pray for the people of Japan and stay hopeful for the searching and rebuilding efforts. It hurts to see these types of disasters in the news :(

2 finals on Wednesday (which is my 5 month anniversary!) and 1 on Thursday. Then free for spring break and no plans to tie me down, perfect!

Y'all

Greetings from San Antonio,TX!

I really wish I could write about all of the fun I'm having and how nice it is to get away from Ellensburg. Don't get me wrong, the 78 degree weather has been wonderful and much appreciated, however it's been the most stressful trip I've ever been on. Traveling with my boyfriend's divorced parents is . . I don't even know how to describe it, definitely dysfunctional and definitely unpleasant. It has been a struggle staying positive, but seeing Isaac and being with him is worth it, somehow. I really must love him if I haven't bought myself a plane ticket back home yet haha.
*Sigh*
At least they have quite a few tracks on base so I was able to get a track workout in, which was very much needed. Getting in shape is hard :( Also, since it's the south, I've been eating the most unhealthy food ever. I feel gross.
I'm praying tomorrow is a better day, we get to spend the whole day with Isaac since his graduation was today. Also, instead of him having to be back at 8pm tomorrow night (which is when they're required to return, it sucks) he has the opportunity to go to a hockey game at 7, so he will have at least 2 extra hours! Sweet!

Getting enough sleep is not an easy task. Since the time difference is 2 hours here I want to stay up later, but everything starts really early. Technically, (Washington time) I've been going to bed at 8 and getting up at 4.

Anyhoot. I love Isaac, he hasn't changed too much but has definitely matured and become more proper (he's required to say sir and ma'am, it's weird). I look forward to the day he finally comes home (May 17th) but when he leaves for tech school on Monday in Mississippi, he's allowed to use his phone/laptop! What a luxury.

I guess I should go to bed. Love, peace and chicken grease!
