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.

    (was just Googling somebody else, and I found these school bulletins:

    ... and "qualified for state...", no less !!

    I know I'm surely stereotyping, but my greatest intrigue relates to how you became interested in wrestling.

    Anyway, how cool... really!!

  2. I kind of just did it on a whim because I wanted to play a sport in the winter to keep me in shape.
    I ended up really enjoying it!

  3. Just letting you know that I got back here to find the link that you offered!!!

    Really cool (and still so non-traditional that we don't automatically have 'standards' by which to completely appreciate your efforts)
