Catching Up

Wow! I haven't updated in a while! Let's see if I can catch up from the last post...

First, I wrote a letter to my friend, Erica. Erica and I have been friends since freshman year of college. We lived on the same floor-- 3rd Timmer and bonded instantly. I feel like Erica has been my one constant since I was in college. She has stood by me no matter what. She has listened to me complain--about friends, about school, about Brad, about work, about everything! I can always count on her to know when I need some encouragement--even though we live almost four hours apart! Erica is definitely one of my closest friends!

I have also started keeping track of the food that I eat in an attempt to lose some weight. I found this great website, called Spark People and it gives me meal plans to choose from. I've been picking ones that look good and then changing certain parts to foods that I enjoy or have around the apartment. The first two days were really rough--I felt hungry all the time, but now I'm feeling better and actually enjoying it. Hopefully I will see some good results, too!

Brad started his job as a pharmacist on Monday so now I really have to make it a priority to stay home one night a week with him. But we've really been enjoying the time together. Our friends got Brad this game, called Mah Jong for his graduation. We really love it and have been trying to play it. We've also been watching ER and NCIS.

Of course, I've read a bunch of books since my last post, too. I finished Lock and Key, Wicked, The Importance of Being Kennedy, Along for the Ride, and Pretty in Plaid. I enjoyed all of them even though they're very different from each other. Most of them were easy reads, but Wicked was quite long, and very different from the musical!

Well, I think that's about everything for now. Hopefully I'll post more updates soon!
