Updates on life...

School - I took the Spring semester off because between my parents and I, there wasn't enough money.  I've had a blast and I love the carefree lifestyle.  However, I hated that I wasn't growing every day, such as I did when I was in classes.  So, I am registered for the upcoming Fall semester.

Work - It's still pretty much the same.  Hacienda took full advantage of my open availability and at times had me working anywhere from 40-55 hours a week.  They are also using my knowledge of many positions and I've been serving, bartending, and hostessing.

Relationship - Shane is still overseas and will be home for 2 weeks of leave at the end of July and beginning of August.  I read a previous entry and I was rediculous to think that things would be okay.  The distance is taking it's toll, that's for sure.  We are drifting apart.  It's a good, but bad thing.  Bad, in the sense that who knows where this relationship will go after Shane comes home for good in December.  Good, in that I'm pretty much being forced to be on my own.  I have grown a lot and learned things about myself that I was unsure of before.  My dreams and plans for the future have kind of molded themselves and I'm so ambitious to make it all happen for me.  I wish I would have realized these things earlier in life...maybe then I wouldn't have been so eager to rush it.

Friends - In this time alone, I have met so many people and rekindled friendships with some people from high school.  It has been a lot of fun putting myself out there and getting to know new people.

Family - Everyone is doing well.  Mom is still taking classes at IVY Tech. to become a nurse.  Doug still lives in Chicago Sunday night through Friday afternoon.  Branden is awaiting his upcoming marriage and getting out of the Air Force so he can pursue his dream of being a chef.  Megan is happily married to Chris and the live in Indianapolis.  Tara graduated from Air Force basic training and is currently in Tech School training for Security.

Yea, so I totally spaced that I still had this.  Thanks to my good ol' friend Jon, I thought I'd get on and see if anything new has been going on...  I'll try to update better.
