I have decided that I would way rather document my life on my blog than on my facebook, so I am going to be back at it! I am getting sooo excited for Mexico, in fact, it cannot possibly come fast enough! About 6 more weeks! & me & amy may be on the same flight to Utah! As hard as it will be not to be able to see her for a year and a half, I am also excited at the new turns our lives are taking! My tentative plan (If I don't have at least a 2 year plan, I get kinda panicky trying to figure out what to do with my life!) is to go to Mexico, then come home and work Fall semester, then do Dental Assisting at KDM, do my practicum for May & June, travel for July & August (I'm thinking maybe backpacking Europe? Or Thailand? Or maybe get a working visa for somewhere?) then come home and write my DA exam in September and hopefully pass and then work! So yah, that is my life as of now! I don't love living in E-town, so little trips to Jasper (yesterday) and to Southern Alberta (this weekend) help make it better, and I have just really tried to find joy in the little things!
