Catching Up

     Hello friends!  I feel like it's a really rare moment when I publish a blog; I actually have started to write around 10 posts, but I never finish them.  I normally end up writing a paragraph and then decide to delete it because it doesn't have enough "sparkle".  But today I was reminded that life isn't all sparkles, you know?  Not every moment of a person's day/week/month has to be interesting... however, I have decided I'm not going to let that discourage me from writing!  :)

     This last weekend I finally got to go home for the first time this semester.  I didn't hang out with anyone except for my family the entire time, but I didn't get bored (actually, this is never a factor... my family is pretty much always entertaining). I got to spend alot of time with my brother, which is great.  We get along so much better now that we've grown up a little bit!!  I also loved getting to see some of my extended family as well, they're great to be around! Athough I'm almost a junior in college (crazy!!!), it still hasn't become easier for me to leave home.  Maybe that's just because I never go home so I have yet to conquer that.  I'm fine once I get back to Auburn, but I hate that moment of telling my family goodbye.

Enjoy some family Easter photos!!!











      So what's going on in my life?  Nothing but straight busy-ness.  I'm still teaching exercise classes but sometimes it can be a struggle.  Tonight I had 12 people, and about 3 of them didn't want to be there.  Whenever I'd yell "freestyle!" they would shut down and laugh at me (I mean, I am a white girl that has trouble getting funky).  Bring on the laughter ;) Despite being laughed at and forgetting the choreography occasionally, I really do enjoy my job.  Especially when I see that people are enjoying it.  Tonight, there was a girl in the back that couldn't keep a smile off of her face... I could tell that she loved it.  THAT is something that keeps me motivated.  Or to see the same people come back to my class. Besides teaching two exercise classes a week, I still have my school classes.  But really, who wants to talk about those!  Except the fact that I have a portfolio due tomorrow that I haven't started on :) Yay procrastination!

     I will be staying in Auburn this summer to take classes and hopefully get a job!  If anyone knows of someone that would want to sublease for the summer, let me know.

Have a great week!! :)
