vacation...

last day of my vacation....boo!!!  i am truly enjoying my time in illinois this week with aaron as we visit his brother's family before he ships off to the navy.  we had some beautiful weather while we were here...which made for a great day to go on a bike ride!  this also brought to my attention something about myself...i want to live in a place where outdoor activities are encouraged...with an awesome bike/running path winding through a city!  i want to live in a place where i can ride my bike to work or walk there...and not be afraid of getting mugged on my way!

i always find it funny the times where you realize little tiny things about yourself.  here i am on vacation...enjoying myself...and picking up silly little things about what i want in the city where i decide to end up!

few pictures from vacay....

 on our bike ride, we saw 9 mute swans which was awesome!!  especially because they don't normally live in illinois...according to the field guide, they are locally found in the northeast!  not in illinois!  what?! :)

 rockin the shades!

just got a good deck of cards workout in again today.  pushups, situps, burpees, lunges, 20 leg levers, and 20 squat jumps.  working on losing body fat...weighed in today at 141.6...down from 144 when i started on jan 1! :)  and i find myself eating healthier as well...both a big plus!

not missing my job one bit either...i think that means it must not be my true calling.  one semester left...and then i'll get to decide what i want to do next in this crazy journey i am on! :)  i have no idea where i am going...and i have no idea what i'm going to do...but i'll find it eventually...i have time...next week i'll be back on my normal schedule which means more time to try and sort through it! :)  have a good snow covered day!
