My "New" Life

I'm sure everyone thinks that I have completely disappeared from the face of the Earth, but I'm here! My life has been so crazy lately and blogging has been one of the last things on my mind. All aspects of my life have pretty much been up in the air as of late, but I am trying to get it all together!

I have a new place of living. I moved in with one of my friends about a week ago. It is definitely going to be an adjustment in not having my own space, my furniture, my dishes, etc. I'm sure it is all going to come together soon! (September 15th to be more exact!) I am slowly trying to unpack everything and get my room together. I got rid of a ton of stuff (mostly clothes) while packing up my apartment, but it seems like I still have a ton of stuff! Maybe I need to start some more Goodwill bags as I'm unpacking. I went from having a walk-in closet for the past 4 years to having a very small closet. It is going to take some time to get used to that!

I am newly single. Not too much to share on this. We are still friends and things are fine between us. I'm just looking at the situation as time for me to focus on myself! One of the hardest parts about it all was "losing" Kip! : )

As of yesterday, I have started a new diet. I really liked Weight Watchers, but I really wanted something that was going to force me to eat healthier. I am going to try my best to eat all clean foods. I've done really well so far. (Yes, I realize it has only been a day and a half!) I think the biggest thing for me in being successful with this is to plan ahead. I went to the grocery store on Sunday and washed, cut, and bagged all of my lunch stuff for the week. I am NOT a morning person at all so being able to just grab baggies in the morning to throw in my lunchbox has been really nice. I planned my dinners for the week so there won't be any running through the drive-thru at Chick Fil A!

For the first time since Spring 2009, I am a full-time student. Being a student isn't anything new, but adding my full-time job into the mix is definitely new! I'm taking 10 hours this semester - 3 hours online. I know I'm going to be overwhelmed at times, but my goal for the semester is to plan ahead (see a trend??) so I don't stress myself out!

Not that these pictures really have anything to do with my "new" life, but they are from the Sugarland concert and my cousin's bridal shower this past weekend! (and of course my sweet, niece-dog, Daisy)
