Well I have not blogged in a great while and there are many a reasons for that. Blogging is funny. Its kind of like a belated birthday card or call. You forget to send a card and then 10 days later you realize your mistake. By then you feel like crap and keep putting it off. Well thats what I do anyways. The same goes for blogging. I kept making excuses today why I shouldn’t blog but I decided to just go ahead and do it because the later I wait the harder it will become.
One of the reasons I was hesitant is because I have zero pictures to share. I somehow have misplaced my camera charger and so now the thing is out of batteries and I have no way to charge it. Could turn into serious problem if I can’t find the charger soon.
So here are some things that are new in my life.
1. I signed a lease to an apartment that I won’t be moving into until September but I am still very excited. My boyfriend has just moved here and will be living there and I will join him once my year of service is done. We have been busy obtaining furniture and that sort of thing for the last couple of weeks. People are very generous here and always willing to help out. So far we have been given a kitchen table and chairs, microwave, coffee maker, bed, chest of drawers and have purchased at very reasonable prices a couch and a washer/dryer set.
2. I spent the past weekend in Denver with my good friend from college enjoying my time out of rural Colorado. On Saturday we enjoyed the sun in her neighborhood park playing wiffleball and tossing the frisbee.
3. Sunday I came home and was pleasently surprised because one of the women that I know from our local knitting group wanted to give me a loom! It is small and portable and one that you weave bands that range in size from very thin to maybe 2.5 inches wide. So you can make things like bracelets or guitar straps. You can also sew the bands together for wider items like scarves, handbags etc. Very generous gift and I am excited to get learning on it.
4. My parents come to visit tomorrow. This will be the first time they visit my new home and I am excited for them to see where I am living. We plan on spending some time in the Valley and then going down to New Mexico for the weekend. Unfortunately my brother won’t be able to join us. He is turning 21 this weekend and felt like celebrating with his friends instead of his parents. I can’t imagine why…
Ok so that is a brief update. I know its not super exciting without pictures. Hopefully I can rectify that situation soon. Keep your fingers crossed.
