It's all about Shortcake: Week 13 & 14

So I find myself slacking once again on this whole blogging thing – sorry about that I promise to try and get back into. I wish I had some good excuse for not doing it lately but I just haven’t gotten around to it – in fact I think I have actually avoided it b/c that would mean that I would have to actually stop and think about life the past few weeks. Not that anything major good or bad has happened in life but I have kind of just stopped processing life right now – not good I know!

Anyways, let’s get to the important stuff the weekly updates.

Week 13 was a great week b/c the bear as I refer to her but my boss was on vacation in Maui. Granted she was on the crack berry 24/7 but at least she wasn’t in the office. Since she wasn’t in the office my whole entire team was in great spirits all week and we actually got to have lunch away from our desks. This week I also got the privilege to celebrate to great guy’s birthdays – my dad’s birthday was on Wednesday the 17th and his brother my Uncle Jimmy’s birthday was on Thursday the 18th. Happy Birthday Guys! The only low point in the week was that the monster felt the need to rearrange my dresser draws – really not that big of a deal just more annoying and invasion of my personal space yet again. The week definitely ended on a high note as I headed to Granbury to my family lake house on my mom’s side. We had a great time just hanging out as a family and just being in the sun.

Week 14 – I know week 14 isn’t technically over yet, but the remainder of the week will get it’s own post as I am heading to Seattle tomorrow morning with Brooke, Amit and Allen, so that Amit and Brooke can run the Seattle half marathon. This was the race that I was training for prior to getting hurt in Brazil. So while I am extremely excited about the trip I must admit that it is a little bitter sweet b/c I am going but I am not going to be able to run. Enough about that for now. So far this week has been an amazing week – I have had the chance to celebrate two great friends’ birthdays – Happy Birthday Anne and Kristen! I am so thankful for these two girls as they have been apart of my community for a little over two years now – crazy to think it has been two years already in some ways but in other ways it seems like we have been friends for a lot longer than just two years. The other highlight of the week was being able to have a wonderful dinner full of laughter with 6 of my Brazil girls. I truly love those girls and am so thankful that they have become apart of my life – I keep secretly thinking (I guess it’s not such a secret now that I am writing it on here) that they are going to wake up and realize what I goof I really am and say we are done with you. I know that is just my own insecurity but part of me is afraid of it nonetheless. Only time will tell, even though I think I know the answer already.
