Quarterlife Crisis

I was reading through my blog the other night and realized a few things...

1. It's been over a year since I found out that I was accepted to the summer 2009 child life internship. Now I'm working and preparing for the certification exam this summer. Time flies! It seems like yesterday I started this whole career change journey. And now I'm finally doing what I love!

2. I never blogged about Lucy's wedding or my family's vacation to the Outer Banks this past summer. So here's some pics and such below to fill in those gaps :) I'm a bad blogger, oh well :)

Lucy's wedding was wonderful! A great weekend and a beautiful wedding and fun reception with lots of dancing and of course cake!

Outer Banks, NC Summer Vacation:

I believe my sister and I successfully climbed almost every lighthouse in the OBX last summer. We had a great vacation despite the lack of beach time. Our day at the beach was not successful with high winds and cold temps. We managed to see as much as we could from the northern end (Duck, Corolla, Currituck) to the southern end (Cape Hatteras). We stayed at a great B&B in Kill Devil Hills with nice folks and yummy breakfasts! Maybe we'll get to go back soon :)

Ok now I think that is everything :) Hopefully I haven't left anything else important out!

Tomorrow/Sunday I will be enjoying this

and this

Because thank goodness for Sundays in Lent!

Today I got a free car wash :) The local "Quick Quack" car wash here has a deal if you buy the "Best" car wash, you get a free wash within 5 days. So I took advantage of this perk today before the predicted snow hits this weekend. Btw, Quick Quack's mascot is a huge yellow duck. seriously. Not sure what it has to do with a clean car, but whatever.

Yesterday I got a pay raise after my 90-day review (hard to believe it's been 90 days). Oh happy day :) Review went great and extra money never hurts!

I gave up desserts for Lent this year (um so not a happy day). However I have rekindled my love for frosted mini wheats for breakfast and dinner too hehe (happiness). I will live for Sundays until Easter when I can indulge in some of my frozen girl scout cookies mmm!

Tomorrow/Friday I have just a half day of work woohoo! Even though I had to work a super long Monday at both jobs, it will be worth it tomorrow afternoon for sure!

The Olympics have started and Lost has begun again. Yay!

My family is coming to visit me next weekend wahoo! Let's hope for no snow and no cow stinkiness hehe :)

I am resettled in my new apartment and it is wonderful! Better neighbors, better apt altogether. My apt now smells normal and clean and not like an ashtray. yay.

That's all for now! Cheers :)
