Finding time

So I have decided that every week I will write a update when i am doing my awake overnight shift. It may be a little rambly, since I get that way when I am tired, who am I kidding I am always a little rambly.
There are so many things going on in my life right now! Lets see.... it is 2 weeks from my olympic triathalon and all I can say is I AM SO TIRED OF TRAINING! I love working out, but just not in the mood to "train". I have managed to get my man into spinning classes though and he loves them! Well wait til I take him to an non beginer one, he may not be so excitted. Of course he does not know he was in a beginer one so shhhh (Dont worry he will not ever see this, that would reguire reading my blog). I have decided though that no matter what when I do the tri... I will not walk. I have to finish the race with all running so I feel like I really did it. Okay I say that on here but come the 14th that may be a different story.
Thanks to everyone who helped me raise the money for it!
Now onto boys... I mean men. I sound like such a teenager writting on her about them but the fact is, in that department, it is where I am in life. I have been going back and forth a lot over the past 4 months on weither I should be with my current boyfriend or not. We have both debated it a lot. We have a blast together, respect each other, and just enjoy what we have. We went on a trip to atlantic city for his birthday and that weekend is when we realized how great what we have really is. I suprised him for the trip. Made him wear a blind fold all the way, yeah he was real excitted about that! The first night we went to a concert we had both wanted to hear. Well we got there, they only sang one song we knew and we could not sing along so we joked a little and left. We stayed at this old old old hotel, the elevator had to be run by a operator and the bathrooms were shared in the hallway! It actually was a great place. The next morning we went for a run then off for his next surpise... a day at the day spa! It was so great we both had massages and he had a facial. When he came out from his facial he was so at ease and so excitted, all day he could not stop saying " I have the best girlfriend in the world". We both were in this total state of relaxation. After swimming in the pools we went to check into our nice hotel for the night. It was so fun. All decorated in 70's retro which he loves. I didnt know that but he thought I did and kept saying wow you know me so well. lol. So then I gave him his present. It was a book I had made about him, his favorite topic. :) We rode bikes on the boardwalk and just had a great time. We both kept saying how it felt like we were on a honeymoon, without some of the perks of the honeymoon.
So since that time we have been stuck together like glue. i mean we have our ups and downs, in fact we got in a fight this morning, we drive each other crazy and at the same time adore each other and the things that drive us crazy fade pretty quick.
The sad thing is that he leaves in 14 days to go back to Arizonia. He extended to spend more time, but that time is coming to a end. He might stay for a little bit and he has already gotten me a ticket to Utah the first week of Oct. to go to a company party with him. So now the question... what happens now. I prayed about it the other day thinking that I was going to definitially get a "it is not right" answer like I usually do when I pray about boys. Well to my suprise I did not get that answer. Im not sure what will happen between us, but getting that feeling I got when I prayed sure helped me see how scared i was all these years to open myself up. I had no idea the walls I have up. Anyway, we have been looking at places in AZ for me to move to and looking at opportunities for jobs. Nothing serious just looking. I have always wanted to live there so why not. Oh course he would have to get past my dad and my guy friends test before anything could happen.
So there are my ramblings for the night. I know it was long but Ive got all night to stay awake and need something to do. DO you blame me?

How interesting! Glad you are back blogging! Have missed it. Listen to your heart, but trust your instincts, and pray about it! That is all I can say. You really work hard, and you need be prayerful in your decisions. I am so proud of you, I am sure the Lord will direct you & you need to go with His direction and where your heart leads you. You are a smart young lady. You will know what is best. Love and hugs, Aunt Sue

I miss your late-night ramblings :) Your aunt is one smart cookie! Ditto to everything she said, and I love you! It sounds like you have the approval tests just about covered between your dad and your guy friends, so I won't worry with bogging you down with more qualifications, but just know, he better treat you like the queen you are, or....um....I'll have to get back to you on the consequence :)

P.S. Arizona IS closer to Utah I believe :)

If you need to walk, walk. No one would fault you for that. About the boy stuff...please don't move out there until you guys have a MAJOR commitment. It seems like you have the better job, maybe he should look at moving to VA?

Um, move to Sierra Vista, AZ!
