[Healthy] Obsession

I have a new obsession: Biking. Since discovering that there is a nature bike trail right next to my apartment that goes directly to Lake Calhoun..I have become addicted. It is 6 miles to the Lake and 3 miles around it, so a regular journey ends up being about 15 miles. However, lately that is not enough, and I have begun riding around the Lake multiple times (GREAT people watching at Lake Calhoun!!) or else continuing on the trail past my apartment down the other way, which adds on an unknown amount of miles as well. This is one blessing of not having cable/internet; It forces me to get outside, and enjoy two things I love: Nature and being active. When I can combine the two..I'm a very happy girl. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I can bike that many miles and not feel like death. I also feel more connected to who I am--and who God is--when I am immersed in nature. So here's my challenge: Take out your bike and go on a mini adventure--go wherever the trail leads you! You might just find a new fun activity to enjoy....and in the very least, its a fun way to exercise....and even gets you off Facebook for awhile!

Life; How i'm living it.

Its almost July. Wait, what? When did that happen!? Well, it has, and this is what I've been up to:
Tricia and Stephans wedding! We all had a blast going down to Kenosha, Wisconsin for their wedding..and also for the Bachelorette party in Chicago! It was a fun time celebrating their marriage, and also spending time with all of our college friends--we've been friends since Freshman year of college..and now we're all graduated! I hope those friendships continue for many years!!
I moved! I now live with a new roommate: Nicole. She's awesome and we've had lots of good bonding time since we are too cheap to pay for Cable/Internet yet. I also moved to the opposite side of the city, so I've had to find a new grocery store, gas station, Target, Caribou (for my internet of course!) and many more random things I never thought of having to find! I'm still looking for a new church--the last one I tried ended up being quite an experience! Don't get me wrong, it ended up being a good experience, but I don't think that will be my regular church!
I'm in another interview process! I usually don't like telling people things like that unless I actually got a new job...but its exciting nonetheless. Its for a job with World Vision...unfortunately only a part time job, but that means I could still work at the Science Museum so I'm happy about that. This is the type of job I really would love to get--so I'm keeping my fingers crossed and my prayers flowing!
I'm going back to North Carolina! On Thursday I'm flying out to North Carolina again to spend the holiday weekend with Nathan. We're planning on driving out to the ocean to watch fireworks on the beach!!! I'm very excited, and I even get to stay for 6 days this time! Super excited :). Once I get back it will only be about a month until he's home for good!! We have almost made it through the challenging 9 months of a long distance relationship!

I guess thats all the news I have for you as of now, time to make good use of my time here at Caribou and watch a couple of my shows I've gotten behind on :) God bless!
