WOOOOHOOOOOO!

Goobye cubicle. Goodbye high heels. Goodbye stupid boring mind numbing office job.

Loren and I just got the call from Neptune's. We've been accepted to the internship for December. WE ARE OUT OF HERE!

Gone, gone, gone.

Three months and we are gone. Woot!!

I just can't focus today. It doesn't help that I don't have any meds left or that I tried to self medicate with a Rock Star and a Nitro Energy pack of vitamins. Now I am just unfocused and faint.

I have things that need to be done but nothing super pressing and no one yelling at me to put the pressure on.

I just don't care. I am completely apathetic about my job. I don't care. I just need to phone it in long enough to save up the money to go Mexico but that's not fair to my employer or my clients or my co-workers.

Taking the Leap

Loren and I found out on Thursday that our landlord has put our perfect little beach house on the market.

We decided to turn a negative into a positive and are using losing our house as the push to get out and see the world.

We have both put in our applications to become dive instructor interns at a resort in Manzanillo, Mexico. Check it out!

We will hopefully get accepted for the December cycle and we will be off to Mexico for 4-6 months. Then after that, who knows? We can travel around the world.

I am so excited that Loren and I are going to be taking off on an adventure. We are going to make so many great memories!

Today was awesome...

First, we went to one of my fave restaurants in Esco. They make the best cinnamon rolls and I haven't had one in forever. It was a great way to start the day.

Then we went to our dive shop and they were having a killer sale. Loren and I both bought a bunch of gear and hung out with another diving couple, planning our boat trip for November.

Loren and I drove home, away from the FREAKING heat and went and jumped in the water. It was so warm and a perfect beach day. Loren gave me another surf lesson, then I laid out and watched him surf.

When he was done surfing, I grabbed the longboard and headed out, determined to catch a wave on my own. It was tough work, paddling against the current BUT...

*drum roll please*

I CAUGHT A WAVE!! Woot! I can officially say I surf now because I caught a wave under my own power. It was effing awesome to look towards the shore and see Loren cheering and yelling. SOOOO stoked!

Then the whole group headed out the Head for a couple of drinks and we all went to see Superbad. I was laughing so hard my tummy hurts.

There was like ten of us, passing around our contraband Jack and Coke. I loved just chilling with the crew, all of us laughing our asses off and just enjoying being together. Matt is leaving us in November to head to the Virgin Islands so it is nice to make some memories before he heads out.

Now my man is laying down, watching football and waiting for me. It's a perfect end to a perfect day. Another perfect day in the string of perfect days that is my life.

Who ever knew that life could be this good? Even through the tough times, when we are looking at our empty fridge and cracking up about eating Ramen again, life is good. All I have to do is look across the room at the love of my life. All I have to do is walk down to beach and marvel that it is my backyard. All I have to do is pick up the phone to one of the crew calling to hang out. All I have to do is BE and I know that life is beautiful.

Grateful

I needed to this because there have been some things going on in my life that were bringing me down, reminding me of past mistakes. I can't change the past. There are definitely things that I have done in the past that I regret but I also know that if I hadn't of done those things and learned from them, I wouldn't be in the position that I am today. And today I am happy.

I am grateful that I have a wonderful, stable, loving and sexy man in my life. We bicker sometimes and we get grumpy at each other but we really do have a special kind of love. He makes me smile, kisses me on the forehead, laughs at my jokes and listens when I am complaining about stuff.

I am grateful for my true friends. These are few and far between and some of them are far away but I know they are always there for me, no matter what.

I am grateful for my family. They are all very far away and yes, we are sometimes dysfunctional. But sometimes I just need to hear, "I love you best."

I am grateful for my job. Yes, I am not fond of it. But I still earn a paycheck and I am grateful for that.

I am grateful for people that have stuck by me. Actually, I am grateful for the ones who didn't because through this past year or so of trials, I have discovered the meaning of true friendship.
