What to do???

I titled this blog as "What to do???" becuase as I approach the last 9 credit hours of my college career I am becoming confused as to what is next. Problem number 1, what do I do (for a living)? I know you are suppose to have a general idea of what you want to do when you "grow up" when you choose your major, but I kinda missed that step. I guess I just thought that it would fall into place on its own but it isn't panning out that way. I have looked around at a few job prospects that could appreciate my food science degree but I keep talking myself out of sending my resume because I'm not sure if I would enjoy or even be good at any of those jobs. I have entertained the thought of getting my PT (personal training) license and just doing that for awhile until I decide what job is right for me. I would absolutly love personal training and I feel it is something I could do for the rest of my life, even when I have a "real job".

Okay so problem number 2, where do I go? I know I don't want to stay in College Station after I graduate and become one of those "old" people that never moves on. I also know that there aren't many job opportunities (for me) in Ballinger TX so moving home isn't the best idea. That leaves me with a few reasonable ideas and a few extreme ideas. My reasonable options consist of moving to Houston to be close to Brandi and Andrew, or moving to Dallas to be close to Chelsea and Alec. Both options could work but I honestly see myself in Dallas over Houston (and it is not only because of Ross haha) but Houston isn't very friendly and it is even further away from Mom and Dad. Now my extreme options are moving to Hawaii or to another country for a couple years. I know this is a crazy idea and a somewhat selfish one but I have had so many people tell me that this is the only time in my life that I could just go and not have to worry about my family or job, so part of me feels like I should really do it. I would need to have a job lined up before I left and finding a job would be difficult over the phone or e-mail but it is possible. The biggest problem with this idea is that I would have to be away from everyone that I love and that loves me. I hate going even a month without seeing my parents or sisters and I know being away that long would be really hard for me (and them) and if I moved somewhere I didn't know anyone I am worried I will be alone all the time and I hate being alone. Can you see my dilemma?

Anways, I was just sitting here trying to think about all of this and decided to blog it. I hope all is well with you. Keep my family in your prayers becuase the 1st wedding is about a month away (ahhhh) and my graduation is only 3 months away and life is going fast.

God bless and Gig'em!

So much has happened...

So it has been over a month since my last post and I'm excited to share all the "fun" things that have happened. Well on March 22nd I turned the magical 21!! Like I have said before, my roommate (Michelle) has the exact same birthday and she turned 21 as well. Brandi, Andrew, Ross, and Michelle's sister came to town and we had a blast. Unfortunately on Sunday morning Ross and I were just joking around annoyingly flirting with each other and well some how he ended up carrying me like a baby then we fell...hard. I was in a lot of pain and even though Andrew kept trying to convince me it was just a sprain I talked them into taking me to get some X-rays and it turns out I'm not a wimp, it is broken. The E.R. suggested I see a Orthopaedic Surgeon and make sure surgery wasn't needed and after talking to Dr. Giles he decided it looked pretty good but he also noticed that I had broken it in several places. They put my HUGE foot in a cast and sent me home to see me again in a week.

Unfortunately the next weekend was Chelsea's bachelorette party in Houston and me and my roommate were so excited about it. We still went and had a blast, even though I get pretty cranky when my foot hasn't been elevated. Friday night was spent playing cute games and having a pj party with all the girls then Saturday we did it big with a huge Hummer Limo and a few VIP tables at some cool places in Houston. All in all I thought it was a great way for Chelsea to go "out" ha ha.

I went back to the Doctor on that following Tuesday and all the bones are still looking great, so hopefully we are just about sure I won't need surgery. He put me in a "walking" boot that I'm not allowed to walk on but at least I can take it off and wash my foot. I go back next Tuesday to see how long I will be on crutches so please pray for me if you get the chance :)

My parents have been great, a little stressed since the wedding is getting closer and closer but I guess that's what is to be expected. Dad is feeling good and I think he actually played a round of golf the other day (which is always a good sign). They finally got the landscaping finished at the new house and I will attach some pictures at the bottom. If any of you remember our Troy house you will see a STRONG resemblance in the two houses.

Well I'm headed out to have dinner with some of the girls, life is great :) I hope all of you have a wonderful week/weekend. Talk to you soon, God Bless and Gig'em!!

Oh and here are a few pictures of the foot, party, and landscaping

In this one is it pretty obvious that something isn't quite right...and Andrew is still saying "You are fine, it is just sprained, dunk it in a bucket of ice water!"
EWWWWWWWWW
I am so sad :( Here is one of us girls at Chelsea's party...they truly are the most amazing sisters anyone could ask for.
This is the back view and my favorite part of the landscaping...an amazing 4 foot fire pit!!!
Here is the front view and yes once all the landscaping is finished all the red west Texas dirt will be washed from the house.
