Bored






Ya know the sucky thing about having such a major surgery is how bored you get. Thank god I was smart and bought my laptop for grad school early and I have that I can play on and surf the interntet with. I have been having so much fun looking at stuff for my apartment in Nebraska. My AMAZING soon-to-be roomie has everything we need for a fully furnished place and lives much closer than I do so she is going to be using her family trailer and bring everything with her. I am flying out there with my mom on July 2nd and she will be there soon after. I am sooo excited...its crazy that I will be leaving in 3 months. Wow. I can't believe that I'll just be picking up my life and leaving for 2 years....Here are some cool things I found for the apartment so far!!!







I was thinking of putting this vinyl quote in the living room of our apartment and then the faith, hope & love below is DEFINETLY going in my room :)



and then the pic below is of the apartment we are hoping to get into....its an old school building thats converted into an apartment complex.

Well that's it for now!! I'll update more later....

New beginnings

Most of you know the very tough medical problems I have been going through over the past 8 years...and you know how tough it has been on me both mentally and physically. On March 15th, I had a hysterectomy because my doctor decided that it was the only thing I had left to cure me. I woke up feeling the same, yet different. I thought I might actually feel the fact that my uterus was gone, but I don't feel that change at all, which I am thinking is a good thing :) Another HUGE plus was what happened that Wednesday. I got an email from the director at Univ of Nebraska-Omaha. I had flown to Omaha 3 weeks ago to interview for their Master's athletic training program. Well, Melanie emailed me to inform me that I had been accepted. I wanted to jump around, but obviously because of the surgery I couldnt do that. So I am officially a Univ of Nebraska-Omaha MAVERICK :) It's pretty exciting....I move there July 1, 2010 and classes start July 12. I just can't believe it. I met a pretty amazing girl when I was there interviewing and we said if we got in we would live together and we BOTH got in so now we are in the process of looking for an apartment for us to live in...I'm pretty excited!!! So I figure since I am moving 1,500 miles away I should start a blog so I can keep in touch with my family and friends while I am gone...so here we go!!
