Lately I feel like I hardly have enough time to catch my breath. Between working, trying to maintain some sort of figure, and attempting to have a social life... I am drained! There truly aren't enough hours in the day. Wednesday and Fridays are my absolute set gym days with my sisters, no if's and's or but's about it. We go in the morning around 9 and usually leave around 11:30. I love that because I always leave knowing I got a workout that was worth it! Then throughout the week I can hit the gym randomly but I really love to go for runs around the lake and on the greenbelt and do a killer ab workout at home. It's hard to get motivated at home but once I am, I get a pretty effective workout. Needless to say, this past week has been my "slacker" week. I am less than thrilled about that. I have allowed myself to eat what seems to be enough to feed a small country and I haven't had the time to get in very many serious workouts with dentist appointments, hair appointments, work, and graduation and parties. I am basically feeling like a failure and trying to get myself out of this little "funk". It needs to happen ASAP.
Graduation came and went. Whitnee is all grown up and out of high school! It's so hard to believe, it was just yesterday the 2 of us thought we owned the school, when really we were just your typical, prepster, 12 year olds. Sad.. To my surprise, Whitnee did not cry at her graduation, I, on the other hand, bawled my eyes out. What can I say? I am an emotional person. I just love Melba and all that it holds and stands for. That's the thing about small towns, it takes you awhile to really appreciate all they have to offer. Everything about Melba screams home. The slideshow started and it seems that most every country song about big timin' in small towns and bonfires with your friends really hits home. The moment I heard Tattoos on this Town, I burst out in tears..which also happened to be the moment the slideshow started, oh well, no shame. I am so, incredibly thankful that my family chose little Melba town to be our hometown. Growing up there only contributed to my momma's raising me right. The hard times made me stronger and the easy one's made it worth it. I love the simplicity of it, it's made made me a girl who's easily satisfied. Where I grew up it's all about dirt roads and big trucks. There's nothing quite like it. It's so fun to look back and reflect on the little people we used to know and be and see what we have all grown into. In the end, congrats Melba High Class of 2012!
This song, Small Town USA by Justin Moore, kicked off my Senior slideshow. I remember all year while I made the slideshow, I just knew this song would start it off. It touches my heart and is so fitting!
Other than that, the weekend is almost here! I am getting my hair done tomorrow morning which is always a great way to kick off any day. I work this weekend as well but am hoping to get a fun-filled weekend in with some long drives, maybe Idaho City or McCall. I want to go to the lake, hike, and fish. I am in need of the great outdoors and some relaxing, peace time. My little Baxter is in desperate need as well.
