It's been a while.....to say the least!

So I know it's been a while but life happens and lessons are certainly learned along the way. When I accepted my new position I knew that there were challenges ahead; however, I did not know that I would have to encounter them so soon! Needless to say, the hardest thing to overcome sometimes is having to hear that you need to change something that has worked for you in the past to make it work in a totally new situation and environment. Why fix the wheel if it ain't broken? We'll just call last week my "mid flight adjustment" and file it in the "still learning" folder!





I will say that life experiences, whether they are your own or someone else's definitely makes you re-evaluate and gain new perspective. Sometimes there are no good words to offer and sometimes you just need to figure out what role you need to play in someone's life. Regardless, you tend to find out who your real friends are in the midst of turmoil.





July has officially made it's prescence known and I can hardly believe that we are IN JULY!!!! The holiday weekend was lots of fun. We spent time with family and friends and enjoyed all of our time together. Although I was a bit bummed that I wasn't home visiting, having the friends and family that I have here makes times like this so much more fun and takes the edge off of the homesickness.





Crystal came over on Friday night and she successfully re-created the white chocolate pretzel pancake!!!! I can't lie....it was amazingly good! I think she was a chef in her former life!

I give you permission to imagine how good this tastes because I promise it tastes just as good as it looks! YUM!!!! Yay for Crystal! ;o)
