UPDATES GALORE! 'cause I've been slacking!

   I have not written in what seems like forever! Sorry about that. Life has been crazy! In a good way :-)

   First of all, I've been a married woman for 2 weeks now. Our wedding was amazing! I'll post about it in more detail when we have more pictures.  :-)  Married life is great!

   Grad school is hectic, but going great so far. It's great going to class and actually caring about everything we're learning about! I'm working towards a Master of Science in Recreation Studies (Outdoor Recreation & Education) and an Environmental Sustainability Certificate. For my first major project, I've chosen to investigate how to make endurance races more environmentally sustainable.

   I'm currently training for a marathon and ultra. The marathon is an awesome trail marathon that I have also done in 2010 (called the Bobcat Trail Marathon). All of the proceeds for the ultra will be going towards funding for a camp in the Mohican State Park area. I have a friend who works there and told me about the race (called The Fuzzy Fandango).

   I finally bought a kayak! Actually bought it off of one of my professors. Isn't it beautiful?  :-)  I'm open to suggestions on what to name it. Yes, I'm one of those people who has to name my possessions.  :-p Gives them more personality.  :-)

My awesome new kayak! :-D

   I finally upgraded to a smartphone in August and am still very much enthralled by it. I named it Bubbles because of the sound it makes when I click on things. Hehe!  :-)


   That's all for now. I'll write more detailed posts over the next couple of days about fun things I need to catch up on.
