Life Update

Since it has been a month of Sundays (phrase credit goes to my friend Tom) since my last post I thought I would give you a little update on what has been happening in my life and what is to come.

I have started to read books for leisure. I never have done this. I hate have never been a big reader. The books we had to read in school put me to sleep and lets be honest who reads assigned readings in college? ;) Anyways, I have developed this love for reading! I am enjoying every second of it. My favorite author is Nicholas Sparks. Many of his books have been made into movies. The Notebook. A Walk to Remember. The Last Song. Dear John. The Lucky One. A Bend in the Road. Safe Haven. I have read 2 of them so far! You may be thinking well that is hardly an addiction to reading well if you know me that is quite the accomplishment! Safe Haven is by far the best book I have ever read. If you haven't read it you need to! Have you seen the movie? I was waiting until I finished the book but I haven't heard the best reviews about the movie so I am now waiting until it comes out on Redbox.

Joe's older sister is due at the end of May. They are expecting a baby boy! Family and friends can.not.wait! This will be the first grandchild in their immediate family so needless to say Grandma and Grandpa are very excited! Prenatal has been a new interest of mine working in the health and nutrition field so it has been fun.

Prom season is starting. At my sisters high school, as most high schools these days, it is a Junior and Senior Prom. My younger sister is a sophomore and sophomores are only allowed to go if they get asked by a Junior or Senior. She is dating a Junior so she is very excited she gets to attend! Dress shopping with her has never been that easy for formals and such but it went a whole lot smoother this time around! I will post pictures.

As you may from previous posts I am an avid runner but I took quite the break during these long winter months. Finally, FINALLY it is Spring weather here in Iowa and I have the motivation to run again! My friends and I are doing Dam to Dam again this year and I couldn't be more excited :) This is by far my favorite road race I participate in. A marathon is not on my To-Do list for this year. I hope to continue to run them and reach my goal of 10 marathons.

SUNDAY!! Sunday is the day I find out if I get a dietetic internship or not. An internship is part of the process of being eligible to become a Registered Dietitian. And let me tell you it has been quite the process. I started working on my application in August and sent it in in February. So it is quite a waiting process. The anticipation is killing me and just this week I have started to feel nervous. Keep your fingers crossed!! I know that if I don't get it this time around I have a wonderful job that I love to stay at. BUT it will be tough to have to wait another 6 months to reapply and almost another year until I am eligible.

Happy Friday!
