Guess What!

truckYup, that’s right! My baby is back in action!

I feel 1,000 times more independent already. Now I don’t have to constantly ask my parents if I can borrow their vehicles. Phew. It’s been a long journey that has required a lot of patience, but again, I’m glad the drunk driver who hit my truck wasn’t seriously injured. My dad has to testify against him in court in January (because my truck is registered in my dad’s name). Eek!

Random picture time:

tonsilsA few mornings a week, I swim with a girl who is a few years older than me. She had to get her tonsils out, so I made her a care package full of soups, pudding, a drink, and some note pads so she can write for her husband to get her more ice cream! I even found a tonsillectomy card 🙂

It’s the little things in life that make me happy. Taking a few minutes out of my day to admire God’s creation does wonders for my perspective on life.

PicMonkey Collage1I am officially on winter break, so I now have more time to do things I don’t usually do during the semester. I took a spinning class and went to the library. Woo!

What do you like to do, but never find time to do?

New Class

About two weeks ago, I noticed that the gym I work at didn’t offer any fitness classes on Saturdays. I emailed my manager and asked her if she wanted me to teach a Saturday morning Spinning class and she said yes! It turned out that the gym was actually looking for someone to teach on Saturday mornings and I’m now that gal 😉My first Saturday morning class went well. It was small, but I think that was because my manager put signs up advertising the class only a few days before I taught it. I have been making sure to tell people in my other Spinning classes that I now teach on Saturday mornings. It’s going to be fun!

I’m now teaching three Spinning classes a week and I love it. A year ago, I never would have guessed that I’d be a Spinning instructor, or that I’d enjoy it so much because I’m very shy and quiet. Teaching others has really pushed me outside of my comfort zone and I’m glad I have to opportunity to motivate people three times a week now!
