Happy Birthday!

As everyone knows, yesterday was my birthday and I got everything I wanted. It's kind of funny though that the theme of all my gifts was exercise! I guess that is a sign... I'm going to start playing tennis again so Em got me a new pink tennis racket and some tennis balls. Mom and Dad gave me an ETSU shirt and something for me to get myself what I want. Moon got me the Wii Active so I can start a workout routine at home. And Julie and Josh gifted me a tattoo which I got last night. I love it! It is to remind me to slow down and take things one step at a time. It's also symbolic of the DCS process Moon and I will be going through.

I debated between a frog and a turtle, but I decided on the turtle. I thought that once Moon and I have children, I will add a baby turtle behind the one I already have for each child. When I was thinking this through, I didn't think baby frogs (tadpoles) would be appropriate!

Anyhow, thank you to everyone for the cards, gifts, and well wishes. I had a great day.

Oh, how time flies and skin fries

So I decided to take advantage of the nice summer day and hang out by the pool. I could relax and then maybe get some studying in, which I did. I just didn't notice that 3 hours had come and gone, and it took my pale skin with it. In its place was lobster skin that was still cooling from the steam pot! Suntan lotion will be my new best friend.... I hope!
