I just realized it’s been a month since I’ve made a peep on this here blog. Oops. I am a delinquent blogger and I don’t mind!

So much has been going on. Let me list…

1) I began yoga teacher training 5 weeks ago. (see? i said it had been awhile)
training has been going well. it is wonderfully challenging, humbling and engaging. i am learning the major bones and muscles of the body and memorizing the Sanskrit names of the poses such as Adho Mukha Svanasana = Downward Facing Dog. i am also learning so much beyond the physical side of yoga. i am now very interested in chakras, which is the energy anatomy of our bodies. i can’t wait to start some teaching, which i can see will be a growth process that will take lots of practice…

2) Wedding planning is going well.
we found our band! we’ve got our flower decor sorted out. i am narrowing in on bridesmaid dresses. our honeymoon destination is still up in the air, but i am looking forward to our food tasting next week!

3) I went to NYC.
rj and i went to NYC the weekend before Halloween and had a fantastic time. we actually enjoyed the rain that everybody kept apologizing for. we also saw Avenue Q off broadway and loved it madly. it was the best fun i’ve had at the theatre in a long time. i then stayed for a couple of extra days to work at the studio there. i even got to stay in brooklyn with Lindsey for one night! i have yet to post my photos, but they are coming soon.

4) I am now in Chicago.
i am in Chicago, enjoying the beautiful, crisp, Fall weather. i will be working here for 2 more days before i fly to Houston for less than 24 hours. i must be home by Thursday night so i can be back in yoga training on Friday. it’s a whirlwind. whew!

5) Work is hard.
i am really working to grow, learn and breathe through a lot of the tumult going on at work. why is it always something? i love teaching and training, but i don’t want to be in charge anymore. i’d really like to find the courage to move on from management, but then what? there’s this thing called a mortgage…

6) I am so excited for Thanksgiving.
i get to visit my parents for 4 whole days! i am excited because i know they will l feed me well, let me rest and play board games with me. yum mashed potatoes and gravy, yum stuffing, yum pumpkin pie. hooray for giving thanks. hip hip hooray for Fall holidays!

photos soon!
