Year Lapse

Fun memories and just fun to look back at the things that I have done this year. Check out your year and see if you have been doing the things you want to do and have been with the people you want to surround yourself with.

The Tides of Change

Every year, around the holiday season, everyone plans and sets goals for themselves to be a better version of themselves. To spend the next year growing and honing in on different goals/achievements. Often times trying to create new habits or living styles. Ultimately a great deal of these resolutions fail, because the discipline is not there, or maybe someone shot too far out. Making an unrealistic goal for themselves. If you never have exercised in your life do not say that your goal is to workout 7 days a week. That is unrealistic. Rather, I say take these changes one step at a time. Make them measurable. Give yourself check in points. 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, etc. Everyone wants to grow and evolve. However, everyone likes to keep things familiar or make excuses why they can't achieve their goals as an attempt to rationalize. With all of this in mind I have really been thinking on what this last year presented me with and who I want to become in 2018...

Deep Thought

I can feel the tides of change coming to me. There are opportunities that are presenting themselves to me. Within this year alone I have flown on a plane and traveled more (in terms of trips/year) than any other time in my life. I have lived out of state for a summer, traveled to Chicago a handful of times, lived in Texas for 6 weeks, spent 9 days in Amsterdam (visiting Europe for the first time), traveled to Kansas City for 2 weeks, and I am currently gearing up to travel for an ENTIRE summer! There is also some potential for me to live in Washington for 3 weeks (while working), as well as, a chance at farming in Thailand for 2 weeks. There are so many opportunities in life and I want to take hold and grasp as many as I can while I am given this chance. With all of that being said, there is also a great strain in terms of finances for these trips.... while also paying a massive amount of bills at home. So in the back of my mind as I travel I find myself coming back to these worr...

Side Street

Being back in the New Prague area for work the last couple of weeks has been such a blast from the past. I miss the people of NP, my first grade team at Falcon Ridge Elementary School, Etlin's Cafe, New Prague Trojan sporting events, small town festivals, driving down main street, eating at Lau's Bakery, Montgomery volleyball and bar scene, Home Plate in Le Seur, dancing at Whiskey Business, there are so many things that I miss about that town.  It baffles me to see how my life is shaping itself outside of my envisioned life years ago. After college I had "it all," as I was living in a small town, teaching 1st grade, and thriving. Had my community, my school, my career, made big boy purchases (first new car, etc.), and I was solidified. That was going to be my life and I was ready for the adventure. My roots were beginning to settle in. I love everything about the town, its people, the culture, the feel, and I could see myself growing old there. However, after having ...
