Moving. Boyfriend. Babies...OH MY!

I made it back from 2 weeks in Maui with one hell of a tan and a handful of stories only I would acquire. My brother got robbed at knife point, I sliced my foot open on the reef trying to kayak, I blew my eardrum out diving down too deep to tie the boat to the mooring, managed to gain like 5 lbs on vacation, and snorkeled at the same spot that someone disappeared from the next day (and was never found). That's just the cliffnotes version of course ;) I'll try to get together some pics for a future blog :)

So much has happened that I don't even know where to start. Let's backtrack a bit. I didn't get into the radiation therapy program due to my own stupidity. Funny how life works out though. If I want to reapply to the program, I have to wait an entire year. Which gives me an entire year to basically do whatever the hell I want.

So I thought to myself, Self-what have you always wanted to do but never had the 'time' or made the plans to do? Move to SAN DIEGO! So that's what I have decided to do, I am moving to San Diego, BECAUSE I CAN :) I have to take a couple of classes down there (because of course as my luck would have it the program I want to apply to has now added two more prereqs to apply to the program for 2011) but otherwise, it's gonna be amazing.

Now here is the best part and why I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Remember when I mentioned heading down to San Diego for a mini visit recently? Well it was during that very same visit that I met the MOST INCREDIBLE GUY EVER. I mean really. We have been inseparable ever since we have met (as in talking all day, everyday) and I am absolutely crazy about him. Ready for the SHOCKER??

I think I am gonna move in with him! :O I know, everyone thinks I am crazy, but it feels right and even though we've only been together for a few months, we've talked about ALOT of stuff and we definitely want to start building something together. I used to look at those people that get married just months after having met eachother and thought that they were completely NUTS, but now I get it. Not that we are getting married soon or anything (don't worry Mom & Dad!) but with him I feel like I just KNOW that it's right. This is what it's supposed to be and feel like. I've never felt that before and it's pretty damn exciting :)

I went down to Santa Barabara this weekend to see my best friend, Jess, and to attend her baby

shower. She is due in just a couple weeks and it was so great to spend time with her before she has her hands full with TWO boys. Her 20-month-old is the most adorable little boy ever. The kid even fist bumps, how awesome is that!

I gotta get back to packing, I've got 5 weeks to box up stuff, throw away crap and get it all down to SD all the while working 6 days a week. Wish me luck! xo

❀❀ Aloha! ❀❀

Wow! It's been over a month since my last post...and OH MAN the things that have happened! Don't worry, I will be sure to reveal everything shortly ;)

Right now, I am on vacation with my family in Maui for the next two weeks and it's absolutely perfect. I had forgotten what it feels like to have a day or even moment with nothing on the agenda. It feels incredible to do whatever I feel like in that particular moment. If only real life was like this.

I think in general I need to focus more on 'enjoying the moment'. I am always so worried about what I have to do next, or later that day, that I never allow myself to appreciate the time that is right in front of me and passing by so quickly.

So for the moment, I am going to appreciate the hell out of this mai tai....

Starting the Master Cleanse

As part of my 2009 New Years Resolutions, I had made a goal to complete the Master Cleanse:

It's a 10-day detox where you basically only drink a mixture of fresh lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup. YUM! It's a bit more complicated than that, but I won't bore you with details. Anyways, you do the detox for 10 days and afterwards you are supposed to feel super healthy, totally energized and your body is 'free' of toxins. Oh yeah, did I mention you lose a few pounds too? Apparently, Beyonce did it for the movie Dreamgirls and Tobey Maguire did it for Spiderman.

I never got around to starting it, but the time has finally come. I am starting the 10 day program tomorrow and I am super excited and nervous! I hope I have the strength to stick to it and not give into any cravings. I am going to San Diego in a couple of weeks and then on a 2 week vacation to Maui in June so I want to cleanse my body, feel good and look good.

Wish me luck! :)

#3 Radiation Therapy Part 2

I recently emailed the director of the radiation therapy program at my school to find out when applicants might hear a back about acceptance into the program...

"Due to an usually large number of applicants to the RTT program this year, we will not be able to notify students as to their eligibility for the lottery until April 15th at the very earliest."

Great. I just happen to have the worst luck ever so this 'usually large number of applicants' deal really isn't helping me out.

#4 Insomnia

Why can't I sleep. Why? Why do I wake up so frickin' early? Grrr....

#5 I Need to Lose 15 lbs, STAT!

I am going to Maui in 2 months and I will look good in a bikini, damn it! The past couple weeks I have been totally slacking with my gym routine. I usually make it in there about 3/4 times a week, but between being exhausted and busy (and probably just unmotivated) it's been more like 2 times a week. Lame.

Done venting now. Thanks :)
