Thoughts and Feelings?
I haven't updated anything since April.... it has been busy. At this moment, I am busy at work, busy with data analysis for my dissertation, busy trying to keep working out and busy trying to spend as much time as possible with my boys. No rest in sight though!
We are planning a family vacation in September... Ireland and Boston!
What I am looking forward to:
Doing a reiki class. Considering career options once this degree is done. Sorting out the dance class schedule for the fall.
