I am still alive....

Hey y'all I am still here.  Since my last post things have been slightly hectic.  Let me see if I can accurately recap what has been going on.

1.  My first 8 week session of this semester ended on 3/7/14 and it could not have come at a better time.  I was at the end of my rope.  If you follow me on instagram (@assignmentamanda) then you saw that I made A's in BOTH of those classes. Holla!  This is rare for me.  I just started my second 8 weeks and I think it is going to be much easier.

2.  I turned 29 and had a really nice low-key birthday.  I will be sharing the gifts I got along with an Etsy gift card giveaway on Friday so be sure to check back.

3.  I took my first plane ride to the beautiful city of Miami.  About a month ago I wrote about my anxiety about flying and not being able to fit into the plane seat.  (Read that HERE). I am more than happy to report that I actually like flying and I had absolutely no problems sitting in the seat.  My views from the hotel were absolutely beautiful and the weather was gorgeous.  I went for business but will definitely visit again for funzies.

Excuse the no make-up face but I had to take a selfie to document my first plane ride

Right outside of my hotel.  
4.  I threw Brent a 30th birthday party.  He is simple so we just had a small gathering of friends and family at the house.  A good time was had by all.  His response was "I didn't even know that I wanted something like this and I am glad I got it."  I guess I did good.  Honey, if you are reading this just know I am still expecting my 80's themed bash next year!
My whole heart


5.  I had another meeting with my personal trainer and it was awesome.  I walked out of there feeling like a BAMF.  I have one more session with her this Friday and I will be on my own.  I would love to continue with her but at $70 a session it's not gonna happen.  She understands this and has given me some foundation that I can build on.

6.  My C25K training has been slacking.  However, yesterday I got back at it and jogged for 3 minutes straight TWICE.  It was ugly but I am counting it as a win.  I have exactly one month until my Color Run so I need to start being a little more serious about getting my runs in.

What have you been up to lately?

Until next time,
Amanda
