I'm Still Here!

It feels like I've vanished off the face of the earth... speaking from a blogging standpoint anyways.  We successfully moved out of our house at the beginnning of last week, and I havent had any access to internet until now. 

I don't have anything super exciting to blog about.  I've spent a lot of time with my family these past few weeks, we've had a wedding, and a graduation all within 4 days of eachother; plus getting settled into the new house, we've been pretty busy.

I've started to get back on track with my training, trying to squeeze it in every second that I get (in between dinner and the speeches at the wedding, in the back of the auditorium when grads were getting their diplomas are a few examples) and I'm starting to realize how close we are to the end of this year's I Ho Chaun.  There's a lot of stuff that I still need to get done, so it's turning into 'crunch time.'  And I'm loving every minute of it.

Let's Be Honest

I'm going to be 100% honest, I'm about 1 - 2 weeks behind on all my requirements right now. I'd like to have some awesome reason about why that is, but I'm going to be honest and say that I've been completely lacking the motivation to do anything. I've been so overwhelmed with final exams, moving, and trying to focus on improving how I approach my role in the kids classes at the studio that I've had no motivation to get up and focus on myself. I started to doubt myself and I even caught myself thinking that I wanted to quit. 

Today was the last day of school and I have almost a week to prepare for my finals. I was in the middle of packing up my room when I got up, laced up my running shoes and went for a run. It completely cleared my head, and I was able to remind myself what I was doing, and why I was doing it. I felt all of the feelings that I felt on the first day that The UBBT started, and I felt all of the negative thoughts flow out of me. I think that it was the exact reset that I've been searching for for awhile. 

wow.

Last week was absolutely insane. My dad was in meetings in Calgary all week, so it was just me, my brother, and my mom. And of course... Something was bound to go wrong. 

On Monday night, my mom called me downstairs in hysterics because my brother had called her from the skate park saying that he had fallen. When we got there, we realized he had fallen flat on his face, and even worse, he hadn't been wearing a helmet. 

He ended up with cut up lips, a Hirt leg, and Two of his teeth got pushed up into his jaw bone. But I keep counting my blessings that that's all that happened to him. 

It's amazing how fast one stupid decision can impact you and everyone else around you. You don't even think twice about jumping into the car without a seatbelt, or not throwing on your helmet because you're going for a ride to the mailbox; but there are a reason that we do these things. They're all here to just keep us safe. 

On the other hand, schools getting really busy and we're getting ready to move in three weeks. 

Woah.
