(More Than) One Year Later

So it’s been a year since my last update and I’m sorry for anyone who still reads that I never wrote another update. It kinda got more and more overwhelming as time went on and then it grew into this massive update that I never wrote and it became so daunting that I knew if I didn’t write an update at one year I might never get out of that loop. I still remembered that I wrote my last post about my parents visiting for Labor Day, so this year for Labor Day I’m going to hammer out all the big life updates in the last year (wow!). At least, that’s what I told myself and I didn’t but at least I’m still trying. Who knows when this will actually get published! The problem is the longer I put it off, the longer the update naturally becomes.

Staycation

My parents came to visit over Labor Day weekend! The original plan was to have it off because it was the weekend I was originally going to be moving home, but since I extended it turned into a nice staycation with the parents visiting. It was their first time really visiting the area (driving up for less than a day to move me in doesn’t count) so I was excited to show them around (and also visit some places I hadn’t been yet). They came in late on Thursday while I was at work, so it was wonderful getting off work to find them at home.

Summer’s end

Wow, just like that August is over!! The weather is cooling down ever so slightly and I’m actually already done with my first contract term, wow! I can’t believe it. It really feels like I haven’t been here that long (which I guess I haven’t). Looking forward to the next three months and getting a glimpse of what might lie beyond.
