There was this lake in the middle of all the mountains, miles away from any road...very peaceful
It was a lot harder than I expected

Hiking Pics
The weekend before Adam and I went to Vegas we went hiking with Fink and Sarah at the Delaware Water Gap about 50 miles West of us. It was exhausting, but the view made it worthwhile. I finally got around to uploading some of the pics so I figured I'd post some of these as well.

Where does the time go?
So the last time I posted it was a March re-cap and since it's almost the end of April I feel a "April re-cap" is due, except I don't have much to write about and I certainly don't have the energy to type a long post.
I'm relaxing on the couch tonight wishing that tomorrow wasn't Monday. Work has been very chaotic lately and this past week was more than exhausting. I worry about things at work and get really stressed out, which actually seems to have a negative effect on my productivity. I think if I stopped freaking out so often and didn't try to do a hundred things at once it might be a little less stressful.
I don't have much time for anything other than work lately, but I have been trying to eat better and get to the gym on a regular basis. I have hit an all-time low in self esteem and feel disgusted everytime I stand in front of the mirror. I went 3 times last week which is a HUGE improvment over my previous schedule of....ummm... never. I need to make en effort to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and less garbage. There's less than a month to memorial day weekend and I'm really trying to be less flabby in my bikini this summer. I know 1 month isn't much time so I'm going to set a goal of losing 15 lbs by my Birthday in October.
This upcoming weekend I'm headed back to MI. I haven't been home since the first week in February and I think this is the longest I've gone without seeing my family. My mom has been a little depressed lately so I'm hoping I can cheer her up. Although she doesn't always appreciate my crude sense of humor, I have faith that I'll bring a smile to her face more than once this weekend. I'm also looking forward to catching up with some old friends from home that I haven't seen in awhile.
That's about it for now. Goodnight.

March recap
It's definately been awhile since my last post. I didn't intend to procrastinate for so long and looking back I don't really have a good reason as to why I have been MIA for several weeks.
Work has been a little less chaotic. I made two trips to Columbus, Ohio in March and will be going back again next week. I actually enjoy the bi-weekly trip and it helps break up the work week. I am lucky enough to travel with my co-worker Mason who is also a good friend so it definately helps in getting work done and having someone to travel with. Besides traveling work has been a little more fulfulling and I've been getting positive feedback from my boss which really helps. I don't mind coming in on Saturdays or staying late as long as I know it doesn't go unrecognized.
St. Patricks Day came and went and for a Holiday that I've never really celebrated I definately did my fair share of "celebrating" this year. Kendra took the train to our apartment Friday night in the middle of the biggest snow storm we've had all winter. We woke up early Saturday morning for some pre-drinking at our apartment before heading into NYC for the day. We were able to take mass transit all day (a perk of living in an insanely conjested area) so there was no need for anyone to stay sober. We spent most of the evening at Kevin St. James (a bar near Hell's Kitchen) drinking and meeting some interesting characters (i.e. some scottish men who wore kilts and felt it was necessary to flash Kendra and I their "packages" after I asked them if it was true that Scottish men wore nothing under their kilts...guess I got my answer). After drinking for over 12 hours straight we decided to head home. On our way to Penn Station we stopped at a new favorite of mine, Burritoville for some much needed food. Kendra discovered Burritoville in January when her brother visited and it blows Chipotle out of the water. The prices are reasonable, the portions are huge, the menu is endless and the unlimited chips and salsa always hit the stop (even more so when you're drunk). After a long day we were home and in bed by 1:00am and didn't have a problem falling asleep.
The weekend following St. Patricks Day we went into NYC on Friday night to celebrate Jim's 30th Birthday. Dinner was at a small, fun restaurant called Manga y Bevi. The food was good and although the restaurant was crowded the atmosphere was fun. After dinner we went to Kevin St. James for some drinks before heading back home. It's always hard for me to go out on a Friday night because I usually get so tired around 10:00 and when I drink it makes me even more tired. So needless to say Friday wasn't a super late night.
Saturday night was spent in Hoboken with Jodi. We ended up at a bar I had never been to called Trinity and again drank more than I should. I had to babysitt Sunday morning so after crashing at her apartment I made sure to leave myself enough time to get home and relieve some of my hangover.
Other than that not too much else has been happening here. We've been having some warm weather and I am looking forward to Vegas and Summer!!!
