Catching up...again

I feel like most of the time when I post these days I'm catching up on the last few weeks. I need to get in more of a habit of writing!

Let's see. In the past month I:

• Threw my friend Sharon a baby shower, and then exactly 1 week later (almost to the hour!) she had baby Ryker Slade
  

• Turned 25 and proceeded to have a quarter-life existential crisis/meltdown for about a week. I'm still not sure I'm totally over it. 25? Really?

• Learned that some of the people in my company got laid off. Normally it wouldn't mean a whole lot, I work for a pretty big company, but these were people in my building and close to my team. They tell us our job is still safe, but I'm being very cautious.

• Went with some friends to Destin over Labor Day weekend and had a great time. I swear, that Goddaughter of mine, if her mom doesn't watch it I'm going to totally steal her one of these days.
  

• Realized that if I want to keep this "hobby" of photography, it's going to be an expensive one to support. We rented a lens for Destin and fell in love with it, so all it did was torture us to send it back!
  

• Picked up an informational packet for Graduate School, and looked up information (but haven't registered quite yet) about the pre-tests I'll have to take before I can apply.
  

• Finally got DSL at the apartment, so now I'm actually able to communicate with the outside world away from the computers and internet at work.

• Thought and prayed very hard (and very long) about quitting my current job and trying to get a job in the field I'm thinking about for Graduate School. Money is the only factor, and it's a big one

• Tomorrow my friend Suzie and I are going to Shreveport for a concert. We planned this months ago, and it kind of crept up on us this month.

That about sums up the last month or so. I stay pretty busy and while I do like having pajama days, I wouldn't have it any other way!
