I can't believe that it's already the middle of May. A year ago, I was preparing to move back to Georgia and desperately seeking a job.
I've taken a sudden interest in gardening. I like the smell of dirt and flowers and enjoy daydreaming about my future garden (whenever I move away). For now, I'm slowly edging myself into the gardening water, so to speak, by helping my parents out with menial tasks in their new yard. While I'm weeding, avoiding bees, and dead heading plants, I can watch them do the actual landscaping. It's good to watch before I actually attempt to do something myself (maybe in a few weeks), considering that it amazes me how I've kept an indoor plant alive for 3 years. I feel like I'm going to have even more trouble keeping outdoor plants and flowers alive.
I feel like I am truly becoming an adult with these new hobbies of mine. Long gone are the color guard days of yore. I'm really really wanting to learn archery for some reason (and maybe even some hand gun action). Not that I'll be hunting, seeking out any urgals, joining a role playing game, or joining the NRA any time soon, but I think it would be fun to learn how to shoot, especially an arrow (yes, I've been made fun of for this already, so no need to drag it on). Maybe I've been reading too many fantasy novels lately.
After sitting through two weekend graduations (punishment for not going to my own last year), we're now on summer schedule at work. I'm looking forward to shorter weeks (when I'm not working in weekends to build time) and more time to write policy and such.
Jon visited this past weekend for the first time since Christmas. It was only for maybe 36 hours at the most, but we somehow managed to squeeze in a LOT of family time. The mothers had good Mother's Days and my brother and his brother seemed to get along really well. Now both families are acquainted and I feel like I will be a little more comfortable come his family reunion in August. I can't wait for our trip to the Southwest, which is officially two weeks away from now!
Nothing else to update...
