Ugh...I'm tired today. I shall rest after I work, and get groceries...and maybe workout. I had trouble sleeping last night, but maybe tonight will be better.
My goals are going pretty well, just need to amp up the piano and voice practice. I'm really excited for the opera this fall!
I think I may also look for another job for during the school year. I really want to start saving up for a trip to Europe, whether its AIMS or another study abroad. Also, I want to start saving for graduate school, because I'm sure I will need to take out loans and whatnot as it is.
I'm trying to just take things one day at a time, and not worry about everything. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
I love my LULI!

New Goals for the summer
Besides the ever present goal of trying to eat healthier and exercise more I have some more I would like to add to help me establish good habits and a structure. We are creatures of habit, the problem is establishing them and sticking with them.
New Goal #1-for the next 6-8 weeks I will get up at 8 am during the work week and up by 10 on the weekends. Naps during the day may be necessary for the first week or two.
New Goal#2- practice piano for 45 minutes to an hour 3 times a week for the next 4 weeks and increase to 5 times a week after that.
New Goal#3-practice a minimum of 20 minutes of voice 3 times a week for the next 4 weeks and increase to 5 times a week after that.
New Goal#4- Go to bed (as in be IN bed ready to go to sleep or reading) by midnight every night. Eventually I would like to reduce this to 10 or 10:30pm.
I figure if I start small I can work my way up and I will feel like I have made real progress, instead of getting frustrated.
The 8 am goal started Monday, but the voice and piano can start either today or tomorrow. I need to schedule regular times too, so I get into a good habit.
Eventually I would like to be able to get up at like 6 or 7 in the mornings, exercise, and then go to classes. But this will take time. Plus, I need to go to bed earlier!

Adventure!
Bryce and I went on an adventure yesterday to the Dallas City Park, which is about 15 minutes away. It was a lot of fun and we took some great pictures!
Happy...
Hanging out on the shore because the rocks in the creek are very slippery!
The power of the rings unite! lol...
Very large outdoor fire place/chimney (the picture cut off the top part). There were several of these around the park. I wonder if people still use them. There were also smaller ones that looked more like brick ovens. I've never seen outdoor fireplaces or brick ovens at a park before...interesting. All I could think about was making s'mores in them!
Bryce is about to wade out into the creek...

Now we're off to Odell Lake for the 4th of July weekend!
