Yay!
An update!
So, the last time I posted was when I got my new job :)
Which was also almost 2 months ago haha.
Since then, not to much has happened aside from an impromptu trip to Colorado!
Ethan and I each had an extended weekend so we figured we should go somewhere.
What better place is there to visit than Colorado!?
While we were there we saw both of our families and 2 of my best friends.
It was pretty laid back and low key, but the shopping was phenomenal.
If you lived in Great Falls, you would understand.
We got to eat at all of our favorite restaurants, and I managed to squeak in a tea at my most favorite place every single day.
I think, aside from ourselves, Reagan had the time of his life.
He got to spend an entire weekend with his best friend, Mater!!!
The downside to this trip was returning to Great Falls.
After being around such good friends and family, it honestly puts me in a depressive state for a couple of days.
Being there reminds me what it is like to have really good friends.
Which I have yet to find here in Montana.
Don't get me wrong. I have a few "acquaintances".
But I haven't met someone I could call while Ethan is on alert and just hang out with.
Which is all I really look for in a friend.
I've never been one that needed to have friends.
I do very well being alone, and like to keep my personal life pretty private.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that I don't enjoy some good company.
I am sure with time something will roll along.
I just miss the heck out of all of my Colorado friends.
:(
Enough with the pity party.
Since it SNOWED here in this stupid state during Memorial Day weekend.
Ethan and I spent the majority of our weekend watching crazy TV food documentaries.
(I'm kind of fascinated with health)
Here are the three we watched:
Food INC., Forks over Knives, and Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.
I encourage everyone to watch these.
Not because I want to convince you to go organic or vegan.
But because it could open your eyes to choosing other options when it comes to nutrition.
All of them are available for free on Netflix.
For me, I've become more conscious of the process through which my food is treated.
Lately, I have been keeping everything I eat but my dinner 100% clean.
This meaning, I don't eat anything that has gone through processing.
I also have chosen to only eat meat with my dinners.
Call me crazy.
But don't call me crazy until you watch those documentaries!
My latest obsession has been juicing.
I don't think I could ever do a strictly juicing cleanse.
(This is the process used in Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead)
I enjoy the satisfaction of actually chewing and swallowing my food.
But I make a juice every morning and if I get the urge to eat something and have the time later in the day, I'll juice something then too.
My favorite so far is strictly red grapes and celery.
It's so sweet and satisfying!
A couple other favorites are a carrot, apple, ginger, and this juice:
A Kale Lemonade.
It's been a bit of a challenge working at Crooked Tree :)
Haha smelling the muffins, cupcakes, and biscotti coming out of the oven.
But I just bring a juice to work and so far, so good.
I'm seeing some pretty decent results in not only my figure, but mainly in my energy.
I haven't really come home and gone straight for a nap in quite some time.
Pretty good for a 3 AM wake-up call 4 times a week!!!
Well that's about it for now.
We have 3 months left until our cruise now!
Which means we are only 2 months away from our 1st accomplished year of marriage!
How Exciting!
You know, if you go back in my posts from when I had been here as long as you, they sound almost exactly like this. I just started working at the bakery and was still frustrated with the "friend hunt." I never "needed" friends, either, but I completely understand what you mean. It's definitely hard to find the kind of people you can veg out on the couch in your PJs with while the hubby is away!
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie!
DeleteThat gives me some comfort. I never expected to have a hard time adjusting to a new place...it's been a long 5 months! I just need to work on staying positive.
