Lug Wrench

This semester (so far) has turned out to be really manageable! If you knew me last fall you can understand maybe why I was so concerned this year. I feel like I've found just the right balance of work (no mare than 24hrs a week) church (I asked to be released from my stake calling, so now I just have my ward calling) and School (I'm skimming my research articles instead of trying to consume them) and so far I'm feeling pretty well balanced.

The only thing out of control is my exercising. It basically doesn't exist and because of that I've put on weight, and although I can hold my own, it's starting to not bode well for my self-esteem. Today in class someone was looking thru a photo album I brought in for a presentation, and I pointed out a pic from 2002 when I was pretty thin, and they said "Oh my gosh, it doesn't even look like you." They weren't trying to be rude, but it was a bit too truthful for me.

So exercise has got to happen, I just need some motivation!!!

On a separate note we had out housewarming party this weekend and it was phenomenal. About 60-70 people made their way through. We had food galore. My mom was super cool. She brought dip, lemon bars, and chocolate cookie bars. She was worried there wouldn't be enough food, but my friends totally came through.

I've got a short list of things to work on, with the truck. I need to change a flat, find a replacement brake line, and figure out if there's a drain on the battery. I might hit up the local U-Pull It junkyard on Saturday morning. Dad's been really helpful with the truck. He found me some parts for a crank handle, and I'm trying to find the right size lug wrench.

My bedroom has come together-sort of. I still have about 9 boxes in the garage that need to be integrated.

I would post a pic, but my room is almost identical to the last pic posted from out apartment. I might free hand some huge line-drawing esque peonies on the wall, but not for a bit.

Other than that not much going on. Hope everyone is doing well!
