Life Plans.

I've recently realized that making plans is silly. Nothing ever turns out how you'd like it to. I'm not saying that this new plan is necessarily a bad one, just that it's thrown me a curve ball. So now, instead of me moving to Wasilla this fall and going to school in person it looks like I'll be staying in Talkeetna playing grown up.
Instead of my mom simply waiting a year to move so that the house sells, she is determined to leave. Because the house needs a lot of work done to it there needs to be someone living there. I'm also my moms power of attorney so I'm supposed to be overseeing their work at the house. Needless to say I'm not too pleased to be living in Talkeetna alone but I think that it might be good for me. I've never been close to being alone in my entire life. Even when my mom would go on vacation I'd have people over every day so that I wasn't alone.
Anyways, my plan for this winter is as follows...
Take 5 classes online, coach xcountry and hopefully volleyball, try and find a job, and keep myself entertained in the mean while. I'll have my cat with me, so that's someone to keep me company. The only problem is that during the winter especially I can go into a downward spiral of depression. I'm considering a dog, no joke. The only thing is that my cat may not like that choice and she'll be 17 this fall and I don't want a dog to give her a little cat heart attack. Damon should be home for at least 3 or 4 nights a week so that'll be nice. Also, Brenna, Cooper, Noelle, and Jenny will be here this winter. I feel like this might be a good thing for me, but honestly I'm just scared shitless. It's going to be a huge adjustment with mom no longer being a drive away, and then with Damon gone half of the week I'm not sure how this will work out.
I'm also worried that Damon and I may grow apart if he's in Wasilla for the fall, then Anchorage in the spring. Blargh, this whole thing is rather frustrating. I'm not very good with extreme change!! I love him with all of my heart and I know he loves me back so maybe this'll be good? I've heard that distance makes the heart grow fonder, but it's already plenty fond right meow.
Hmmmmmm lots to think about.

On a different note I've been running and doing MMA so I've been kicking my butt into shape! Soon I'll get my tires inflated again and do some biking!

Summer Goal.

A new goal of mine is to be able to do the splits. I want to get more flexible in general and I figured if I set a goal for myself with a certain stretch I should be able to do it! Along with stretching everyday for 20-30 minutes I also want to add an ab workout. I believe that you can tell if someone is in shape by simply looking at their core muscles. Right now, I'm lacking in those muscles and what to do something about it. It's been a real bummer with my stupid ankle lately but I've still managed to get my butt off the couch and do some abs and today I'll be adding stretches!

Size 6.

As the snow starts to melt, and elementary students ride their bikes around east Talkeetna attempting wheelies I pulled up a pair of my size 6's. WOOHOOO! I know that numbers don't matter, but it's nice to drop a pant size. My new problem is, size 8 jeans don't fit me anymore! I recently purchased another pair of 6's but alas, they were the same exact pair as my other jeans! OOPS! Another thing, this summer I want to wear more dresses! Maybe I can also buy a pair of wedges to complete the transformation into old Caitlin's body. One thing that I love about being older and my body changing is that I've learned to love myself. My thighs are a little big, but so what! They are strong and can kick your ass if need be. I have no boobs, but I can wear one sports bra and not worry about jiggling while working out. So bring it on world!
I love the feeling I get when Alaska excepts that it's spring and decides to go with the flow. It's so beautiful.

Bad Ass

Not going to lie... these woman are serious athletic beasts! If I could do this I totally would, so amazing!

Crossfit Girls...

When I think of hot girls, this is what a think of...

Arizona

Ok, so I'm super burnt. My aunt gave me this spray on sun screen and I thought I had covered myself pretty good... unfortunately I didn't. I now have the worst sun burnt lines EVER! Luckily, I'm going back to cold Alaska and no one will see my lines besides Damon. But still, my stomach is in SO much pain. I'm a big tummy sleeper and I couldn't even do that :(
Anyways, it's been in the 80's every day since I've been here and it's supposed to stay the same until I leave! Today we are going to Sedona for some sight seeing and some shopping! Tomorrow, Damon and I have a pool date. Tuesday is more shopping and the zoo! Wednesday I'm going with my cousin to get my hair done, Thursday I think Damon and I are meeting up with Jeff Miner (a friend) to hit up Phoenix. Then Friday is our last day, and I think my cousins birthday. I love it here, aside from the strange looks from my burn. If I forgot to mention, I fell asleep outside the first day so I have a burn on one side of my face/neck. I'm on the constant lookout for snakes and scorpions, which I don't think I could do everyday! I really like it here, but I don't think I would want to live here. Too many extreme republicans!!! But on the other side, everyone does have their own pool. Here in Anthem they have a community center that has... a workout center, gym, pool, waterpark, tennis courts, volleyball courts, soccer field, lake (for catch and release fishing), and a little kiddie train. It's pretty bad ass here, when they built everything they made it so if you didn't want to you'd never have to leave the "town".

Blargh.

I really have nothing to say.
I'm going to Arizona on the 11th to visit my Auntie and Uncle :)
