Travels

This isn't a real post, I was just thinking this week about how many great places I've been lucky enough to see in the past twelve months. Last August I went to San Francisco with my roommate for the best mini-vacation I've ever had. She grew up there, so we stayed at her house and she knew all the must see attractions, and didn't mind taking me to all the tourist-y locations.

Then that October I went to St. Louis for a weekend to visit my brother. It was a great trip, unfortunately I was going through some rough stuff in my life, and acted pretty badly. I was just too anxious to go out, and I was in a bad mood. I did have a great time seeing him, and got to go to the botanical gardens and zoo, which are the best of each that I've ever seen.

January I flew to New Hampshire to meet my boyfriend's family. I had a great time, even though it was cold. I was visiting graduate schools at the time, so I go to spend a fair amount of time in Mass and Conn. I really enjoyed myself, even though it was freezing.

My other trips this year have been pretty well documented- New Hampshire this July and Arizona in August. I'm glad I signed up for a rewards program, I just wish I had done so sooner. I mean, there's 9 one-way flights in the last 12 months.

Anyways, going to look at the trailer tonight, fingers crossed that it will work out. I am ready to drop the money if it means having the tool. Lol, would you believe that all of the debt in my life comes from buying things for my horse (truck, trailer, etc), versus my private university education? Lol, and that a huge chunk of my grad school stipend is going to horse board. It's totally worth it, but it boggles the mind when you think of what all of this costs when added up.

Hopefully I'll have a good update tonight, we'll just have to see. I'm enjoying being lazy and chilling at home. Started cleaning out my old bedroom, but unfortunately I'm just too attached to everything. Oh well, a little at a time. Anyways, off to shower and drive an hour and a half to go look at a horse trailer. Wish me luck!
