High Five for Friday

Let's back up a little bit since I haven't been keeping up so well with the High Five...

1. Last week Jesse was in Pittsburgh for a work conference, which left me home alone, which I don't like hate. I always think the worst things are going to happen while he's gone - robbery, car trouble, who knows. But, of course, I lived through it and the worst thing that happened was that I had to kill a roach.  To be frank, I was in the bathroom, it was on the toilet paper roll. Needless to say it gave me quite the scare!

2. I received my first equipment batch that we ordered for school! It was quite exciting, and since Jesse wasn't home Maggie quickly became my first "patient."  (She cooperated better than expected!) I don't know what to do with much of it right now, but our courses next semester will have us using all of it, and I can't wait!

3.  This week, I spent some time baking and made chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting for Community Group. They were quite tasty (especially with a tall glass of milk) and I had fun playing with different ways to frost them.

4. Most of you know I was never the sporty child, I don't really like to sweat, and if you leave me long enough outside in the heat I will probably get cranky.  But, I know I need to get out and exercise to maintain good heath, increase energy, and de-stress. Plus my life is quite sedentary - sit in class, sit and study, repeat. Thankfully my friend Ronda is prepping for a 5K, which motivated me and Kelsey to join her yesterday at the park. We decided accountability is key, so hopefully we can keep each other off the couch. :)  Plus we get some girl time in together!

5. The most exciting news happened yesterday!!!  We booked tickets to go to NYC!  AAAAaaahhhh! (I'm SO excited!) Matt and Heidi were planning to go and invited us along. We played around with the idea for a while, and when plane ticket prices dropped some yesterday it was time to act, so we decided we were in and hit submit! I cannot wait to explore New York together!
