More 101 things and a new roommate

Yikes. Looks like it's been a while since I blogged. I had all these grand plans of all that I was going to talk about and include pictures, but that feels like too much effort and I'm getting further and further behind. So... Here's the quick update of what's happened in the last two and a half months.

I crossed a few things from my 101 list (11 down now!)...
Go to a dueling piano bar
Bear testimony in sacrament meeting
Visit the Idaho Botanical Garden
Tour the Old State Penitentiary
Buy an annual pass for something (bought it to the Idaho Botanical Gardens... it's great)
Write in journal every day for a month

I got a new roommate, Meagan. I wasn't really looking for a roommate, but Meagan was in my ward and mentioned that her roommate was getting married and that she needed at least a temporary place to live as she worked to find a more permanent place. I was a bit hesitant, as I was liking having my own place. But I felt like it could be a good change, as I had been isolating a bit too much. And Meagan living with me has even better than I could have hoped for. It's been really great for both of us. I'm very grateful to her, we've clicked surprisingly well, and we are becoming good friends. It's going to be weird to have her leave me for a bit over a month for a trip she already had planned before she moved in! (Though I think I've convinced her to stay a bit more permanently. She thinks I'm a much better roommate than my last roommate did. Haha.)

Work's been crazy, but good. Some days are really hard, but good things are happening anyways, and I feel like I'm learning and growing a lot. Plus, I'm an LCSW in Idaho now, too!

I'm not being as successful at being healthy (exercising and eating right) as I should be. It's been hard when I still haven't been sleeping super great and I do seem to get headaches more often than I'd like. Though the massages I've gotten from Meagan have helped. (Benefits of having a massage therapist for a roommate!)

So... yeah. There's your super quick update. Hope all is going well with all of you that might occasionally read my blog!
