how lame is my blog?

dear those of you who still actually read this,

i'm sorry that i've failed at blogging as of late.
life is just a little bit crazy.
you know how it is trying to get back in the swing of things after an awesome christmas break [that i still have a bazillion of pictures from hawaii to upload.]
school is awesome. i absolutely love my major.
sometimes i'm on campus all day. [every day.]
i cried when i realized i wouldn't see derek very much.
[yes, i realize how ridiculous that sounds. i was a little emotionally unstable. but yes, it's still sad.]
my brother leaves in a week. basically. not sure how to feel...
and my family decided to redo our entire main floor prior to his leaving.
this means i've been painting baseboards and cupboards, and spending a lot of time at home depot. and taking family pictures for the wall. it's been awesome.
[deciding to do the kitchen too a week before an open house is not always the best idea. just fyi. but we thrive on the pressure. ha.]
i'm also making major life decisions. like what to do after graduation. internship? student teach? try to find another job? [am i really this old?]
life is just a crazy thing. and i'm learning a lot every day.
i think i'm finally trying to just take it all in.
and i'm happy.
i'll do my best to keep you updated.
good things are ahead.

thank you for still reading,
ashley
