Anxiety of flying

Am I one of the only people who has anxiety when flying... probably not but why is it so hard to get over this fear? Is it the lack of control... probably...

I'm leaving to VA in less than a week and a half and all I can think about is my fear of flying... it sucks.. because this work trip is going to be awesome and alot of fun... I even went as far as to buy a book called the Fearless Flier's Handbook.. I hope it helps.. I even went on a website called Captain Lim. It's a retired captain who helps answer peoples questions (especially those afraid of flying)...

Well I'll be counting down the days and hopefully receiving my book soon so that I can start reading it and making progress towards curing my fear (:

Two Weeks!

So I officially made the two week mark at my job (: and I still absolutely love it. Hopefully this feeling will stay this way for awhile. So tomorrow is my first day off and I am so excited.. I can actually stay up past 10! We'll probably rent a movie or something...Last night was fun. We had our FOCCUS meeting (last one!) and it went pretty well. Its cool to see where your differences and similarities are. It took us a while to get through them but w/e it was good! Good to know. ... Other then that I haven't been doing too much trying to work out... I did the 5K this past weekend and got about a 27:23... want to try to break 27 soon...

Week 1 Work Update

SO I finished my first week of work and I absolutely love my job.. I can't believe it... It is a weird concept to me. I love my team and some of the projects that I am going to be working on with the Coast Guard. I really hope that I can do big things at this place. Although I am an intern, I feel the need to contribute which is good and bad. Bad because the expect us to pretty much absorb everything we can. Not only is my team great, but my boss is too! He reminds me of Christopher Walken... yes Christopher Walken. He has been doing an awesome job helping me feel like I belong and showing me the ropes.. We'll see how the next week goes :) Also... I forgot to mention I am going on a work vacation the first week of July to VA. Crazy, huh? Now... if only I could get over this flying phobia problem I have lol... 

On the brighter side SP and I ran a 5 K today...I did mine in like 27 something... meh... I wish it was 26 something lol lame... Well shows I need to improve a little. Nikki is coming today and I am super excited!!!!! We'll see what the weekend brings :)

The Last Day of Freedom for a while...

So this whole week has been pretty fun and extremely productive... I took a week off before I start my real adult job because I figured I needed the mental break to switch gears. Greg had left to Miami until Wednesday and so I though I could get a bunch of stuff done around the house (since we pretty much never stay here). 

Monday I painted one room by myself... yes and it is extremely difficult more than you think... I also got errands done that I needed to do and made a request to withdraw my FICA money from UCF its not that much but it could definitely help pay for some wedding stuff. I was very proud of myself but slightly annoyed that I had to send the fax twice especially when I had to pay for the same fax twice...

Tuesday I went shopping with Becca and bought some more work stuff....(I swear I'm slowly spending my first unearned paycheck already) In all fairness I needed closed toes pumps which I got three pairs!!!! lol ..All on sale I might add...After that I lazed around the house

Wednesday Cleaned the house and hung out while Greg came home... went to FOCCUS that night which was actually really cool.. we go again in two weeks to see how compatible we are hahahaha after that we went to go get free floats at Sonics... it was insane ..enough said

Thursday... it was our POTLUCK we made pork loin, funfetti and mini hotdogs.. so many people came and brought food too. It was cool but it was all people who knew each other so there would be no awkwardness .... we had fun... annnddd the LA Lakers won.. I know I live in Orlando but I'm from Miami and love the Heat therefore I have no alliance to Orlando.. also the "candy man" from the Lakers is my soulmate....because he can digest so much candy

Friday... pretty much feel sooo tired but I tried to take the dogs to the dog park because they allow dogs to be unleashed right now...... Other then that just stalking people on facebook and the knot...

Wedding Updates and Pics!

Well my last blog was pretty much an apology and an update on my life in general... Now its time for wedding updates (:

I've got my first venue payment this weekend yikes...... lol

Things I still need to do:

Boys tuxes... gotta push greg a little

Register at one more place

Cake!!!

Limos...

I still need to do a couple of DIY stuff and a couple of other things here and there......

Also.. I think I'm being a fun bride or at least I hope to think so (: 

Lots of Updates and Apologies

SO I am completely aware that I fail as a blogger by not updating regularly... The knot even warns girls about being boring bloggers lol.. Well I shall update everyone on my past few months...

I have quit the UCF Office of Research and have been working the past weeks or so training one of the girls to replace me. I know she is going to do awesome and hope she gets some sort of raise out of it! I felt sad leaving the office but I knew I had to in order to survive as a full fledge adult. They wouldn't be giving me the pay or benefits I will be receiving.... so that made my decision extremely easy...They had a farewell party for me which was really cute with some desserts a really cute slideshow and pins that said "We are going to miss this face around the place". I cried and thanked everyone for everything (: I'll still be going there once a week for bootcamp since its a workout for me too.

I also finally graduated and got my diploma in the mail. I've debated whether or not to bring it over to my new office but I'm not sure yet....

I start my new job in about 4 days.. I am super excited and nervous at the same time. I have really no idea what I will be doing. On the plus side my best friend starts the same day I do and so at least I'll have someone I know there.... which could be a good and bad thing lol... Nav Ar has been so wonderful to me how can I not be excited....

This week I had off and I've been so incredibly productive! I painted a room by myself worked on the yard and the house.. only less than 2 months until Greg moves in and we get settled... finally after 6 years lololol....

Thats about it for now! I'll post a little more about my wedding updates in a bit and some pictures! Gotta run to meet a friend for lunch ......
