These past couple of weeks have been a complete whirlwind but in a good way... I think... My nephew, Austin, moved here and is living with my parents. He is one of the identical twins. They have had what you could call a bit of a rough life. But.. they were famous for a bit when they appeared on Dr. Phil 3 years ago!! HA! Anyhoo.. he is really trying his best to be responsible and all that good stuff. We got him enrolled in college here in Brighton and he starts next week. He is actually very excited for his new start. And it's a genuine excitement! YAY! By the way, he just turned 18. Ryan and I took him to his orientation last night but he was a little freaked out by it all. He wasn't too impressed with the "get-to-know-everyone-and their-dog" game they did to kick it off. He's just a shy guy so it's not his thing. I, on the other hand, had pretty much all the questions filled out by the time the game was over. I don't get much socialization these days I guess! I'm taking him tomorrow to get his license. Yes.. you read that right. He just turned 18 but doesn't have his license yet. No one to take him I guess. We (us and my parents) got him a car the other day. He's working it off with chores. It was only $200 so he won't have far to go. It needs about $500 to get it good and safe though. It's a 1988 Honda Accord and it does run!! I wish I only had a $200 car. I am SO sick of car payments! So... YAY for Austin!!!
On top of that, I enrolled in this fitness challenge through our rec center. That is the only gym we have here in little 'ol Brighton. So far it's going so good. I am painfully sore but I know it's a good kind of sore. It is for 8 weeks and we meet with a personal trainer 3 times a week. She also goes over tons of nutritional information which I need desperately. We have a team and there are 6 of us on a team. I never knew just how helpful a team would be. I actually think it could be key!
So.. I know it's only 8pm but I really am going to go to bed. I know I've left out so much but life is crazy these days!!
