This summer has been full. It began with my trip to the plains to go storm chasing for two weeks where I finally saw my first tornado. One of the many things on my bucket list that have been accomplished.
Lessons learned include a whole lot about meteorology, using the bathroom in the wild, and that I will probably never eat Subway ever again. Two weeks exploring the country (a thing I never do) seeing places I have never seen crammed in a van with 12 other people but so rewarding!
This summer has been my first experience living alone. My solution: adopt a kitten. Don't let the looks fool you. A kitten is really more like a two year old. They are into everything and wild as a bat out of hell. Good thing he is so cute. I have had him for a little over a month now. One of my favorite memories has to be a night when he sprung into an attack position when someone came in the front door. I am thinking a "Beware of Cat" sign is in order.
This summer I have started my first meteorology related job as a operator at the Kentucky Mesonet. I absolutely love my job. It is such a relief to be doing something that is worth my while and no where near retail. Working as the Mesonet has kept me living in Bowling Green for the summer. In order to pass the time, I created a list of projects thinking I probably wouldn't get to them but it would be nice to stay busy. I am proud to report I have actually crossed some things off the list!
Sunday, I had my engagement pictures done! I had two of my really good friends do them and that made it so much fun! As is only fitting, it was a stormy blustery day but it made for some wonderful pictures. The storms were well welcomed after sweating buckets for the first hour or so. I am less than a year away from getting married and it is beginning to become real! My mom and I have beens slowly but surely crossing things off the to-do list and buying decorations. Sometimes, I just have to stop and think about how silly the whole ordeal is. All the decorations and planning that really mean nothing up next to the real deal which is that I am committing myself to one wonderful man for the rest of my life. If there is anything I have learned from that experience it's that Alex and I are not cut out to be super models. We still had a blast trying!
