Wow, it's been awhile. A lot of things have been going on. I am almost done with my photography certificate and am moving to Florida with my boyfriend come August, but we are moving out of our apartment next month to go stay with my parents for a couple months before we go.
Lots of stuff planned for July! We're going to be camping a lot, going to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo (and also the Jacksonville Zoo once we get to Florida), some pictures for family members before I leave and my cousins wedding. This will be the most exciting summer I've had in years but unfortunately will also probably be my last. My mom doesn't want me to work for those two months so I can have the weekends off.
There is a college in Florida that has a zoo technology program but I'd have to wait until I can get in state tuition. Animals are my passion. Maybe I'll go on to be an animal photographer 😛 I want to volunteer at a shelter taking professional photos of the pets for adoption because its been proven that it helps adopt them out, but the local shelter already has a photographer.
Not to mention my dog, fish, and pet rats are going with to Florida. My dog is just like me - LOVES summer and HATES the cold! I'm so excited because I think he is really going to like it there. And if for some reason I don't like it or something happens with my boyfriend, I can always come back to Nebraska.
My quit got so much easier when I separated myself from the town I associated with smoking and the friends I had who were smokers. It's sad to see them go but I regret nothing about quitting. It's nowhere but up from here! It's still hard for me to believe I smoked my very last cigarette a little over 10 months ago. I had thought at one time that it was impossible. I was very wrong!
Have a great smoke free day!
