Although I have been better at writing entries more often, it has been a busy couple of weeks. I have gone to a concert, been assigned to a big project at work, went up to Madison, and ran a 10 mile race. It's been a great end of July. Days can sometimes bring me down, but overall, I have a lot of hang my hat on. Work is going very well. I'm feeling more comfortable each day. I feel I do a good job at what I'm assigned to do and I try to go out of my way to do better. I like what I do and really there is nothing more important that that. I also have had the opportunity to see some of my best friends. Although I do not get to see them all, the past weekend may have been one of the best weekends that I can remember. I had a fun Friday night at the Olive Garden with Mike and Erin, ran a race (73:30 for 10 miles), got dizzy at a carnival, and hit the town of Madison for the first time. There are a lot of new experiences and feelings involved in the past few weeks, but I like that. I need that opportunity to explore and luckily I have friends who are willing to slowly take me into these experiences that I would more likely than not never do on my own. I hope it all continues.
