Is There REALLY Nothing Worth Posting About?

No, not really. Guess I'll just have to make small talk!
We haven't been doing ANYTHING exciting.

We got approved for our apartment.. YEA! We move in the 19th of August. We have about 10 days in both places to get everything moved over. Should be plenty of time. Like I said before, we love this house, and enjoy it, but its sooooo far from everything else. We will be moving right on the city line of Allen and Plano, but we will be on the Plano side. So I guess we are moving cities too. It is right across the street from the TI in Plano so Michael can either catch a TI shuttle to the Dart Station (train) or I can still take him but it will be about 10 minutes of a shorter drive. Which will be LOVELY! The TI across the street is also the TI that we work out at and I take Tai Chi at so that will be even nicer. We will be able to walk to the gym and back home again (The street we have to cross is not a big busy one). That will be very nice too.

We are getting ready to go on our cruise. We leave for Galveston a week from Friday. We are both really starting to get excited. I also have started a "Master Packing List" for us, because everytime we pack up, which is often if you count not only big trips, but the times we go to Austin, Lubbock and El Paso too, we go through a list outloud just trying to remember everything we need. We'll I got tired of that, thought we have a lot more traveling to do in our little lives so thought this would be a good idea. Then when we are packed, I can print out one of my lists, and we can check off all the things we have already packed... Ya, I guess I have too much time on my hands.. I call it "Organization"

What else what else... Ah, Tai Chi. I'm still doing classes. Its been 7 months now and I love it more and more everytime I do it. I have been in Private Lessons for about 3 months and enjoy those as well. I've already noticed changes in the short 7 months I have been doing it. The biggest one I think is it has brought awareness to my posture. I wouldn't say I had bad posture before, but if there are times that I am slouching or bend over, I can immediatly tell and I have to fix it because it just feels more comfortable. I could preach about Tai Chi for a while and how great I think it is, but I'll get off my soapbox and leave that for a later post.

Finally something cool happened yesterday. I got to talk to my nephew! (ok that sounds silly, but heres why its cool) He is only 3 years younger then me (I was an aunt when I was 3) and he lives in Isreal. We were in high school for a year together. I was a senior and he was a freshman and I loved being able to see him everyday. Anyways, he eventually moved to Isreal and has been there for... 4 years probably?? I hadn't talked to him in like 2 years, so it made my week to talk to him. He was visiting the family in El Paso and I made my brother call me when he saw him so I could chat. It was also nice to know he was in EP with everything going on over there right now.
Wow, so I guess there was stuff to post about, I just needed to talk it all out to find it. So I have slapped my hand and said, "BAD NICHOLE for not posting" and I promised to try to do better. :o)
