Yikes!!!! I can't believe I've been away from writing for more than a month... and it's a new year! For those of you still reading, thank you and I am sorry! I will be better! I'm determined to stay up on writing this new year. I/we have so much to be grateful for, and hopefully exciting things to share.
December was crazy. The last time I wrote I was in Denver. I am home. I passed all of my Pure Barre training/certification, which was a bit nerve wrecking and overwhelming. It's still a bit overwhelming right now, which is why I have been so distracted. Teaching has been a lot harder than I imagined. I feel like I am improving with each class and getting more and more comfortable, but at the same time the clients are use to instructors who have been teaching for six months or a year and I am just not at that level right now. The other instructors have been great and supportive, but it is still a lot of pressure. Don't get me wrong, some of the clients have been great too and provided me with positive feedback, but I still have things to work on and need to find my rhythm. Most importantly, I need to up the energy in my classes. The owner is reviewing my class tomorrow so hopefully she will see some improvement in my teaching since my first couple classes (which she took).
Drew is still working for Amazon. Things have calmed down a lot for him and his schedule is finally back to normal. No more crazy holiday hours. Although, now that the holidays have come and gone, so have a lot of the workers, which means there are a lot less people working each shift. In some ways that is nice, but from what Drew has said, there is still a lot of work to get done and people aren't working as quickly as necessary.
Speaking of the holidays, we had a fantastic Christmas and low key new year. Christmas was all about family which we wouldn't have any other way. New year's eve... well... let's just say Drew was asleep by 9pm and with just Lexi keeping me awake, I too missed the ball drop. I did wake to fireworks in the neighborhood, but was back to sleep a few minutes later - talk about feeling old. Oh well. We had a productive new years day compared to others who were up later. One of these years (it's been awhile) we will have a more exciting night.
As for the house, today was the first time I've tackled anything DIYish since recovering the dining room chairs for Thanksgiving. I decided to paint the master bathroom. I took some before pictures which I will try to post tomorrow or Thursday along with after pictures. I need more natural light for the after pictures. The ones I tried to take this evening looked horrible!
I realize this is only a snippet of the last month, but it is a start. I will be back soon with more, I promise. I just really need to plan my class for tomorrow and get some sleep!
