Celebrating The School Stuff

Last weekend my big little brother graduated from college with his Bachelors.

It was incredibly cool to see my younger brother participate in such a life changing event and I am so glad I was able to escape work for a day and hang out with my family (Anthony, regrettably couldn't get out of work) even though it was only for about 24 hours.

Our family and my soon to be in-laws. So blessed to be able to call such wonderful people my family.

I also got to see the last home series of my brother's college baseball career and even better that they kicked butt!!!

 I figured this was my last baseball game for a while so my traditional pretzel had to happen. It's not a baseball game for Elaina if a huge soft pretzel with salt isn't present. Also spilling mustard all over my leggings definitely had to be a highlight of the trip.

 She's already family but in November she will officially be my sister!!

So proud of you for finishing college William!!! I love you!

And speaking of school.... I've decided that I'm going back.... And I am so excited I think my head is going to explode!!!! I will be pursuing a Nutrition Certificate and a Personal Trainer Certification with the goal of helping people like me with jacked up bodies or just anyone that wants to be healthy to achieve health in a natural/holistic way. I can't wait to be back in a learning environment and be better equipped to help myself, and eventually others, to live life at the healthiest capacity. I'll still be working full time and focusing on mainly taking night and online classes but I'm over the moon. Plus, having something to focus on at work that I'm excited about makes me less likely to pitch myself off the roof (just kidding, I'm totally afraid of heights). My always brilliant mother has suggested that I document my transformation (physical and educational) through this process so that I can help others later using my personal experience so there you go.
