Officially 26 days of school left. This year has been great, but busy. Definitely some stressful moments getting everything done. I'm so ready to just ease my mind for a month during the summer. I'm not working, which may be a blessing or a curse. I'm going to try and start college classes for my masters this summer. I need to take a couple of classes anyway, so I figured why not spend the summer doing school work and enjoying the lovely weather. I think I've successful survived my first year of teaching 2nd grade. Cheers to that!
In my previous entry I've mentioned the guy I am in a relationship with. His name is Konner! I figured I'd get that out there since I'll be talking about him every once in a while. I'm slowly introducing him people that are close to me. Last weekend we went out and I randomly saw Nick (who works at the school) and his wife. It was not planned, but we ended up running into them and we had a great time. It was nice to actual go out Konner and be around other people. I usually become anxious and feel like a fool. Nick and Melissa did reach out to me and mentioned they had a wonderful time and they really liked Konner. Like I said before, it's been an adventure in the dating relm, so I feel like I'm being extra cautious with everything.
During my April break I took a quick trip down to Nashville with some family. I had a great time and it was definitely needed. The last vacation I went on was to visit two best friends in California a couple years ago. Nashville had beautiful weather while I was there. We did this cute wine tasting at a horse barn. I thought it was a bit pricey for what it was, but we had fun regardless. We spent some time at the zoo one day as well. My nephew was with us so we wanted to make sure we did some kid friendly things while we were down there. There was this aquarium resturant that was really cool. That evening the adults went out to broadway. We went to a few different bars and had a wonderful time. I ended my night at Jelly Roll's bar and got a tattoo! It was crazy.
After I got back from vacation I did not see Konner all that much due to his ex leaving for 5 days and telling him last minute. It's so frustrating sometimes dealing with all of it. I'm looking forward to everything being finalized with the courts. That Saturday he wanted to go out to dinner, so I ended up meeting him down in Portsmouth. It was a bit of a drive for me, but I don't mind driving. I still have not met his daughter yet and it finally came up in conversation. During dinner he told me he obviously has never had someone meet his daughter before and is unsure how to navigate evertyhing, but he wants me to be apart of his daughters life. Honestly I was not expecting this conversation, but it made my heart sink. I know we have feelings for each other, but it felt good knowing how much he actually does care about me. He also told me I'm a wonderful person and wants his daughter to be around someone like me and feels like he is ready to move forward with this. Since we've had the conversation, I haven't met her yet, but I will relatively soon. I'm not sure if I want wait until everything is finalized (which will happen soon) and then meet her. I find his ex manipulative and would use anything she possibly could against him. So I'm not really sure when I'll be meeting his daughter, but we will see.
This weekend I had the house to myself. Marije (best friend whom I ive with) was gone in NYC at a tattoo convetion and meeting up with her cousin. Konner ended up saying Friday evening through early Monday morning with me. Friday after work I was trying to clean up the house a little. We have baby chicks and I figured I would clean out the brooder so it was taken care of. I was getting everything all set and I was carrying thing the giant tub into the garage. I missplaced my step and I ended up falling down the two small steps that lead into the garage. My foot/ankle folded and I felt a snap. I freaked out and called Konner right away. I was crying and in so much pain. He drove to me right away and brought me to the emergency room. We spend out Friday night together at the ER. It was so wonderful...NOT... turns out to only be a bad sprain. All weekend he was here with me anyway, which helped out so much. Saturday we went out to breakfast together and did some small shopping. I honestly have no idea how I managed to do that, but I did come home and we took a nap aftewards. I was so tired from dealing with all the pain and everything else. We had a wodnerful weekend regardless of my ankle/foot injury. It was nice to spend time together 3 consecutive days. Normally we don't get to do that. It was definitelty needed.
Wednesday morning I'm going to a follow up for my ankle/foot. Even though it's a sprain, they still wanted me to go in. As much as I don't want to, Konner said it's probably a good idea to have them look at it more closely at the orthopedics rather than the ER. I just hate taking time off from work, especially right now. It's more hassle than it needs to be. Crossing my fingers they don't find anything on the x-ray that was missed by the ER.
