The last two months have been nothing less than CRAZY.
I almost don't even know where to begin.
Breathe in...
Several weeks, particularly weekends, during the months of January and February, I was dedicating most of my time to running. I participated in 3 major races within a month's time - 1 marathon, 1 half marathon and 1 team event. As I approached the middle of February, I was beginning to look forward to my mid-term break, however, lots still had to be done at school with 2 major 'inspections' fast approaching. Luckily, I survived everything and made it out alive to the mid-term break.
Breathe out...
This year, for the break, my friends and I decided to head off to Africa - Tanzania (and Zanzibar) to be exact. I was incredibly excited to finally experience a little of what the African continent has to offer - safaris, small villages, beaches, good food... Overall, the trip was great! I got to spend time with some good friends and I got to do some fun game drives and see some incredible animals. Most importantly though, I was forced to relax and disconnet for a few days, which for me is never an easy thing.
Breathe in...
Since returning from vacation, the craziness has continued. Back to work, back to football, back to crossfit (to participate in the Open) and on top of all that I've been helping to plan one of my best friends bachelorette parties and I've been awaiting all the preparations for the big wedding day, which is in just 4 weeks time.
Breathe out...
As if all that has not been enough to keep me busy...I have also been anxiously anticipating a major life change...a big move to VIETNAM in just 5 MONTHS! Yes, that's right, I will soon be leaving Dubai to take on a new challenge, a new position and a new experience in another part of the World. Never in a million years did I ever think I would be moving to South East Asia, but the time has come for me to move on and to try something new. Am I nervous? Of course. Especially since I have a billion things to do over the next few months. With that said, I am so so so incredibly excited as well!
Quote of the day:
"Just breathe in, breathe out ... and remember that moving forward means taking it one step at a time."
*It was such a great pleasure for me to participate in the 100 days of positivity challenge between November and February. I really appreciated the support and the positive feedback I received from so many. Now, please stay tunned for my UAE themed Throwback Thursdays which will begin soon and which will expose some of my greatest moments living in this very unique country that I've called 'home' for the last 4.5 years.
