A rundown of life in Tennessee

I have thought about starting a blog ever since I moved 500 miles away from everyone I knew and loved last August. Of course, I feel like everything I have to say is so important ;) but I didn't want to be annoying. However, I know some of my friends want to know what is happening in the fabulous greater Nashville area, so here goes! So the run down of the last few months in a nut shell follows... feel free to read if you would like to know what's been going on...if not, well bless your heart!

Here are the basics:

• I live in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. My massive 800 sq ft 1 bedroom apartment is located on the west side about 25 miles from downtown Nashville. *Nashville is located in the smack dab middle of Tennessee for those of you who have asked. :) Trigger and I are hopefully moving to an apartment down the street that is a bit bigger in August... to accommodate for alllll the people I know are going to visit!

• I go to Middle Tennessee State University (it is actually the biggest university in TN, and to my surprise, twice the size of Tech) and am getting my M.B.E. (Masters of Business Education). Again, for those who have asked, it is a masters through the college of business, not education. I will student teach after I graduate to become a certified teacher...ya know, because I change my mind every 10 minutes and I like my options!

As of June, I have 2 semesters of grad school down (*cough cough with a 4.0 GPA) and will graduate December 15, 2012(fingers crossed). Thus far, my exciting summer has included a rough 3 week Accounting II class that I am soooo happy is over! Until the end of June I have a not so fun 5.5 hour research class on Monday nights, and thankfully in July/August I only have online classes. 8 more classes separate me from my diploma!

I received news today that I got a job running a cheerleading camp during 1 week in July for around 100 girls with 2 helpers. This should be interesting! I lovedddd my experience spending a summer working at a sports camp in Texas, so hopefully this will be just as enjoyable. We shall see if 26 year old Caty can function the same as 19 year old Caty did before.

In case you didn't know, my sweet boyfriend Jacob moved to Nashville in January and works for a company called BoTel (ironically run by a bunch of cajuns!). He will be beginning some studio work (aka playing drums on artist's albums vs. on stage) in a few weeks, and is veryyy excited to say the least! I enjoy having a reason to go into the city...

And offff course, I'm sure you are all dyingggg to know what is going on with the prestigious Mr. Trigger. He has not lost his flair for the dramatic in Tennessee, and of course likes to randomly come up with various health issues. On my birthday, it was an ear infection, skin rash, and dislocated knee. I am happy to report he is just fine and is growling at the dog upstairs on a daily basis. He still enjoys doggy bones, any food you drop, and long walks around the apartment complex.

Hopefully this report update those who were wondering! If you are still reading and were not wondering, well then I hope you were at least entertained.

Until next time!
