Where in the world is...

Yes, I have fallen off the map.
I am in the midst of my pre-midlife crisis. And it's bad. But also really, really awesome. I decided some time ago to go back to school because I wasn't happy with my career. I hit the ceiling at 28 years old and it was a sobering realization that I had no place to go unless someone died. I'm not exactly the type of person to sit around with my fingers crossed whenever someone had chest pain only to be discouraged when it turned out to be indigestion.
10 years filled with the Army, school and just plain working my ass off and this was it. How could this be IT? I should have been happy, I should have been proud. I was one of the youngest Lab Managers in the industry but that also meant I sometimes wasn't taken seriously. I could overcome that, what I couldn't overcome was that this was IT. No, this was not how it was supposed to be.
So I decided to go back to school and in order to do that I needed to find a night job so I could go back to school full time during the day. And I did it, well I guess I am doing it, but it's carried quite the price so far. It will get better, once this semester is over I will have a better understanding of when to schedule my classes so that I don't walk around like a flesh eating zombie. Soon.
Anyway, I have thousands of pictures sitting on my hard drive unloved so I decided to just pull some easy ones off and work on them before class today. This is the girl's soccer team during a car wash fundraiser last month, I think September 9th if you want to be specific. Aren't they friggen adorable?! Lovelovelove those girls!
