My Birthday Weekend and My First Week Being 26

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Let's take this post back to Thursday, 4 May. I woke up early in the morning to finish getting the house ready for Emmy! After getting the house ready I drove the 1.5 hour drive to the airport to pick her up. On the way back we talked quite a bit. After getting back home we hung out at the house and had a super relaxing day.


The next day was my birthday!! I was turning 26 so I figured a new year should have a fresh healthy start. 


I woke up in the morning and had some coffee on our front porch. After getting some coffee Emmy and I went out to the San Pedro River and decided to do a nice hike.












It was beautiful! After the hike we did some yoga and then took a shower and got ready for the day.


We went to Wal-Mart to grab a few birthday essentials and I gave Emmy a little tour of Sierra Vista.




Later that night Jake made us margaritas and took us to my favorite restaurant so we could get burritos! We ate supper and watched Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. By then it was midnight and everyone, including myself, was exhausted so we went to bed.




Saturday Emmy and I stayed in Sierra Vista and went to a couple different events they have going on. We went to the West End Tour and I bought a couple items for Jake and my Mom.




In the afternoon we went to the pool and in the evening we went to the carnival that was going o in town. We went on a few rides, had cotton candy, and watched a band perform.


Sunday we went to Tombstone! We looked around and shopped in some of the shops there. We also got matching pullovers.








In the afternoon we went to the mall and then we went to one of my favorite spots in town! We watched the sunset and it was beautiful.


Monday it was time for Emmy to leave. We made pancakes in the morning and then she got ready for the 1.5 hours drive to the airport.



Tuesday morning I did foam rolling and some yoga with the garage door open. The wind coming in felt so nice.


I made some scrambled tofu and then tried to catch up on my school work.



Later that evening I worked out with Jake.




Wednesday morning after foam rolling and yoga I decided to try something new. I managed to make tofu mc muffins. They were so good and I'm going to have to make a post on my recipe later. Throughout the day I worked on school and housework and in the evening I lifted weights.








Thursday I went out to get stuff for the house. I worked on school most of the day. Later at night I did some cardio, spinning, and made some supper for Jake.

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!

So Many Changes

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
During my last post I was still doing my externship at a veterinary clinic near me. Since then, I have been hired as a veterinary technician! I have been loving this job. It's been stressful but has been so rewarding.  My goals lately have been some smaller ones such as getting better at blood draws (I have hit 100% of my veins in the last 3 weeks!), triple checking invoices, and getting all my charts completed by the end of the day. When I feel that I have improved enough I will start training in surgery. That's my goal anyway. Then, once I start training in surgery and become a surgery tech I can start working towards my goal of becoming a critical care technician.  I have progressed in my career but I have also progressed in my personal life as well.  I have finally hit my goal weight since getting off my birth control and getting the Paragard. Now my next goal is to build more muscle, gain endurance, and become more flexible again. I have also started can...

Mexican Cruise Day 1: Los Angeles, California

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
We left home Friday evening with plenty of time to spare to get there early Saturday morning, find parking, get checked in, etc. Before we left town we stopped at one of my favorite restaurants and got supper. After hitting the road we went through Tucson and Phoenix with no issues.  After a rest stop in Phoenix with bathroom breaks and stocking up on food and water we were set to drive across the desert with no stops for at least a few hours. About one hour into the desert (1am) we got a flat tire! A nail was left on the side of the road and punctured our tire. Thankfully my Dad was with us. Jake and my Dad managed to get the doughnut on the car. We tried calling AAA but there was an accident and the person coming to help us got flagged down by the police to help out.  After getting the spare on we tried finding a tire shop that was open 24 hours. There wasn't one within 100 miles! We drove to the closest one and then they had to help someone else out so n...
