Wow

So much has happened since the last time I blogged! I have barely had time to think.
First and most important I am engaged!!!
It was super unexpected and has taken a while to sink in. I'm sure anyone who is reading this has seen the video but I'll tell the story anyways.
So Tuesday I go to work (at midnight) like usual thoroughly excited for my last day of work for vacation. I spend the day counting down the hours before I leave. So about 10 minuets before I am supposed to leave my producer starts bugging me that I can leave because I had nothing left to do but I thought it was weird so I stuck around for five or so more minutes then left. I walked out the door of the studio and there is John. My heart just started beating a million miles an hour and everything from this point on is a blur. He starts talking about how much he loves me and everything and it kind of hits me what he is doing but I was so shocked I just kept asking him "What are you doing?" I wish I had have paid a little more attention to the details. Like I don't think I even looked in his eyes the whole time, and definitely not when he was down on one knee asking me to marry him. I had been telling everyone for weeks that he wouldn't propose for a while because I seriously thought this was six or more months away. We went to breakfast and I was still just in shock. I called most of my family members and they were excited. I watched the video of the proposal about 15 hundred times. So I wake up on Wednesday when we are going to Vegas and it really hits me. I'm getting married. Now that it has sunk in and I've had time to think about it I am really excited! So Vegas was awesome, it was great to just get away and relax and not have to worry about anything really. Oh when we arrived in Vegas John has rented a stretch hummer limo (yes he is extravagant) and the man holding the sign when we arrived said "The Future Mrs. Hoffman" so crazy! The limo was so much fun though. We ate some amazing food, won a little money, lost a little money and just had an overall good time. Now I am back to work, ugh, and working on planning a wedding! Which for now is fun but I am sure will be stressful at some point.

Sports

I miss covering sports. Period. Not the high school sports I covered for a while but covering all sports all the time like I did as Sports Editor. It was awesome to sit in my little corner, telling people what to do and talking about random sports incidents all day, like the day we spent an hour on google trying to figure out what happened to Stuart Scott's eye. Or putting as many cliches into one story as possible. So fun. Unfortunately I don't think there will ever be another time like that in my life. Even if I was to be sports editor at another paper, I think being in college and covering one single sports team allowed us to goof off a lot and goof off we did. Again I say it was awesome.

Adrenaline Rush!!

I have been a blogging slacker. And for no really good reason either. I mean my life isn't as exciting at the title of my blog might imply, but I still have some good adventures. I just haven't felt much like writing them on here. Instead I work on writing my book. It's so fun! I always thought writing a book was so hard but once I had an idea (I never said it was a good idea but it is an idea nonetheless) the words kind of just flow out of me. It sounds cheesy I know but I actually get an adrenaline rush from writing. That makes me sound like a total nerd, I mean most people get adrenaline rushes from riding roller coasters, nope not me. I can get excited and I mean really excited just by sitting on my couch and busting out 5 or 6 pages. I used to get this feeling when I had to write on deadline for the newspaper, because its stressful you know. You have to write so many words and only have so many minutes to do it. But I never knew I could get the same feeling when there isn't a deadline anywhere in sight, but I LOVE it!! I came to work yesterday just smiling because I had written so much and it made me happy. So yeah to say the least I love writing. I always knew I did but now I know for sure I made the right decision 4 years ago when I chose journalism over being a doctor or sports medicine person. I was born to be a writer, okay that might be exaggerating, but still. I'm sure if you read my blog and I have been talking about this book for three or four posts now you are wondering what said book is about. Well..... I can't tell you yet! I'm worried if I try to describe it to someone else I might think it sounds stupid and stop writing, which is not what I want to happen! So maybe someday soon I'll post a little snippet but as for the whole story you'll just have to wait until I'm finished!
