Now I remember why I don't update this thing aka 2 hours of my life that will never be returned

Well, lots of exciting things have been happening around the Orfanos household, each worthy of their own post. However, I am lazy. And under time constraints. Hence the bulleted list and pictures! Enjoy!

• 
  
  We had an anniversary!
  
  





Celebrated by an early morning breakfast and PIE! on pi day (of course). Pie at 6 am equals not such a great idea. Lesson learned.




• I went to Nationals in Georgia!







Mah team! GO UTES!




• I traveled across state lines to Alabama!
  

Piggly Wiggly. Who knew?

• I had a birthday!







22! Woot woot!




• I spent said birthday in an airport because someone who shall not be named booked my flight for the wrong day and had to spend $300 and 6 hours waiting for the next flight!
  


• We went on a cruise!!






Our goal for the cruise was to never put on underwear. Between swimsuits and uh, other activities, I have to declare MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.




• 
  
  I became the State Women's Air Pistol Champion!
  
  
  


• I met Tim Gunn!





• I graduated!









HOLLA!




• I got a job at JetBlue!
  
  
  


• I became the Regional Women's Sport Pistol Champion!

And yeah. That's just about it. Stay tuned for a hopefully more documented summer!

Peace out.

This past weekend we headed to Colorado Springs for the National Winter Airgun Championships at the Olympic Training Center.USA!

side note: I taught the little Chinese girls in my preschool class that holding two fingers up means peace. So now they randomly walk around and yell PEACE! Also, the other day they had peas and carrots for lunch. My co-teacher was trying to tell them that they're called PEEAS, not peats or peads or whatever they were calling them. As evidence that I am an awesome teacher, my little Chinese diva says, "I KNOW! THEY'RE PEACE!" and flashes the peace sign. AWESOME.

And now resuming with relevant information...here's my incredibly strong husband supporting the world

My turn
Alright, now the serious business...I competed against about 40 other women over 3 days. Every day I scored about the middle of the pack, steadily moving upwards to about 17th place. Sooo, nothing to write home about but it was still a good time. The women I competed against have been shooting for years and years and years so for me to beat even one person is a pretty good accomplishment. One of the top competitors was about my age but has been shooting for 8. YEARS. No way is my 4 months going to compare to that. But whatevs.

The setup


I survived my first major competition. HOORAY!

Learn to swim: CHECK

I'm like a tiger in the water. RAWR.

So it's official.

I can swim.

Not very well, but that's beside the point.

And I'm loads better than I was 2 months ago.

Today during class was the first time that I actually swam laps without any sort of kickboard or floaty thingy. And I can totally tread water. And if someone pushed me into a lake I'm pretty sure I wouldn't drown. Like 85% sure.

I'll take those odds.
