Hello blog - we meet again, yes I know it's been almost a year AGAIN since the last post. Honestly I forget about you and really there's nothing that exciting going on in my life. Let's recap 2010.
In February/March I taught my first "college-level" class on American Government and I taught the same course again in June.
May brought with it the annual 3-day trip for the Middle School where we went to Washington, DC. Being in DC again, made me very wistful of the 4 months that I spent there in college. I sometimes wish that I could live down there again and get a job somewhere in the federal government....hmm we'll see.
June brought the close of another school year and some tough emotions that went along with decisions the adminstration made, which I will not go into here because, well, you never know who may stumble upon this.
In July it was back to work at Andersen's Farmstand which I can honestly say is a very peaceful job. I truly look forward to working there in the summer. I love being able to be outside all day - even if it is in the rain and sometimes have to deal with picky/annoying customers. I had a marvelous time at the 1st of 3 weddings of the summer, Congratulations Keith and Kristina! Luckily the torrential downpour lasted only the morning and the sky cleared for the beautiful outdoor ceremony.
In July I was also able to travel to the LCMS National Youth Gathering in New Orleans, LA. It is truly AWESOME to see 25,000+ youth and their adult leaders gather together for a time of worship, reflection and service. I am truly blessed to have been a part of this Gathering for the 2nd time as a Community Life Builder and I look forward to being able to do it again in 2013 in San Antonio, TX.
August was a busy month with work at the stand and 2 weddings - Congratulations go out to Karl and Krista AND Andrea and Tom! I was then able to spend a couple of days visiting my roommate up at her summer place in Rhode Island - BEAUTIFUL weather!
September/October - okay this is where the boringness begins -back to the grind of school work.
November was filled with no completely full weeks of school (woot) and a visit from Bethany! Thank goodness the weather was more agreeable than her last visit. We visited the sites in the City and even got to see Lucille Ball's daughter - Luci Arnaz!
December was a time to get ready for Christmas and visits with the family.
I am looking forward to 2011. There are things in my life that I would like to change, but well I'm not ready to make a resolution about them yet. Partly because if I don't fulfill the resolution I feel guilty about it! 2011 will be a good year - there will be a new addition to our family in February with the birth of "Little Perez" to Jessica and Luis and the whole family is very much excited for this new little one to arrive.
Okay, that's it for the update. Maybe a resolution that I'll make for the year is to try and update this more frequently...haha we'll see!
