I've been really busy this summer, along with suffering from lack of regular internet access, so this blog has fallen into unfortunate disrepair. Consider this post a cold drink in the desert with no promise of finding a spring.
I just figured it was time for an update on life in the pickle jar, but I'm pretty tired, so this is going to be pretty list-y.
1. Rob and I have continued our running regimen this summer. We're up to running 30 min, (or roughly 2.5 miles) without stopping. I'm looking forward to the day when it won't feel so much like work, but at least we'll be ready to run 5k for JDRF in September.
2. I flew to Seaside, Florida last weekend to see my dear friend JJ get married. It was a great time and a beautiful wedding, but an unfortunately quick trip. After arriving for the welcome party on Friday night, my return flight left at 6:05 on Sunday morning, which meant that I had to leave for the airport about 4 am. No fun. Then, as soon as I got back home, I had time for lunch and a load of laundry before driving to Fayetteville for the AP conference at the U of A. It was a productive week, but I was (and still am) worn out.
3. I have been unable to do any work in my classroom all summer because of construction going on in the building, but I was finally able to get a few things done today. It feels so great to be a real-live grown up teacher. Rob's been laughing at how excited I am about everything all day. It's nice to feel excited about something.
4. I finally found a place to live. I'm excited that everything is finally starting to come together. In just a few short weeks I'll be living and working and paying bills all on my own, just like a grown-up. I am so ready to finally be beginning the life I've been dreaming about for so long. So many parts of it didn't turn out exactly the way I envisioned, but I'm trusting God to make them better than I planned.
