too long

wow.  i can't believe it's been a year since i last posted.  so much has happened in a year...it's unbelievable.

some highlights.

- i completed my first official year of teaching, and it ended with a love/hate relationship with my school.  total love relationship with teaching, but definitely love/hate with my school.  still, i'm going back next year, and i hope it's an improvement!

- i moved in with joe.  and the rest of his family.  while we're happily living together, the living space is less than ideal, and we really wish we could afford a house of our own.  i feel like all i do is keep an eye on money, and there is just never enough of it.  stupid credit cards...if only i could have somehow worked a way to go back to school full time and work full time!  granted, i wouldn't change going back to school for the world...best decision ever...but i hate that i'm still paying off the credit card debt from it!  oh well...

- i met a fabulous woman named carrie, who totally understands my work frustrations, since she shares in them with me daily!  love her!

- kate and andy had a baby boy, lowell!  he's adorable, always sticking his little tongue out in pictures, and they became the first of my friends to have a baby.  kate, in natural kate way, takes adorable baby pictures and was such a cute pregnant woman.  i know they will be amazing parents.

i'm spending the summer finishing my master's courses, un-cluttering and organizing my life, writing curriculum, working at rita's (yum!), and trying to squeeze in as much yoga and walking as my energy level (and wallet) will allow.

namaste.
