oy vey!
It's true, I have been away for awhile. And yes, a lot has been happening in my life.
In August I finally moved into my new place....
Hold it...let me back up to the end of June. I started my job at HSLDA with lights and action, (see previous post about my first day on the job.) I also hit the ground running. Besides getting back into a somewhat familiar job,I was gone 5 weekends in 1.5 months. I traveled for work to: Kentucky, Baltimore, California, and Ohio, and I managed a quick trip home for another wedding reception for Jeremy and Jessica. In August, I began to catch my breath, but that was short lived as the calls here at work began to come in at an average of 60 to 70 per day. Some days I topped off at 80. Besides the calls, I was also busy with many other aspects of my job.
For the month of July I was house-hunting, and in August, I moved into my beautiful place with my 3 awesome roommmates.
Katie's a legal assistant here at HSLDA. She keeps busy with her job, law-school and baking amazing fresh bread. She hails from Minnestota. Both of us love to cook, and just last night we both cooked and chatted the night away.
Abigail also works here at HSLDA in my department. She sent shockwaves through our home when an eager young lad began the quest for her heart, not 2 weeks after she came back to the area. (She had gone home for a long visit.) We knew it was serious the night he came over and thew stones at her window to get her attention!
Alyssa is a school teacher east of Purcellville. She hails from Indiana--another good midwestern girl. She delights in telling us stories of life as a teacher, and we have a blast hearing them.
I have also been keeping busy with church activities, Bible studies, Hebrew classes, and all of the things in life that constantly provide us with a reason the sigh and say, "I'm so busy".
I am enjoying my work here. I've made awesome new friends, and gotten back in touch with friends I "left" when I moved to Fairfax. I do still go and watch "my" kids. They have all grown and changed so much, even in these few short months.
September finds my job slowing from the crazy pace of August. It's also bringing cooler days--fall is here!
So, there you have it. I do hope to update this more often, now that I am stettled, but I make you no promises.
So, my adoring public, ie, Jeanette--there's a quick update!
