summer

so far this summer has been pretty amazing. i spent 3 weeks in OH and now i'm back in ATH. i started my new job last week in which i'll be creating first year connection programs for a small community college near ATH. i spent most of my first week doing research on what other schools do for first year experience (FYE) and this week i'll be putting together a more concrete schedule, etc.

the best part of the summer has got to be the time i spend at the pool. i layed out most of the friday and spent a good part of saturday out too. i was going to lay out today but i was feeling a little crispy after the first two so i sat today out.

in short, i'm working for the weekend.

j & k plus 8

so... i've always been a big jon and kate plus 8 fan. especially after last summer when i had zero job and zero school... i spent a good portion of the summer watching the show. i LOVED it. but then they moved into a new big house, and now with these CRAZY rumors running amuck on the internet and in the gossip mags (both of which i read pretty religiously) it has really gotten me into a tizzy. i mean it's not even genuine anymore to me. instead of being a normal family, they're living in a mansion and they're celebrities. i find myself feeling genuinely sad about the whole debacle.

i think i need to stop reading all of the gossip. maybe i shouldn't dvr the show either.

ugh.

i'm still here

I'm alive. :)

I've been super busy with...

traveling back to OH for several weeks.

being a maid of honor.

getting back on track weight wise after aforementioned trip to OH.

starting a new j-o-b.

planning my summer travel.

more on all of this later.

xoxoxo.

personal shower

So I'm back in OH for a few weeks and one of the things I'm most excited about is throwing Jessie's Personal Bridal Shower. Anyone have suggestions for gifts?

I'm thinking I'm going to put together a wedding day survival kit. This one looked pretty complete. Any suggestions on things to add?

Next I need to find options for a cake...

I love being a MOH!
