better late then never...

I finally sorted through the photos from the week of Thanksgiving and I'm featuring a slideshow of Madelyn's party.
Enjoy

3 itis'

sinusitis, bronchitis & pharyngitis is what I have...




This is what I'm taking (1 Rx not pictured)

Changes

Can't believe its almost November! I caught this picture as I was leaving the apt. I'm loving the color fall brings! Hope everyone is having a great week... I'm trying to fight a cold or something that is taking all the energy out of me but hopefully it won't last long. :)

for you Mom...

In flight
Mom had wanted a photo of the geese taking off from the pond-we were never quick enough... last night as we were walking, this is what we saw.

just friday... what?

I'm very thankful its Friday! Even though my weekend is busy!

Have a summer-y weekend since it will be in the high 80s

I'll be seeing some of you tonight...

themed photography

So often I take photos of what I see (more less right in front of me) and don't always challenge myself to search something out. So I thought of a few themes I wanted to search out and here is one... rocks- I have many more but I'll probably use a few others in my upcoming blogs.
Seeing how busy I've been- you may have to wait awhile for blog updates. I'd like to stick with once a week, at least! This week I do not have one day/night off-but maybe I'll sneak something in on a break? Hopefully I'll be seeing some of you Friday!! Have a great week everyone!

Gold Crown

"Did you find everything alright? Do you have your crown rewards card?" These are said over and over again as this past week has been very busy and I've been able to catch on quick enough to handle the register while the other person helped a customer with some announcements. Its fun and I've heard nothing but great things about my performance which is nice.

My boss also gave me a little welcome gift and this was the card inside! They are so sweet! So yeah you can come visit me now that I have (mostly) everything down after my first full week.

Teaching...

"A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark."
Chinese Proverb

I will be starting my teaching at the ECDC at Notre Dame a week from today! It was a rough start- long story. But I'm finally placed and ready to begin! I think it will be worth getting up (extra) early for!

Thanks to everyone who prayed! God chose where I was to be placed and it was between ND & St. Mary's both were going to be great opportunities!

Have a great day!

Sunday afternoon...

Madelyn and Chloe came over for a few hours in the afternoon and we had a lot of fun feeding the geese & ducks, going for a walk, finding treasures, spotting the beautiful butterflies, and playing a game. A fun afternoon with a break from homework and studying :)
Love you girls!

The position has been filled

I am now a Hallmark Sales Associate... I accepted the position today and will begin next week. I'm glad the job hunt is over (for now)
Thanks for the prayers... keep them coming as I'll be working the evening shift as well as keeping up with school work- and teaching :)

stress reliever...

As a stress relief on a beautiful day I went driving with my windows down, radio up, and camera in hand... these are a few examples of what I found:

A Fall Welcome

Fall is here... maybe not officially but today was the first day with the crisp breeze blowing my hair around and the sun shining bright on the white fluffy clouds. The amazing feeling of cooler weather and changing leaves to come!
I'm getting somewhat nervous as I haven't been placed and I need to start my teaching. It is difficult for the "new guy" being that he came from another college and he is trying to get acclimated to the new program etc. It is somewhat overwhelming as I'm waiting to hear back from a job interview along with holding down the other jobs on the side that I'm doing. Hopefully, everything will work out with time.
Hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather today!
