Loving What I Have
As I sit here typing this my guy is sleeping on the couch, and I cant help but look over at him and smile. My two mentors/friends at work always make fun of me for blushing when I talk about him, and even some of my closest friends compliment on my "glow". It's been almost 2 years. We've had our ups and our downs. Our happy moments and our teary nights. But we've done it together. We work on out relationship (and ourselves) constantly, which helps each day get better and better. It's funny to think that when I first met him I couldnt stand him and would have been happy to never see him again...and now I cant see my life without him and cant sleep unless he is right next to me.

Oh, Thursday Nights
I absolutely LOVE Grey's Anatomy. I have been watching since the very beginning. There are very few Thursday nights that don't consist of me watching Grey's....and even then I make sure I catch up the next day. Grey's is an amazing combination of medical intrigue and steamy drama.
Many people on my Facebook friends' list have been bizzing about last night's season finale. Some are upset about all the twists, turns, and heartbreaks. But then there are fans, like me, just aching for more and wishing it was September already.
I stumbled upon Shonda Rhimes' blog post about the season finale, and it honestly made me fall in love with the writers, characters, the show, and her even more!!! Check it out here.
I'm off to watch the season finale again over on ABC.

Back in Action!
Hello all! I am sooooo happy to have my Internet back on and a little time to write. So what have I been up to???...
Moving and Living Together
The move went good. I was glad that we hired movers, especially since I was still on crutches and in a soft cast. The living together has been pretty good too. Not without bumps, but also not without lessons and growth. He went out a town a couple weekends, and it was definitely weird at night and sleeping alone. I like the way things are going. We have a great partnership. And he's not a gross boy, so I dont feel like a mom picking up after him. I cook now more than I have EVER had to cook in my life. Everyday basically. It's actually not too bad. The main challenge has been switching it up...variety. He doesn't eat seafood and I dont eat beef or pork, so we've had a lot of chicken and turkey meals. I'm trying to find things that are quick but different. Getting home at 7:30 and making a meal that takes longer than 45 minutes isnt an option. We're planning to have a cookout soon and I'm excited to have our friends over to our humble abode. :-)
Work
So, I basically got a promotion at work...and a raise! I've been put in charge of recruiting students, as well as planning our end of the year celebration. Things have been going good with that, and it gives me a chance to save more money for the summer since I wont be working while I'm in training.
DCTF
I'm sooooooooo excited to start training for DC Teaching Fellows. I have picked up my Guidebook (basically our textbook) and been fingerprinted. I started my assignments, which are due June 1st and made contact with a couple of principals at schools I'm interested in. I really hope I can get hired as a Kindergarten teacher. Ace of Rambles loves the kids! lol All in all the process is going very well. I'm glad that I'm already in the DMV because I have a co-worker who was a Fellow and she hated it. She admits that a lot of her disdain for the program comes from the fact that she moved here like 2 days before training started. She feels like she was always 10 steps behind everyone else.
The Frat
So much to my surprise I was elected to serve the Fraternity. I went to the conference back at the end of March with the intentions of supporting my home chapter and mingleing with Alumni in the area. I came home the new Section Chair, which means I now lead 7 chapters in the DC and Estern MD area. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOo excited (but more humbled) about this position. The work that will be done will be EPIC! Look out for updates.
Other
I really cant say that there is much going on in any other area of my life. My little sister is set to graduate from HS next month *tear* and she will be attending college in DC, which means I'll get to see her more. I have a SUPER busy summer ahead, so be prepared for LOTS of post!
SO HAPPY TO BE BACK!
