Good Grief

I skipped a whole month! Whoops...

Obviously a lot has happened since last I posted: I graduated, walked (with my parents and Kevin present), had a Merry Christmas with the fam, had a Happy (drunken) New Year in Chicago with Korpals and peeps, and a wonderful visit with those Norrises in South Kadota.

Life after school has been going well. I've enjoyed having some time to myself to do some reading, crocheting, crafting, wedding planning, movie watching, sleeping... you know: doing what I want to do. I've also been spending quite a bit of time with that Kevin of mine, which has also been nice. Seeing him not as often as I would have liked to during student teaching was a pain and so being able to spend some good quality time together has been lovely.

I was back to work at HCrizzle after we returned from our trip and have been working since then: subbing, aftercaring, and doing a bit of summer camp planning. I'm feeling optimistic and enthused for this upcoming session of summer camp! I'm hoping we will be working out many of the kinks from last year and the years before... we shall see how things go. I'm currently a bit miserable at Honey Creek and I would really like to have a good going away summer so I may remember it (and my coworkers) fondly.

So many phases of my life have finished with me walking away happy to leave and not caring about whether or not I see any of the people or places from that phase ever again (ex: high school, Gateway Chiropractic, EMU). Later on I have been sorry that I did not spend more time saying good-bye, cherishing the people/places while I had them, etc. I don't want Honey Creek to finish like high school did... and then with me later regretting how I left the situation. It will certainly be a challenge.

More interesting news to come in more posts this week... just you wait...
