life, love and other mysteries.

(point of grace, anyone?)
Hey Dfunk!
Molly & Caroline, thanks for your updates. I think of both of you regularly (molly, i just found a picture of us together in NY in high school!) and i miss you very much!!

So here is the promised update from me-
As of yesterday evening, I am MOVED! i am down in virginia beach living with my brother. i'm technically not very moved in yet... my mom and dad came down for the weekend and essentially all of my stuff is still in the van. we are hanging out with some of my relatives that live in this area for the weekend and then as of monday it will be just me and my bro! i'm really excited for the change in location (i was going a little stir crazy at the house. i love spending time with my parents, but during the day i was always by myself and i never had anywhere to go. ugh.) i don't have a job yet, but i'm not too concerned about it. i am looking at volunteering at the aquarium here (you can scuba dive!) and maybe getting my lifeguard certification (a valuable thing for my line of work...haha). i am also looking at some other possibilities, but i honestly don't know how long i will be staying here. I have been hoping to move out to Madison, Wisconsin with my friend steph- from outward bound last summer- but things keep getting put on hold with that. Originally (as in during the end of spring semester) we had talked of moving to san francisco, but we visited there before i went to camp this summer and we both liked it, but not in the 'i really want to live here' sense. Plus san francisco= uber expensive. Anyway, Madison is where we have been thinking of most recently, but she isn't prepared to be moving until anywhere from november to january (depending on job hunting)... so i am going to definitely be in virginia until then & i may not even end up moving out there this year, so we'll see!

All that being said (sorry for such a long post, it has been a while since i've talked to many of you!) i feel like this opportunity to live with my brother is an amazing one. we have always gotten along, but he went to college when i went to middle school, so we haven't lived together in forever and we just don't really know each other that well. i am looking forward to spending more time with him and becoming friends! (please keep both of us in your prayers during this process! he has lived alone for quite some time and i've never lived with just one person, so it will be an adjustment for both of us!)

also- to majorly backtrack... camp was amazing this summer! i loved it so much and i would really like to go back. it isn't often that you get paid to have the time of your life and to work with such great people. (except of course when you work at dfunk camp!) also, i have a new love interest as a result, but he has a girlfriend. sigh. maybe i should just tell him to read our list? :) hahaha.

alrighty, i'll leave it at that so those of you who should be doing work or something aside from reading this blog will only have missed an hour of working time instead of two... (thankfully this post isn't actually that long.)

LOVE!
