Well this is it, my first post that lacks a review of a reading for my 555 class. I finished the class last week, and am pretty darn excited about it, so far 3 classes down and I still have a 4.0! So I don't have anything exciting or witty to say, but I really want to try and post about once a week, or at the very least after something exciting has happened. As luck would have it for this week, it is my first post in a week, and exciting things have happened recently!
This past week my mom and sister came to visit. I am not at the point yet where i am ready to upload pictures onto this blog, but suffice it to say that we had a lot of fun. We took a Segway tour of the city, which while very fun can be hard on the old legs. For anyone out there interested I would highly recommend the Memorial Highlights Tour through segsinthecity (www.segsinthecity.com). It is only 45 bucks, and an hour and a half long (trust me when I say that is the longest you want to stand on a segway). It was very hot, but the guy who gave the tour had a lot of information to share, and we traveled completely around the tidal basin here in the city. After that we went to the POV at the newly named W Hotel. Way too hot to do that, pretty views but I had sweat in places I would rather not think about anymore! I love having my family visit. They are incredibly important to me, and I have found that the older I get the better my relationship with my mom and sisters has become. That is such a joy to me, and it is beyond difficult to watch them when they leave. I am excited to see them again for a wedding though here in a few weeks.
Then Dan and I traveled up to New Jersey for Joan and Nathan (Shifflet)'s wedding. While there we stayed with Dan's Aunt Nancy, and saw Amy, Melissa, Brian, William, and all of Dan's immediate family. It was a nice weekend, though I was over emotional much of the time. Why is it that I cry like a baby about dogs in cages, and at other people's weddings, but was stone faced at my own wedding and so logical in my every day work?! We also visited Ellie (Dan's step-grandmother) this past weekend. She has been in the hospital now for a month. I must say, she has convinced me very much in the power of prayer. 2 weeks ago they were preparing for her death within a few hours, and suddenly she had a complete turn around, her blood pressure stabilized, she is breathing on her own, infections are healing themselves! It is incredible, note to self those Hail Mary's really do work! Overall it was a nice weekend, but I fear sometimes that Dan and I are getting too used to being on our own. We were ready for our normal schedule, and our own bed!
This is the last week I have before AC training starts, which of course bleeds right into RA training, and opening, and the first six weeks. Before I know it it will be December. But I don't want to get too ahead of myself, for now I want to stay positive and enjoy the moment. I have some exciting plans for NN2 this upcoming year, and lots of things to get ready!
So with that, I supposed I will end this post. I doubt many will read it, but hopefully this will be a good resource for me (as a future librarian) to refer back to moments in my life, so I can remember things I am sure I will soon forget. For now, toodles!
