It's Been a Long Time!

Sorry for the lack of posts! I've been incredibly busy--and incredibly exhausted as well.

Here's an update:

My promotion at work was official on July 1st--and it means a great deal more responsibility (and a raise!!). I'm excited about this opportunity! It is a perfect place for me to be, as my boss and I recently started my mentoring/preparation to be a part of the management team in a year or less. I am SO excited about that!

I flew home last weekend for my dear friend Melanie's wedding. It was beautiful! I have two more weddings this summer, and they will all require trips to NorCal--which isn't a bad thing! :) By Labor Day weekend, I will have earned my second free ticket this year on Southwest. :) I think I'll take a trip to Oklahoma, to see my family and to learn about my "roots"--as that's where my great-grandparents grew up.

I had breakfast with a friend of mine from high school on Saturday, a guy that I "dated" my sophomore year. He is one of the few friends that I still keep in touch with, and it was so great to catch up with him. He is still just as good looking as ever ;)

I leave for D.C. early Thursday morning, and I'm looking forward to that. I will be able to reunite with friends that I haven't seen in three years or so...and I will also be in the city that I had expected to be living and working in by now. I am praying that through this visit God will give me more of a peace about where I am right now--because I do truly know that I am where He wants me to be. Still, it will be hard not to be sad to leave D.C., because part of my heart still longs to be there.

Update on my boss: Mike is home, having physical therapy there. The doctors still have no idea what's wrong with him, which is disconcerting. He is expected to return to work on July 17th--and I can't wait! He has definitely been missed!

That's all I've got for now...this month is busy but great! I have something going on every weekend--either I'm going somewhere, or someone is coming to see me. I am really looking forward to it all!

Happy Independence Day! :)
