Weekend Away.

I'm leaving for San Fransisco tomorrow for a long-overdue visit with my dear friend Paige. I absolutely cannot wait and have been looking forward to it for weeks!! We're going to get Chipotle and eat frozen yogurt and paint our toenails and sing-a-long to all the Britney Spears songs (old AND new) and visit with Erica, who I haven't seen in over a year, and it's all just going to be absolutely fabulous. if I'm lucky we'll even get to watch Survivor!! Of course now that I'm actually leaving tomorrow I'm realizing that this is my first weekend away from Steven since we got married and that does make me a little sad. He will be working all weekend and we wouldn't have had a ton of time together anyway but it will be so strange to be saying goodnight over the phone again, especially since that's one of the things we were most excited to give up after we got married. The good news is there's no chance of me leaving my heart in San Fransisco as it will still be here in Enumclaw with my husband. Yes, I know, how cute and mushy and overly cheesy. I love it. I thought of it in the car and decided I just had to post it :)

Have a marvelous weekend and get excited for a fun new blog post when I get home next week!

Feelin' Good!

Woohoo!!! What a great start to the new year! The sun has been shining for 5 straight days now and I am just in the best mood ever! I turned in three different applications today: a substitute application with the Enumclaw School District, a substitute application with the White River School District and an application for a position to fill in for a first grade teacher while she's on maternity leave. That's the one I'm really hoping for!! (please pray with me!) I didn't know for sure if it was just for maternity leave or not but now that I know it is -- it's just SO perfect! It would start at the end of February and finish at the end of May. Just in time for our trip to Hawaii :) And it would be so fabulous to have another full time teaching experience in which I don't have to set up my own classroom and come up with all of my own material. How marvelous! I think it would really help with my fear of being a first-year teacher.

I'm so ready for my life to take off right now. I have all of these things that I want to do and accomplish and I'm so over procrastination right now! I'm going to start an event planning business. For real. It actually has a name now and everything. I've got 4 different wedding shows that I want to attend this month and just start networking and see how other people in the business work and I'm going to get a website up and running sometime in the next couple of weeks. I even have my first wedding lined up already! Eeeeee!

I haven't decided if I'm going to let the voice acting thing sit on the back burner for now or if I'm going to start moving forward with that also. It's going to be a bit of an investment to get the hardware and software I need to work out of my home, but if I start subbing a little more this month and next then that won't be an issue. I kind of need an income to start my little small business ventures.

I don't know if I've ever been so excited about a new year before, it feels good :)
