Life Update in 90 Seconds

If you're catching up or care to know:
  1. My full-time internship at La Junta ends 7 August.
  2. I'm out of university a year now, at age 22.
  3. Looked at several outdoor education jobs for next year. Ran into difficulty because of housing and Richard's lack of work permit / green card 'til December. Frustration, tears, throwing things, etc.
  4. Was made aware of AmeriCorps City Year program from a good girl friend. Went through the application / interview process, was accepted. Decided it almost wasn't worth it (my heart was set on PeaceCorps and had been so since early high school.)
  5. Changed my thinking. Did more reading on City Year. I'm committed for 2009 - 2010 and thoroughly and completely ready.
  6. Will finish the summer running the stables and being part of the camp program staff. Possibly last (and fourth) summer here = sadness.
  7. Getting married to pretty awesome person on 14 August, a Friday. Super-brief honeymoon plans involve camping gear, canoe, and Silly Yellow Dog.
  8. Plan to move to inner-city San Antonio if not by August, then by December, once Richard can work. It'll be my first time in the middle of a big city— but I'm ready.
  9. After City Year? I'd like a camp / outdoor ed. job out-of-state for a few years. Possibly seasonal traveling.

  1. I am thoroughly excited about you getting to move into downtown! As you know, once I moved away I really became to appreciate downtown so much more. Now that I'm 1000 miles away I like to go a few times a year. ha.

    I think it's also pretty awesome that you've been able to be involved in so much in only a few years! I've been thinking about what I could do that would be different and fun for awhile. Hmm. still clueless on that front.
