I am really bad at this blogging thing. I go to blog and get distracted... ohhh old episodes of Storage Wars...
All is going so well here in DSM. Here are the updates!
School/Thesis: Chase and I had a come to Jesus meeting and created a new and better organized plan for my thesis' completion. He is actually helping me stay motivated-- which is so great. I have made a lot of progress and am actually excited to work on it again. Today was a 3 hour stint of work and it felt great. I am shooting to get it done asap-- meaning March. Oh crud. I put it on the internet... now someone might see it and hold me to it... that is okay.
Work: I have been working at Caribou Coffee since November 1. And its fun and the people are very nice but I just recently have started the process of becoming a substitute. I had an interview yesterday and am currently in the process of becoming approved by Des Moines Christian School to substitute. I have an interview tomorrow with Des Moines Public Schools. I think it will be interesting to see all of the different schools around DSM and hopefully make some connections and decisions about where I would like to work.
Also I have been working on To Kill a Mockingbird at Des Moines Playhouse which opens this weekend. The show is super lovely and the cast is doing a great job. It has been really wonderful getting involved in the local theater community. Last rehearsal is tonight... Break a leg!
Don't forget I blog at desmoinesisnotboring.com every other Wednesday.
Married Life: I love it. Being married is amazing. Chase is a really good husband and we still really like each other. Good to hear right? Our apartment is really great. Its just exactly what we need. Still no microwave and still no dishwasher... but I'm okay with that. Chase and I last weekend went to my cousin Julie's wedding in Texas. It was a fast jam packed weekend but it was amazing to see our family and friends. I needed that recharge. Living here in DSM isn't bad at all. I actually like it -- even though I am very far from some of my favorite people!
What is Next: I hopefully will have some long term subbing. I have been making some awesome recipes lately. Really ready for the snow to be gone... even though we only have about two inches. Gotta buy some more teacher clothes. Other stuff.
