nirvelli_lynnI EXIST! Whooo!
Not only do I exist, but I finally have the time/energy to update something of any merrit.
So... I'm teaching my first class this semester and so far it's going well. 4 of 6 weeks are completed and the grades are currently 18 A, 31B, 13C, 2D, and no one failing. We have one required exam left, a few participation points, and an optional final... so I'm pretty happy with the curve.
Research is going... there are projects going really well, and there are projects that are exhausting. But they are all going which is the important thing at this point.
Kate moves out here at the end of July. Her parents are renting a SUV and driving her out here... the car is rented (as of last night) and she's been packing and getting ready to move for the past 3 weeks. We have had a lot of serious conversations in the past few weeks and months, including discussions of the future. It's been nice to have a stable and postive relationship. Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself because... well, I haven't had too many of these. But I'm happy. And I have an amazing, smart and beautiful girlfriend who I know loves me very much, and I feel the same... I feel... blessed.
I'm going to Disney with Mom and Kate on June 18th and am totally excited. I miss them both and know we will have a great time exploring Orlando. Mom is well and in fact spent the night at the beer tent at Curwood with Kate. Tomorrow they plan on working then doing more Curwood stuff. It's really good to know that even though I'm not there, they both are well and having a good time.
Meanwhile, I am at the Wine Walk at Levenworth with Leah and David. Levenworth, WA is a cute Bavarian town similar to Frankenmuth but in the foothold of these beautiful mountains. There is a river right outside of our hotel and a balcony where I'm totally going to be spending my morning reading.
I'm doing well in the house. It was a huge change because I'd gotten so solitary, and still am to a large degree. But Michaela is teaching me Hebrew and we have started some household traditions (wine at 7pm) that are really nice and have created a nice sense of community. Moving in was a good move... even though there is a lot of pot which I'm seriously not a fan of... I stil am happy with the decision.
Casey is coming to visit July 5-11... Kate moves out here July 31... And things are just... good. Granted I want to kill myself some days when I have to collect data... but... I still feel good about where I am at, what I am doing, and where I'm going.
