<br />
Thanks for sticking around and I'm sorry for the radio silence. It's never intentional but life happens. I'm working on some other things right now and may not be back here regularly for a while. Don't worry, I'm not breaking up with you before Valentine's Day.<br />
<br />
XOXO,<br />

Today was my first day and I'd be lying if I said I didn't come home at 4 pm, have dinner, and take a nap. I forgot how lively high schoolers are! And I forgot what the sky looks like at 5:30 am...totally black. I forgot to take a first day of school pic but just imagine a bright dress and a jean jacket to get a good idea.<br />
<br />
After I woke up from my nap, I made a Target run in which I spent more than intended (has that ever NOT happened?) and enjoyed Starbucks for the second time today.<br />

A lot's changed in the past couple of weeks. But we'll start back in August. Or really, last spring. I began applying for teaching jobs earlier this year and after the school year started, I hadn't heard anything from any school. In late August, I started </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">getting job interviews. I went on several and while they went well, none seemed like a good fit. Then two weeks ago, I interviewed at a school and loved it. Towards the end, they told me I was the youngest and least experienced candidate. My hopes of getting the job sank, especially when the day I expected to hear back came and went without a phone call or email. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then about two weeks ago, I got in a wreck. I won't go into the details but it was bad. I came out of it as well as anybody could in that sort of thing- with a few scratches, bruises, and banged up knees. I spent a few hours in the hospital before some very sweet friends (D+L- seriously, I can't thank you enough) were able to bring me clothes and wait with me until I was discharged at some point that night. I was still in shock at the time and spent the majority of the night wondering where my new Bonlook glasses were. The firemen couldn't find them in my car before taking me to the hospital. Once I was at the hospital, I kept fixating on how much one of the doctors looked like Emilio Estevez. I've heard when you're in shock, you focus on one thing to cope with the stress. Now I understand why.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The next few days were weird, for lack of a better word. I ached all over and kept reliving that night. My parents were wonderful and helped me out more than I'll ever know. And Oliver was totally fine with napping all day. On Friday, my dad and I decided to go car shopping. It was his birthday and I felt guilty that he had to spend it helping his hobbling daughter pick out cars. On the way, I got a call from the school I loved. They wanted to hire me! I couldn't believe it. And my dad was so happy to be looking at cars that he failed to realize at one point that I was half asleep on a bench. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That night, we found a car I liked and enjoyed late night milkshakes and everything felt alright again. Since then, most of my bruises have gone away, I turned in a notice at my current job, and started collecting supplies to decorate my classroom. I'll be finishing up my current job on Friday and hopefully starting my new one shortly after that.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's wild to think of what I was doing just a month ago and what I'll be doing at this time next month.

An loose fitting dress with a little bit of sparkle? Count me in. The only thing between me and it was the price tag.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was productive, if by productive, you mean watching the entirety of season 9 of "The Office." I made zero plans and didn't regret it one bit. I made a big list of things to accomplish on Saturday morning and slowly knocked them all out. But really, watching season 9 of "The Office" made it on to the list of things to do. Baking a cake and going to a party was on the list, too. It was pretty much my favorite list ever.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08175095427264813448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775207410115611847.post-13373058099469480082013-08-08T06:00:00.000-07:002013-08-08T06:00:11.247-07:0065 Years<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This week marks my grandparents' 65th wedding anniversary. SIXTY FIVE YEARS! Can you imagine? They're the funniest, sweetest people and I'm incredibly lucky to have had the luxury of growing up next door to them. They let me watch Scooby-Doo on Saturday mornings when my parents wouldn't, turned me on to the Grand Ole Opry, and best of all, my grandmother always had a homemade cake cooling in the kitchen. A huge crowd came out to celebrate and, as usual, my grandpa was wild. Did you see the knife in that first picture? </span></div>

Truth be told, I've had a badditude for the past couple of months. Nothing terrible has happened and I'm not totally sure what brought it on, though I fear turning 25 had a little something to do with it. And the ever-looming question of "what's next" hasn't seemed to help much either. Hopefully I'll be back to the regularly scheduled programming soon! Thanks for caring and asking.<br />

Just kidding. I've actually just been being super lazy and halfway forgot about this thing called the internet.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anyway, here are a few pictures from the Staff Ball in DC the day after the inauguration. This was likely the only time I will ever be in the same room as the Obamas, the Bidens, Lady Gaga, and Tony Bennett. A good time, that's for sure. I can't believe it's been almost six weeks since I was traipsing around DC. I love that place.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I wrote a piece for my hometown's local magazine, <a href="http://www.pinestrawmag.com/">PineStraw</a>, and finally saw the finished product in the December issue yesterday! Though the magazine is mostly justavailable around Pinehurst, you can read it online <a href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/9c32e97d#/9c32e97d/1">here</a>. (Hint: I'm on page 75)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A few weekends ago, I went to a dinner party on a farm with some friends. It was everything Anthropologie wishes it was- a little bit eclectic and a lotta bit charming.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Thanksgiving crept right up on me. It felt like one day I was watching fireworks in July and then the next I was being questioned about the lack of turkey on my plate during Thanksgiving dinner. Like most weekends, this one came and went entirely too fast. Though it was filled with all kinds of goodness: shopping all night on Thursday straight on until breakfast time on Friday, hanging out with beautiful friends who I rarely see now that they're off being brilliant in other states, watching Grand Ole Opry with my grandparents, and seeing Sufjan Stevens at the Haw River Ballroom.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is the first holiday season where I've felt <i>old.</i> I knew the day would come when I didn't have a month-long holiday break but after being in school for so long and then switching sides to play the part of a teacher, I've had long Christmas breaks for the entire time I've had a working memory. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Less than a month until Christmas. Good thing I got my shopping (mostly) done on Black Friday. It was worth staying up all night and was much more fun than those pesky exams that force college kids into caffeinated disasters around this time.</span></div>
