Much Overdue Update

Sorry I haven't updated in a few weeks. I started my new job so things have been kind of crazy. I like it so far. The hours are still kinda crazy, but at least I have a set schedule. It feels really good to not have ppl asking me about flip flops in a size 10. All jobs are going to have their ups and downs, but at the end of the day I feel like I'm making a difference.

John's job is going really well for him. He has an appt next week with the man in charge of all the health centers to find out about doing the administrator in training program so he's pretty excited for that. he's been working with the philanthropy department lately trying to get ppl to donate prizes for their gala. All the proceeds go to the Benevolent Care Fund to help residents who can no long er afford to pay for their living expenses stay at the community. This week John is meeting with the former chairman for the orioles. In a few weeks he may even get to go down to DC to do some lobbying!

In two weeks we will be traveling to NY for our family reunion. We will be sure to take lots of pics. We will also be touring back to Ohio in September for Emily's baby shower and again in October for Jason's wedding. We are super excited to come back. Maryland is ok, but I feel like every time we try to adventure out we end up in the ghetto.

I need to order my dress pretty soon for the gala. I will post some pics of them below as I hate posting without some sort of pictures. Other than searching for a dress I've been reading Harry Potter nonstop. I just started on book one about 3 weeks ago and I'm already on book five. I can't wait to get to 7. I will probably re read them when I'm done because I've liked them so much. John has been reading a Mitt Romney book called "Turnaround." Well that's all we've got for now. It was a really yucky weekend here so we didn't do much but relax. Let me know what you think of the dresses!
