I’m about to pop this card in the mail tomorrow for a friend’s birthday. I’m usually happy with the cards I make, but sometimes I just think they turn out so cute!

Getting to the point where I am sitting with a student teaching has taken a very long time. I applied for my job in mid December, did supplemental paperwork and 2 interviews in January, accepted in early February, and went to a week long training in mid February. After the training I could have started […]

I have made a Twitter account. I think I may ultimately end up posting my Twitter update feed here on the side of my blog, but for now feel free to follow me as I babble about mundane details like running, exercise, meals, work, and everything else not completely worthy of a blog entry 🙂 […]

I have lots of new readers from one of my favorite blogs, Run for Cookies, so I want to say welcome! Since this blog is about my expat life and weight loss, I try to balance the two, but I haven’t talked too much about my weight loss recently since I’ve been so busy traveling. […]

I posted some snippets from my trip to Kona with Dan’s family, but I thought I’d share some of the fun things we did! Celebrated Dan’s 30th bday! His mom gave him a GoPro camera! We went to a farmers market in Kona where I got a giant, delicious avocado, and Dan got me a […]

Oy! I just went for my first run back from vacation! I ran about a mile before I gave up. A mere 2 weeks ago I was running 6, 7 miles like it was no big deal! I suppose there has been about a one week break from my last run. My body wanted to […]

My trip is flying by too quick! It’s Wednesday night, and we’re getting so much snow! It’s crazy. I’ve been so busy it’s unreal. Every morning I run errand with my mom to prep for my sister’s baby shower. Then we work on some projects at home. So far we have a diaper cake and […]

Wednesday morning is finally here, and it’s a glad and sad day. A sad day because I’m leaving Hawaii, and I won’t see Dan for 2 weeks. But a glad day because I’m headed to the Pacific Northwest to see friends and family! Dan’s cousin and her fiance left Monday, and his parents and aunt […]
