Sometimes it's not as good as you'd hoped.

Well, I got the job. They didn't even interview me. They pretty much just sat me down and started handing me paperwork.

Unfortunately I didn't get the hours I wanted. Or the site that I wanted. The bus is certainly going to become my best friend this year. But I guess I shouldn't complain. Work is work, and at least I get to play with kids! Good times.

Sometimes I'm too busy to post.

Ok, so I have been MIA for the past couple of weeks. But it's not my fault. After camps ended two weeks ago, I went to a wedding, cleared up some loose ends around the office and . . . well . . . went to yet another wedding.

Last Saturday, my cousin Justin got married in LA. His mom is the planning type, so much was accomplished in just six days. On our first day we received an itinerary, complete with maps and driving directions. Other than the wedding, the itinerary covered the following:

• family dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen
• the LA County Museum of Art
• the La Brea Tar Pits
• family dinner at my aunt and uncle's house in San Diego
• a visit to a retired aircraft carrier turned museum
• touring downtown San Diego
  
• two Padres' games
• boogie boarding
• the San Diego Zoo
• a fabulous comedy show

Before I left I was quite nervous, as I haven't seen much of that side of the family in a long time. But as it turns out, I have some fabulous cousins (and pseudo-cousins). I had a wonderful time!! Who knew?

Now it's back to normal life: school, work, and (hopefully) soccer. Though, strangely enough, I'm really looking forward to normal life this year. That's probably a good thing.

(Also, Lizzy gets home in just one week! Hoorah!!!!)

Sometimes It's Too Much

Another engagement.

I can't handle this anymore. . .

Will you marry me?

Sometimes It's Nice To Be Home

I went home this weekend, to enjoy a much needed three days off.

The first was filled with weddings.

The second was filled with food, family, and friends.

The third was filled with rest and relaxation.

It was definitely exactly what I needed. And above all that, I only had to share my house with two other people. Quiet, and as much time as I wanted in the bathroom. What more could I ask for? I think I'm ready for September.
