i'm done waiting...

for my real life to begin...

changes run abound. this weekend was crazy. it started for me on thursday. thursday morning i ran up to seattle to meet with bug and show her the ring. after that i drove back to the airport to pick jen up. we drove up to annacortes, through really crappy weather, and got on the ferry to go to Friday Harbor....

hmm...

the rest of the story, i think, can be discussed over beer and face to face with whomever wants to hear it. needless to say it was a picture perfect weekend and i am now on the wedding trail. jenny and i are now engaged. life is good, and i am a happy and lucky guy. i could go on and on about love and how much better things are and will be now...but, you can all see that when i see you next...it shows, and i'm such a nerd!

life is rolling along pretty fast now. i'm mostly done with school, i have an educators' job fair to attend on tuesday. a party at "Sluggers" in woodenville on wednesday. and to top it all off i need to finish my placement file and get myself in the substitute teacher rotation here in the oly area! with some luck, after the job fair i will have a teaching job set up for next fall and then i'll really be rolling. for everyone who is interested in where i'll end up, here are the places i'll check in to...

-Clark County School District(Los Vegas)
-Los Angeles Unified School District(duh)
-Seattle School District
-Tumwater School District
-Olympia School District
-Hawaii Schools
-anyone else who's looking

so, there you go. i'll try to stay local, but it might be easier to go to LA right off the bat. i don't know. i've never got a full time teaching job before. we'll see. i'll never be gone from the pac-northwest long though, rest assured of that.

well, there's a little update for you all. questions? comments? please feel free to let me know what you think. i'm happy, life actually seems to be starting. crazy shit, huh?

'till next time...

send me good thoughts on tuesday!

...a very happy and hopeful,
