Blast From the Past

Alright, so we just got home from the wedding reception, which overall was a good experience. I’m glad I went, and here are a few highlights from the evening…

We walk in and who do I immediately come face-to-face with, but my ex-boyfriend, scratch that first serious boyfriend ever. Ummm…super awkward. I think our entire interaction went something like this -

me – “hi”

him – “hi”

me – “how are you?”

him – “Good”

So you know overall, the way you want every conversation with an ex-boyfriend to go. Well, at least I looked hot while having said conversation! :0)

Michelle came, and brought the kids. Kelsey and I spent the majority of the evening dancing together, which was a blast. But also a little awkward because she kept on picking places to dance in front of the mentioned ex-boyfriend and another high school friend, who sorta always had a crush on me. I just smiled, ignored them, and we bopped around the dance floor.

(Although, it did occur to me that some of those people I haven’t seen in years may have thought Kelsey was mine…oh well!)

At the end of the evening, I went to say hello to a few of the people I was fairly close with in high school but haven’t really kept in contact with since. And it was good, it was nice to say hi despite the initial awkwardness of it. Interestingly, most of us are all living here in town. Small world.

During that time, the bride, my high school best friend, came over to catch up. It was really good to talk to her and catch up. We haven’t really talked aside from Facebook and there were some not so friendly exchanges that took place. But whatever animosity there had been was totally-gone tonight. It was just nice to be there for an old friend, and hear that life is going well for her and wish her congratulations.

So, I guess that’s that. Now, I’m off to go find a little late-night snack!

Back Here

It’s been a long stretch of a weekend, that seemed to roll over into today.

Last Thursday I started house sitting in Roy again. Back to the horses and the chickens and the dogs (only three puppies this time). It was nice to be back in the countryside, minus the ginormous bruise I got on the back of my leg when a pasture gate hit me. 

On Saturday, I had the day off from house sitting and I got together with two of my most favorite women. We met up at the beach and enjoyed some quality time together. So refreshing, although Saturday was a very late night and I haven’t fully recovered yet.

Sunday, was back to Roy and a total blur between the sleep deprivation and well the sleep deprivation…

And then today, I packed up from Roy and made my way back home. Tonight was supposed to be an excursion to the drive in with the Young Life kids. But because we weren’t able to get many confirmations on who could actually come the other leader and I had to come up with a back up plan, so instead we had movie night and ice cream at home. With only one of my girls. Just the three of us. It was a fun evening. Before heading back to watch the movie, the other leader and I grabbed dinner then ran over to Fred Meyer to get ice cream and a movie, which at his suggestion we saw “The Last Song.” :0) I enjoyed it.

But, anyway…I’m back here still hoping to get called for an interview before school starts Sept. 8. And boy is it coming fast. All is well, minus my state of sleep deprivation. More to come later, for now good night!

Where Have I Been?

I’ve totally neglected blogging world, but teaching and being a first year teacher has consumed my life. I’ll be back I promise! So, that’ s all for now, more to come!
