Wow… It’s been awhile.

Well I got so busy with work that I really wasn’t paying attention to my knitting or this blog.  :[   Well there have been some changes since I last wrote.  First of all, I don’t work at the Campus Center anymore.  I had applied for Teach for America at the same time but didn’t [...]

Employment!

Woohoo!  I officially have a job!  I am the new Operations Coordinator at the Campus Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.  Wow, that’s a long title.  Basically I run the Meeting and Events Services office, so I make sure that events are planned and executed properly.  Although really right now I don’t have [...]

Wow… its been awhile

Sorry I have been slacking on blogging lately.  I have actually been knitting like crazy though (one of the few good side effects of still not having a job), I just can’t post pictures for most of my projects because they are Christmas presents.  Two of them are on their way to my DH in [...]

Summer Wrap Up . . .. . and Gone.

The last month has been busy.  I finished two pairs of booties for my niece and I will be bringing them to her in less than a week, which I am incredibly excited for.  I also finished one of my Christmas present knit projects, but I can’t share it here so that the recipient doesn’t [...]

Scuba!

We went scuba diving last weekend.  It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.  I was a bit nervous when we got to the dive shop but then I got even more nervous when I found out that we could die from lung over expansion injury.  I forget to breathe at first when [...]

First Socks Finally

I finally finished those socks I started six months ago the other day.  I must say, it was incredibly satisfying to get over second sock syndrome and get those done.  They aren’t my favorite, they are pretty boring, but I think I did a good job and I’m proud of them.  Now I am so [...]

New life… new kitty!

Well so its been a few weeks now, and we’re starting to get settled.  The apartment is still a bit of a mess, but its more like we live here now, although we still don’t have a dining room table.  I always forget how much moving sucks until I have to do it again.  It’s [...]

Days 2-5

First of all, I’m sorry for not posting pictures and updates sooner.  The internet at our hotel is basically non-existent, so we are currently at a Starbucks paying for internet and waiting for our appointment to look at an apartment.  The last few days have been a bit of a whirlwind.  We haven’t exactly been [...]

Aloha

Well we have arrived in Hawaii.  It was overwhelming right off the bat.  After a super fun car ride/drive to St. Louis, we travelled on three differenet planes to arrive in Honolulu at 5:30am.  It was probably the most exhausting trip ever.  One of the other lieutenants in A’s troop whose name is David met [...]

I’m an Aunt!

It’s official!  My sister’s baby arrived early this morning (2:33 am CST) and its a girl.  Her name is Madeline Marie, which is super cute.  I am literally thrilled, because she wasn’t due until after I leave for Hawaii (Monday…. holy crap!) and since she came early, I get to go see her before I [...]
