learning...
okay, i haven't blogged since before we got married and we're coming up on our one year anniversary. weird.
obviously a lot has happened since then. i had a long period of random jobs before i landed a great job at ISU. i now work as an academic advisor and i love it.
currently, when i'm not helping students, i'm working on some guest lectures for developmental psych this summer, trying to stay busy with improvement projects around the office, and organizing a book club i'm trying to start this summer.
at home, i try to stay on top of cleaning (am always trying to improve things there as well), decorating, cooking (which has been way more fun now that we have new neighbors!), etc.
jensen and i adopted a cat from the ames shelter last september. he's definitely our kid. his name is baxter (although he rarely gets called that...more often it's kitty face, cat face, crazy mammal, catius maximus...oh yes, we are those kind of cat people). we adore him. he has much more of a dog personality. he waits for us at the door when we get home. we always stretch his arms so now he just puts them up in the air when we get home. he never meows, just makes a brrrr noise when he wants something. he plays fetch and strategically leaves his toys in places where he knows we are often (in hopes that we'll be inspired to play with him). anyway, he's the best.
jensen's crazy busy schedule has continued. between school, ROTC, and national guard, it's rare he has a free moment. i'm pretty excited that summer is here and things will slow down a little bit. he still has to take classes and go away for military training, but trust me, it's still way better.
i've tried to keep myself busy with bible studies and lifegroup, plus my newest athletic endeavors: running and water aerobics :) i'll blog about running soon. i seem to be learning a lot of lessons there. anyone game for a 5k? we're going to be trying another one in june.
anyway, i'm going to try and re-enter the blogging world. maybe they won't all be deep and meaningful, but at least it'll give you something to read when you're taking a break at work... :)
