Woo-hoo!

Well............

I am officially going to be a live-in nanny for a wonderful, successful family in McLean, Virginia. This has been in the works for a few weeks now, but I was officially offered the position a few days ago! I'm anxious for a new experience filled with lots of traveling, opportunities, connections, and the chance to live in a beautiful state!

In the meantime, I will be applying for teaching jobs, looking into the schools in Virginia, and hopefully tutoring or volunteering while the children are at school. 

I'm a tad nervous, but excited at the same time. 

The packing begins......now!

Afternoon,

I've been missing from my blogger for a bit. I've been traveling and trying to plant my feet firmly on the ground! My life has been great, busy, and a little scary. I'm jumping off the deep end and being fearless and it's frightening, yet exhilarating! 

This morning I finished the book 'Tuesdays with Morrie' by Mitch Albom. I started this book in an airport and I haven't been able to put it down since. I recommend this book to everyone. The book puts life into perspective and makes you think about how you're living your life and what you can do to make the most of the time you have here. Now, the book sits on my book shelf with all of my other book treasures :)

I've been reunited with this little bugger for the past few days. He's growing so quickly!

(This whole nose picking habit is driving me nuts! Haha)

I will post again once my future post-grad plans become a tad more stable ;) There might be a few surprises in the works!!

Adventure

I'm crossing my fingers the universe allows me to embark on this possible, exciting, awesome, adventure.

Details soon! :)

Christmas Time! :)

Good lord, I've been so busy! I love it! From meeting the boy's family, to baking adventures, to mall craziness, to family time.....I'm exhausted! The adventures are not close to stopping though and that's okay :) 

Here is a photo recap of some fun times during this crazy week!

I've been surrounded by lovely individuals :)

Three applications to Virginia....a few more to New York....and hopefully a visit to both at the end of January! I would love traveling buddies!

I hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas! My thoughts were with the families in Connecticut.
