what i have learned...
...in my first week as a nanny.
1. six year olds will always beat you at the memory game. always.
2. getting paid to jump on the trampoline, play board games, watch 'high school musical', and read stories is quite a good deal.
3. my girls are much better company than the average customer at some kind of store.
4. 3rd grade homework is blissful. kindergarten homework is even better.
5. spaghetti-o's are a gift to mankind.
6. always check homework.
7. the ability to contort one's body into inhuman shapes is helpful when playing hide and seek.

Blog Ignorer
That's what I am. A blog ignorer.
But it's really good. Because it means I have had other things to do and I have been having fun doing them.
I live with cool roommates. Three girls and two guys and Gabe, currently the first place dog in the contest!! (Keep up the votes until September 10th!)
I got a job that I am starting on Monday as a nanny for two little girls. It's definitely a blessing and a provision. Plus I get nights and weekends off - WHEN HAVE I EVER HAD A JOB LIKE THAT, YOU GUYS?
Zoe's is a coffee shop we are helping get off the ground and running in the next few weeks. (It looks so good inside).
It's almost fall. And that is never a bad thing.
I am making some new friends and reconnecting with the old ones.
My parents live close enough that I can make a weekend visit if I want.
A lot of people wrinkle their nose and scratch their heads when I tell them that I moved BACK here. And sometimes I wonder the same thing. But mostly this place holds a special place in my life. I like the simplicity of this life. I like the down to earth nature of this place. I like that not every luxury is available and at my finger tips. I like being a part of bringing new life back to an old place, and I like the people I am working alongside. Lately, when I am asked how I feel about Jesus right now, I just say 'thankful' and 'blessed'. Because both are so true.

VOTE FOR GABE!
I am sorry that you have to make a stinking account to be able to vote, but I would really appreciate it if you have the time! Everyone is allowed one vote per day, so I think we could easily win if we got a crew of people to pull for Gabe. We could win free training classes and some food/treats!

Rotten Apple...AGAIN
For the second time in its short two-year lifespan, my computer ate it. As in, won't turn on and probably will be completely wiped clean by Apple, ate it. Last time, it was a fried logic board. This incident was eerily similar in nature, so maybe I'm dealing with the same thing again. I am still quite the fan of Apple, but really? Twice in two years? Does anyone else have such luck? (Or should I say lack thereof...)
I will survive. I can deal with not checking my email from my bed, or watching a movie as I go to sleep. I'll get over not being able to edit pictures for a while. But you guys. MY RESUME IS ON THAT COMPUTER. And I need a job. EORTIJLFGJDSLJKFSLDJFKSALDFJKAS
Sometimes, all we can do is suck it up and wait. I have a roof over my head, friends to live and laugh with, and the world's greatest dog. I think that all makes a computer seem a little less important.
