I am just starting to figure out this picture thing. Sorry for not posting any explanations of photos so far. The first one from below was taken at Bethany Beach, it includes my brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew and Brian. I also included a picture of my dog, Puck, a random friend photo, and a picture of my nephew and I at my Dad's retirement party.

Here are some more photos. My friend Paul and Puck, My friend Kristi and I on Memorial day, and some other random ones.

Welcome to my blog. This is my very first attempt so please, please, please.... be patient with me. I am currently on my summer break from my "old" job at Communities In Schools, Central Texas and I am about to start my "new" job, also with Communities In Schools. I am finding that I have inherited that darn Protestant work ethic and do not do very well on "vacation." It would be nice to be somewhere, which I was for a little while, at Bethany Beach, DE. I am also about to go to Chicago in a few days for a long weekend. However, when stuck in broiling Austin, TX with little, excuse me, no money to spend, it makes for some long drawn out days. I feel so very guilty even complaining about this as many people dream of being off from work for long amounts of time, but I have learned that I will never be one of them. Unless someone is sponsoring me to go travel. So far, no one has wanted to sponsor me.

I will begin a new position as Grants Coordinator. I am very excited, albeit, very nervous. I will keep you posted. For now, I will get back to reading all about grant writing from my lovely borrowed books from the Austin City Library.
