Recent Happenings

Well, I feel like I just wrote that last post, but it seems that two weeks have gone by. So, here are some of the things which have kept me so busy that I forget to post on my blog:

A baby shower for Susan Bouchard.

Time in San Diego with my dear friend Ann Pauloski, and then on to a NavWest retreat in the mountains of San Bernadino with several other dear friends, including Emily Christensen.

Returning to Arizona and celebrating Dustin's 26th birthday at the Pima County Fair (with tons of food).

And the favorite picture of the night...Not pictured here: A caramel apple, cotton candy, corn dog, and lemonade. Okay, okay, we did actually do some things other than eat, but somehow most of our pictures ended up being centered around the food. Go figure.

Moving on to a 21st birthday dinner for Megan, who is in my Bible study.

And finally, our end of the year staff dinner.

Does it seem to anyone else that my life is a series of parties and celebrations? In a way, it is. But, there's also the fact that this is the end of the year, so there are all the end of the year events to attend. And, for me, this is not just the end of the year. It's the end of the year, the end of my time on staff, and the end of my time in Tucson. So, I've got to get a whole lotta celebrating in before I leave. Thankfully, I have three more celebratory-ish events in the next four days, and a whole two weeks of celebrating in Colorado after that, so I should have enough to carry me over until I'm with these friends again. Hmmm...all of a sudden I'm feeling very overwhelmed...my introverted nature is starting to hyperventilate...must...get...alone...time.......
