I got married in 2005, have taken numerous vacations with my husband and children and have a wonderful career as a school library media specialist.
I am on to a new adventure this fall because I'm moving from my beloved elementary school of five years to one of our city's high schools to take over a job left vacant when one of my colleagues retired in June. In addition to that, I am taking on the challenge of being the Head Librarian for our entire school district (19 librarians including me) which is a HUGE honor!
My oldest daughter goes to high school this fall and my younger daughter will be in 7th grade. So much is happening all the time, but I am so grateful to be experiencing it all.
Tonight my husband and I are off to see the Pousette-Dart Band at a small, intimate music hall on the Massachusetts coast. This music reminds me of college and will be a new experience for my slightly older husband who prefers opera. I am appreciative that he's up for the adventure.
Despite having gone on many summer vacations the last few years, we decided to spend this one overhauling our house. We put in a new tile floor, repainted the dining room, put in new blinds, put some new fixtures in two of our bathrooms and decluttered a bit. I was really bummed that we didn't go on a trip as we usually do when my kids are away with their dad, but the changes in our beautiful home made it worthh it.
Next year, however, I want to go away. Where do I want to go? Hmmm.... we're thinking about the Outer Banks of North Carolina, but I'd like to go on a Baltic Cruise or to Italy. ...
It's time to close this blog and open up a new one...something that celebrates the present and talks about hopes for the future....
