Big Update

Sorry for the lack of posting; I've been busy with school and work and getting this squared away in Pittsburgh again.
1. I've started subbing at the Shaler district, the place where I was subbing as an aide before. The teaching pays more money, though the work isn't as interesting because I'm not chasing around younger kids all day. High schoolers are so interesting, especially what they talk about. I don't remember hearing stories about parties, drugs, pregnancies and kids getting kicked out of prom because they brought some coke to the dance (not the lovely carbonated beverage...)
2. Things are getting pretty invovled with the Winter Party decorating committee. It's becoming a little frustrating, but I'm glad to be doing something active, like committe work, to occupy my time.
3. Matthew and I took a trip to Harrisburg and Hershey, PA over the MLK weekend! It was a blast and super fun to have a mini-vacation
4. My cousin Meg and her husband Mike had their third child on Tuesday! Welcome George Sullivan Hatton! You are entering into a huge family that is full to the seams with love for new babies. My other cousin Mike and his wife Jess are expecting twins this spring as well! Hooray for more babies!!
5. Jessi and I spent this most recent Saturday having a Girl's Day In. We made pancakes (and grits, yum!), watched her wedding DVD (which I loved!) and baked some delicious chocolate chip cookies from scratch. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday (not to mention the Friday night of staying up late with popcorn, beers, girltalk and "Sex and the City"). It reminded me of being in college and how much I loved my roommates and how much I do miss them. I loved waking up on Saturday, making breakfast (or lunch) and chatting about our Friday nights or what was planned for that Saturday. It's different living with Matthew, not bad, just different.
6. Kohl's has scaled back our hours so I'm lucky to work twice during the week. Thankfully, substitute teaching has been plentiful so I haven't had to worry too much. Thankfully, all the bills are still being paid.
7. I bought a book called Nightlight which is a parody of Twilight written by some snarks at Harvard. It is HILARIOUS! Matthew and I were laughing really hard last night when we read the first chapter out loud.
8. Trying to eat healthy and exercise more so that I can be healthy and have more energy; going to bed earlier will also probably help that. 5:30 is very early to get up to get ready for teaching each day.
9. Happy (almost) birthday Jessi! I'm so glad we've become such good friends! I don't know what I'd do without you:) Loves!
10. An even ten points always looks good on an update, though I don't have another bullet point...lol
