september

I told myself once school started, I'd have more time to blog a little...now I realize I'm almost halfway through September!

Work has definitely kicked into gear--the kids made us hit the ground running! I suppose it's a good thing to know that they know where to come seek help for all that ails them, but it sure has made for an exhausting couple of weeks. It'll be a good year though--we can all sense it.

Then my graduate classes have started up as well--and both of those are going to be a LOT of work. Luckily most of it are just small assignments and readings, but every week there is something new to work on. And one class is on Professional Leadership--so already I've learned awesome things about setting goals for myself in my career and life. Lately I have felt a little out of touch with my passions in life, so I'm excited for how this class can put me back in touch with that.

The other stuff we're dealing with right now is more health issues with our puppy...we're working on skin infection number 4. It's to a point where one vet has suggested seeing a dermatology specialist for dogs! So, our first step is just to get a second opinion as to what may actually be going on with him. He really does have a high pain tolerance, but it's pretty obvious he's not all that comfortable in his itchy skin. :(

so, that's the latest on Prospect!

one year of marriage!

yeah for us!! What a great year too...I'll do some reflection on it in another posting. But for now: we celebrated in style! We were married on Labor day--so we celebrated as such. Spending a gorgeous weekend up in Mackinac, including a night on Mackinac Island (more pictures posted on my facebook page).

today, the actual day of our anniversary, began with a 5am waffle breakfast together. :) It was about the only time we will see each other today as Jason has class and I have choir rehearsal this evening. ahh...marital bliss...loving every second of it!
