We went down to Springs this weekend for the Starlight Spectacular, a bike ride through Garden of the Gods that goes from midnight to 4am. It was great fun, and although I made it, I realized I really need to get fit again. There was an old Schwinn stationary bike on craigslist for $45, and I got it.

Other than that, work is going well. I got my CDL permit, and have been learning to drive the bus. It's not as bad as I expected. I still really like the residents, and the people I work with. I'm working at least 30 hours each week, which is good to save up for school. Speaking of which, I emailed UNC to inquire about the status of my application, and the Early Childhood SPED coordinator emailed me back and said I had been accepted. I contacted the licensure officer, and I'm signed up for all the right teacher prep courses. So, exciting.

I want to work with kids who might not have the same opportunities as their counterparts. I'm taking Spanish in the fall, and am going to seek out a student teaching position in a school that would provide that experience. I've been thinking a lot about adoption too lately, and I like the idea of having one baby, and adopting another, either through foster care or otherwise. Like I said, we're not planning on kids for awhile, but it's something to think about.

Dre and I have almost been married one year! We're thinking of taking a trip down to Texas for our one year anniversary; we have some airline vouchers we got as a wedding gift, and we might be able to arrange a condo by a beach. We'll also see his family, which will be cool. I just need to arrange time off work, we'll see.
