What's been going on!

So... already I'm lacking in my posts! BUT it has been a really busy two weeks since my last post on April 25. I'll give a quick recap on what's been happening.

After April 25 I had a really busy week at work. I coordinated my second large event at school and it was a success! We hosted a Community Day Walk-A-Thon for our students - they raised money in advance, and the day of they had activities to build a sense of community with one another. After the day ended I took a group of kids to the Brewers game as a fundraising benefit. I left for Phoenix on Friday April 30 - when I left Milwaukee it was about 70 degrees and when I got to Phoenix it was about 75! Milwaukee has been unseasonably warm over the past month or so, but has cooled down in the last week.

In Phoenix I was really excited to do the LAST of everything... last great dinner, last hike, etc. Things didn't turn out as planned and I didn't really do anything that was my favorite. Surprisingly, that was fine with me! Ben and I ate at some new restaurants - all good - the Roosevelt for good beer and food in downtown Phoenix and Thai Elephant. We also ate at Caroline's - the best Mexican I've had yet in Arizona. We bought ourselves some cowboy boots, watched the fight at a friends, pulled A TON of weeds, caught up with great friends and I even got to lay out in the sun by a pool!!!! Short, too short, but definitely sweet.

After I left Phoenix I was really tired the entire week, and couldn't accomplish much ouside of work. I've been extremely stressed because Ben and I are trying to get out of our lease early, we're trying to plan our move across the country at the end of the month, and we're looking for a job for Ben - probably the biggest need. The Milwaukee Public School system is laying off quite a few teachers which doesn't bode well for his job search. Cross your fingers for him!!!!!

This past weekend was really a lot of fun. On Friday, my sis Aly was in town for the weekend so I took Couver to see the in-laws and Aly - so great!!! Saturday morning and afternoon was spent with my mom, sister and aunt at the spa and the evening was spent at our high school baseball fundraiser. I had a great team and we participated in a 9-pin tap tournament and I was the lowest scorer on my team - which means I won a 40-ounce and a Subway sub! I spent a relaxing day with my mom on mother's day which was the first time in years!

Up next: dogsitting the whole weekend while my parents are gone, some bridal showers and on May 27 I fly to Phx to take the final trip from Phx to Milwaukee with Ben, a Uhaul, the Ford Focus and Ben's dad!!!!!
