We have three days until we hit the road for Vegas, and I wanted to freshen things up here on the ol’ blog. I found us a decent new theme to use, for free, so that’s nice. Hopefully we will get back to posting. We need to, though I doubt we still have any consistent readers left. If we do, I apologize for not knowing you were here. If you could, please leave a comment so we know you are here.
Anyways, enjoy the next three days, and hopefully a ton of posts direct from Sin City! Wooh!
Well, it’s July 2 and that means that in about 29 days Wylie and I will be leaving Texas…there are some mixed reactions in the house about that. Olive is just excited to go for a ride in the car…
The great news is that we have a destination! It was pretty stressful with both of us looking for work and a slight sense of panic was creeping up through the floorboards, but I accepted a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Nevada Las Vegas counseling center and we are off! Should be a pretty great place to spend a year, so get ready for more updates and adventures…at least for the first few months!
This week we started the goodbye festivities at the SCS in order to have enough time to say goodbye to everyone…you can imagine with 30 therapist-types what happens. It really was sad though…and then thinking about being actually graduated on top of it! Whew! I literally won’t know what to do with myself…
Well, have a happy and safe 4th of July!
This past weekend we went to Austin for about 36 hours. We stayed with a friend and explored all over the place. We ate at a great restaurant on Friday, had some odd shaved ice, and saw thousands of bats fly out from under a bridge. Saturday Teresa had a conference to go to, so me and my friend Robie hung out with our dogs. We went to the dog park in the morning, the farmers market around noon, and swimming in the afternoon. Olive is still not a fan of swimming, but she will learn to love it. I think she may need a doggie PFD. I think that will help her feel more confident when in the water, or at least I hope so. Saturday evening we went to see the Master Pancake Theater. It’s a live Mystery Science Theater 3000. It was pretty darn funny. After that we walked around downtown just a little and bumped into the Pride Parade. So we watched that for a short while before getting too hot and realizing that we should drive home before it got too late. It was a jam packed 36 hours, but we had a great time. I like Austin, just not the heat.
Now it is June and we are in the home stretch. Our lease here ends on July 31 and we will not be renewing it. This means to me that we will need to start hoarding boxes, start thinking about moving trucks, and start thinking about the transition to a new place. I think that both of us are equally looking to get on with it and have some of these things planned and ready to go.
In the meantime we need to keep working, and sending out resumes. We also need to keep having fun. With all that has been happening and the stress that comes with it, we need fun now more than ever.
This is just a cute picture of Olive. Enjoy.
