life happenings

Well, things are going very well and I am just plugging along in life. I went to a doctor's appointment today about my right knee. When I was 4 I had surgery so that I would be able to bend my leg. This was due to other problems that occurred when I was a baby as a result of being born very prematurely. So, when I was little I had surgery and thought it was the neatest thing to be able to do something so simple as bending your knee. Well, after the surgery I could bend my knee around 90 degrees at one point. As, I have gotten older it has gotten a little less. So, I went to see what medical advances have occurred in the 20 plus years since I was around 5. I found out that there was something the doctor could do. I am excited, but at first I was a little uncertain what to think since this will be something new. I can not imagine what it would be like to be able to sit on your knees, sit Indian style a little better and have more mobility. So, to me this will be great just to be able to be given something that I have not ever had.
The interesting thing is that the doctor I went to see knew the doctor who originally did my knee surgery when I was 4 and said he would contact him and tell him that he saw me. I learned that my doctor who originally did the surgery now lives in Utah which I did not know since I have not seen him since I was about 10 or so. So, in conclusion, we will just have to wait to see what I tell my mom after the surgery this go around. hehe.

DMA

For my junior league placement this year I am volunteering at the Dallas Museum of Art this summer. I am a summer volunteer at the new C3 area of the museum. I will be working with children and art. The past two days I have started my volunteer hours. I have to have 60 hours finished by August. I am really excited about this placement and think it will be a lot of fun.
Yesterday, I went and volunteered for 4 hours in the morning. I helped to put things together for the upcoming camps. It was fun watching the pre-school kids in the art class offered. Today, I went and volunteered for a full day. It was a lot of fun but a bit long. The camps have not started yet so I helped get more things ready for the camps that are in the next few weeks. I will have one more full day of volunteering and then I will be volunteering half days the rest of the month. I figured I should be able to finish my hours by the end of June or the beginning of July. With my volunteering in the museum I also get to get a free pass for the year to the DMA which I will defenantly be taking advantage of in the future:) So this is what I have been up to the past few days and have many more to hang out and enjoy all the museum has to offer.

job search update

I have been searching for a teaching job for a while. I am still looking but I think in the future I will have some job opportunities come my way. I am just waiting and seeing what happens and where I will end up. I am excited about this new opportunity and can not wait to see where I will end up. The hard part is the waiting. I know that all of my friends that are in the same boat as me. So to all of you out there best of luck to you as well.
