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.

Memorial Day weekend

This past weekend was a lot of fun. Saturday I went to a friends wedding in Oklahoma City. The The drive up was long my dad decided that we had to go up to the lake house first and check on the progress of the new lake house. Then we headed up to Oklahoma City and got there around 5 for the 7 pm wedding. The church was really pretty and the bride looked beautiful. The wedding itself was pretty and the bride had many attendants. The reception was a lot of fun. I hung out with D and A and T. Also, I just talked to all of my friends who were there. I feel like all of Dallas transported themselves up to OKC for the weekend and it was almost like we had not left Dallas except for the drive up and back was a little long. The brides and grooms cake were both very good. I stayed at the wedding until midnight and saw the bride and groom off. Then my parents and I went back to the hotel where I went to the bar and hung out for about half an hour and then headed up for bed cause I was so tired.
Sunday we went down to have brunch with all the Dallas people before we left to go back home. When I went back to get my bags to go to the car I ran into my doctor which was so random. I could not remember how I knew her at first but then my she talked to my mom as I was waiting for an elevator and we figured out who she was. It was pretty random and very out of context. Then we headed back to Dallas.
When I got back to Dallas I called B who got back from Austin and we hung out. He had been out of town for about a week so we had not seen each other in a while, so we hung out. Then Monday B and I headed over to D's house for a memorial day party. It was a lot of fun to see her again and other friends. We stayed till about five and then headed over to B's place and watched some tv. So, all and all it was a great weekend and I look forward to a great week.

mobile blog

so I have finally figgured out how to blog from my iphne. I think this is a cool discovery thanks to my friend t who told me about this about a month back. So now that I have seen how this technology works it is pretty cool. I always knew that you can do everything with the new iPhone and now I see you really can.
This weekend I will be heading up to oklahoma city for a friends wedding. Honestly I am very excited about going up there just to get out of Dallas for a short while. I will blog all about this wedding when I get back. In other news I had a job interview earlier this week at a great school and am just in the waiting phase right now. I am just hoping to hear something but feel the interview went well. I guess that is all for now.
