wow. it’s been so long since i’ve had time to actually sit down and write a post, i couldn’t possibly sum up everything that’s happened. the ’short’ version goes something like this: since our safari in uganda, i have…
1. gone whitewater rafting and bungee jumping on the nile river
2. flown for 17 hours nonstop from dubai to new york
3. spent a week roaming aimlessly around new york city
4. seen 4 different shows on broadway
5. been to a mlb game at shea stadium and another at yankee stadium
6. come home early to attend the funeral of one of the girls from one of the teams i coached last year
7. driven from starkville to houston (texas, not mississippi) to apartment hunt for 3 days before being in one of my best friends’ wedding
8. flown BACK to ms
9. loaded all of my possessions into a moving truck
10. driven BACK to tx in a moving truck (with my dad and brother…all piled into the cab of the moving truck that only had 2 captain’s chairs…more on that later)
11. unloaded everything into my apartment in houston
12. watched the astros at minute maid park
13. driven back to ms to spend a week or so seeing family and friends
14. driven BACK to houston AGAIN
15. and attended a week and a half’s worth of new teacher orientation/staff development (of which tomorrow is the last installment…woo hoo!).
like i said, that is the ’short’ version, but maybe it shines a little light on why i haven’t posted in a while. i’ll do my best to get a more in-depth description of everything asap. ’til then…
