Well, It's been a while.. lo siento (I'm sorry). My mind can only get so creative, and tonight's obviously one of those nights (also quite possibly, boredom). I'm starting this off with a poem I just came across... I couldn't wait to share it!!
I
you
us
them
those people
wouldn’t it be lovely
if one could
live
in a constant state
of we?
some of the most
commonplace
words
can be some of the biggest
dividers
they
what if there was
no they?
what if there
was only
us?
if words could be seen
as they floated out
of our mouths
would we feel no
shame
as they passed beyond
our lips?
if we were to string
our words
on a communal clothesline
would we feel proud
as our thoughts
flapped in the
breeze?
-Marilyn Maciel, "Clothesline"
(This is a ridiculously inspiring poem, to me at least, and I hoped to spread the love)
Big changes in the month of July, I'm starting a new job! I've been with the FedEx company for about two and half years now and have recently been hired into our newly located Risk Management department. I'm excited, nervous, anxious, and super sad to be leaving CIL. The people I've met have become my family, they've seen me at my worst and at my best, but I couldn't be more thankful to have known each and every one of them. The bright side (of course!), is I'm LITERALLY about 15 steps away from CIL, so I'm sure I'll still peek my head in from time to time =]
Since I've last "blogged", I've been a pretty busy lady. I was lucky enough to attend Blake's cousin's wedding in Philly (CONGRATS to Mr. and Mrs. Don Shappelle). These are two WONDERFUL people and I'm so thankful to know them... not to mention they are so UTTERLY in LOVE. Can't you tell?!
I (along with Blake's cousin Sophie) was also lucky enough to babysit the best man of the wedding, Sydney, the bearded dragon. You all have NO idea how lovable and laid back this guy is. I can't WAIT till Syd and his special lady reproduce, so I can have one of my own!
Speaking of, here were my two favorite men that day!
Other awesome things happened as well, I turned the big 2-5 (but I don't feel a day over 16 physically, but mentally, I'm so glad I'm getting older because let's face it, with age comes wisdom, and I wouldn't trade what I know now for anything!)
Blake and I went camping with the family and had an awesomely relaxed weekend where I finally was able to see Fallingwater, which was super awesome (even though that mean ol' lady wouldn't let us inside.. it's totally our fault for only having 'Grounds' tickets, hehe)
AND I was able to spend an evening with a few of my BEST girlfriends (Jamie, Chrissy, Gina, and myself - Jocelyn and Ashley somehow missed the picture) Good times with great people make me one happy lady! =]
Well folks... until next time... I'm sending all my hugs and love via social networking! =]
