New things

I live in a new (and old) city. I have a new job. I'm meeting new people at church, in the neighborhood, and at work. I have a new dress code. There's a new style to my hair: frizz. There's a new Wegman's far from my new house, but not so far I can't make up reasons to go there. I'm giving my blog a new design. So many new things...

And thus far, these new changes have been pretty good. I think I'm going to like my new job (I'm a curriculum developer for a language company that does contract work for clients such as the US military or State Department. Basically, I'm writing textbooks for Dari and Pashto- both spoken in Afghanistan- with the assistance of people who actually speak those languages). My apartment is still kind of ghetto, but we'll only be in this place for another month and a half. Things are looking up for now.

I still miss all of you I left behind. But it's good to be doing something new.

I'm so glad you are liking these new things! AND I'm so excited about your job! I have been meaning to email you back, but in the meantime I wanted to say that it seems perfect for you and they are lucky to have you :)

I love your job! It is so perfect! And you are in the honeymoon stage for everything! Enjoy it!

New beginnings are awesome!

ps I have "sort of" officially hired at Mesa Community College... that means I need to go fill out paperwork. And they pay better per credit hour than UVU. Shocker!
