Well another recruiting year has come and gone…once again.  A year of hard work has once again paid off.  We ended up on target with our year end goals…which always makes me smile.  What makes me smile even more…is watching all of those new faces walking around campus…experiencing Greenville College for the first time.  It always makes me think back to my college years…and how great and formative they were.  Just a great reminder of why I love my job.   Speaking of jobs…Jared got a new one.  He was offered  another job on campus with IT…and we’re super pumped!  (It’s a job he’s always wanted…and he’ll be working with lots of friends.)  It took awhile to make the decision for him to switch departments, but this new job was obviously the way to go.  So in 2 weeks…Jared will get to settle into his new digs.   In other news…we’re slowly but surely getting closer to finishing up our basement redo.  The patching is nearly done, and we also started painting down there this week.  Fingers crossed that in the next couple weeks we can put it back together and enjoy the extra space once again!  (In the meantime…if you like to paint…let us know!)   With that…I better get back to my homework.  I have plenty to finish up tonight before we have company over tomorrow.  More updates later…I’m sure!Â

So yesterday I went outside to work in the garden. Â I dug the rest of our potatoes and onions yesterday….and picked more tomatoes and peppers. Â I weeded a bit…and still have quite a bit more to weed. Â At some point I decided I would get out the trimmer (as Jared was mowing) and start working on the weeds. Â So I got most of the yard done…and stupid me decided to trim right next to the garden. Â Right next to the cute white wire fencing I have around the garden. Â Needless to say, I have about 2 feet less fencing now…whoops! Â It was so silly…I’m really good at mowing and trimming…so who knows what happened there. Â Oh well…at least the yard looks good now!

So in one week NSO (New student orientation) will be here…the day my office works towards year after year. It’s been a long summer (which oddly enough has gone CRAZY fast)…and I’m so excited to see this day finally come. I can’t wait to see/meet all of my new students. Along with that comes the beginning of another work year…and I’m always excited to think about the other students I’ll soon start to work with. Amongst all of that, I’m not also half-way done with grad. school. With any luck, I’ll finish up this spring (Holla!).Â
This weekend I’m working to get the house tidied up again…but seem to keep getting stuck on the couch wathing the Olympics. I try to wash a few dishes or tidy up a room during commercial breaks! (The business of work lately has wreaked havoc on the tidiness of my house…and it drives me crazy!) That’s about it!

Ok…so I realized today (or maybe a few weeks ago) that I haven’t blogged in quite some time.  This is pretty much all due to the fact that school starts soon and I’m crazy busy at work.  My workload got doubled back in May, so I don’t have as much time to kill and by the time I get home I just want to sit and stare into space.  However…I’m back…and promise to be better about posting the going-ons of my life.  Here’s a few quick recaps on other cool things we’ve done over the past month or so. -Saw the Foo-Fighters (awwwwesome!!!)-Saw the Toadies (a great blast from the past…made me want to relive the 90’s)-Went to Iowa for a family reunion (amazing to hang out with family…didn’t want to leave)-Helped a friend move (my arms are now buff)-Got some insane allergies (that FINALLY cleared up)-Saved a cat from a life on the streets (no…we didn’t keep it)-Saw Mama Mia (and am now, once again, addicted to ABBA) That’s about it…more to come later!Â
