Final Week
I am in my final week of employment this week. :( I finish up my job at the CP Center on Friday the 7th and the last Bullfrogs game is on the 8th. Following that I will be going to camp for a week but entirely unemployed beyond that! Please, please, please keep me in your prayers and thoughts as I embark on this scary adventure of unemployment.
Weekend in PA
While I don't have a ton of pictures to share, I still had an absolute blast in PA this weekend to celebrate Chele's birthday! During the day on Friday we went to a state park and played with Michele's new dog Sadie while getting chewed up by a bunch of mosquitoes. Sadie loved playing on the dam and sliding down slowly but refused to actually take a swim.
In the evening Michele had a Spiderman picnic/party with a bunch of family and friends. It was great to finally meet all the people I hear her talk about so often.
Saturday we went out to Hershey park to watch Abi help out with an Aqua Theatre show, play in the park, and visit Chocolate World. I didn't want to bring my camera in because I didn't want to deal with it while going on roller coasters. Check out the Hershey Park website to see all the amazing rides we got to go on. Definitely beats Six Flags in Gurnee.
Today was church, sending Chele off to camp, and a drive back into the city to catch my flight. Things were a bit delayed but it was worth it to come back into the 920. Mom and Dad thought they needed to give me just as warm of a welcome though. It worked! :)

Warm Welcome
I have arrived safely in Pennsylvania and was super glad to get here! From the time the flight attendant told us to prepare for landing I had a ridiculous grin on my face and couldn't hold back the excitement. I was greeted with this...
Should be a super fun weekend! Picnic tonight for Michele (that's why I'm here, roomie from Grace) birthday, going out on the town to celebrate, and to Hershey Park tomorrow to see Abi and have some fun! YAY for mid-summer vacations!!

Weekend with the Monty Crew
This past weekend I took care of my cousins' four little monkeys. We had a blast going to the park, driving around town (don't take directions from a 6 year old), building forts, and just plain hanging out. It was a bit exhausting waking up every morning before 6 but it was worth it. I sure do love those kids and can't wait for my week with them in January!!! Enjoy a few pictures of our fun before bath time.
Joshua Thomas
After a long wait Joshua Thomas Janus has been born! He came into the world at 5:19 pm on Saturday June 20th, 2009. Please take a minute to watch the video and catch a glimpse of the cutie!
Bellin Run
This past Saturday I walked my first 10K in 10 years! I ran this same event ten years ago when our elementary school did it as a group. Back then I pulled off a 1:18 and some odd seconds...this year didn't turn out as well but I had just as much fun. 1:37:32 was my final time and since I was hoping for 1:45, I'd say I did alright. Maybe I need to set a goal to RUN next year....or not! We'll see.
New View
I'm sure you've all noticed the new look and all the thanks and love go to my cousin Trish for making it the best! It comes along with a new name too, since I'm not in college anymore didn't make sense to keep the title. No worries, same web address though!
It's probably a good time to update everyone on what's going on in life too! I'm currently working at the CP center for the summer again. I did that for three summers prior to my internship summer. I would with high school age students with needs. They are a blast and I'm pumped to be back. Also, I am working with the college-age baseball team here in GB. The Green Bay Bullfrogs play at the ballpark right outside of my high school. Close to home and at a ballpark, couldn't ask for more!
That's all the updating there is for now. Still looking for a full-time job to start after this summer so if you have any leads for something relatively close to home and working with 10-24 year olds (preferably the upper half) please let me know. Thanks for stopping in!
And thanks again Trish...looks great!!
