I had a very satisfying weekend that was full of family. On Saturday I went home to celebrate the Triplets' 2nd Birthday with a party in their neighborhood clubhouse. It was a blast to see the kids have so much fun with their sandtoys I bought for them and be cute eating cupcakes. I love them and I'm very proud to be their auntie. :) I spent the night in Holland and went to church with my mom and Jessey, drove back to GR for lunch with my dear friend Mary, and this afternoon went to Frederick Meijer Gardens (again! I know) with my mom and Grandma. Then we went to Panera together and off to Fuller Ave. CRC to hear my brother Zach preach. I was very impressed with his message and I also got to see Jane and my other niece Julia! Like I said--lots of family. Just the way I like it. I have to take advantage of it while I can...
My orchid is still happily blooming, with a second bloom opening today. :)
I'm still feeling pretty good about where I'm at right now. I'm starting to dream again. Lately my dreaming takes me to Colorado after graduation. My mom gave me the idea, since she told me to go somewhere that a sibling already was, for her sake, since she's running out of vacation time! (More efficient this way, I suppose!) Well, right now that option is Southern California or Colorado. I started checking out teaching job options in North Central Colorado where my sister is and decided it wouldn't be so bad! I love the mountains, and it would be so great to live near my sister. Not to mention that my mom owns a condo out there that she's renting out, and could easily rent to me! :D
But unfortunately graduation doesn't come till December 2009. Seems a long ways off but at the same time just around the corner. A lot needs to happen between now and then, but it's only 20 months away! (Wow!) Speaking of a lot happening-- there is a lot that needs to happen between now and 4.5 weeks from today, when school gets out! Fortunately I only have two formal scheduled exams and a couple of take-homes. I need to get started on reading a bunch of books, that's for sure! Oh darn, I'll have to get back into Breathing Space some more tonight ;)
I meant this to be a bit more than an update on what I've been doing this weekend, but it has just been so wonderfully refreshing that I figure that's an update enough. :)

Loving all your posts, Betsy... And your reading suggestions...!
CO would be a beautiful place! I applied for jobs out there too (would have been my preference, but this was meant to be), I think it's starting to become more like MI in terms of availability though-so best of luck! We are looking forward to the family reunion out there next summer!
