Turkey Break (part 1)!

I'm finally back in NorCal for some wonderful R&R.  Spent the first few days in SF with the boy, and then tonight we're heading home for thanksgiving (and he's going to meet my parents!).

Yesterday we did a little exploring.  It was fun, but apparently the boy has been afflicted with a terrible disease.  It's called dumbface.  It results in his utter inability to look cute, serious, or smile in a picture.  Especially if I look good.

On the ones where we're trying to be silly, he suddenly smiles, thus ruining another cute picture. Sigh. What a little goofball.

Sometimes, I give him a mean teacher look and he behaves. Sometimes.

We have a lot of fun planned for the next few days, so stay tuned.

And, sorry I haven't updated in a while, school/ work has been craaazzyy. Now that I have a couple of days off, posting should get back to normal. Hopefully.

Sunset Stroll..

While Tyler is here, he wanted to go down to the beach, and we happened to catch a beautiful sunset last night!

I took lots of pictures, but I'll try to restrain myself to only posting a small portion here :P

Wordless Wednesday!

Sneak peak of life in Panama.. full photo set on Friday!

Happy Monday!

I'm on phone/hospital duty today (basically like being the on-call staff person for all 60 volunteers in case anything should happen), which means it's the first real free time I've had in about a month (until the phone rings..)  In my house. All by myself. With my computer and everything.

It's nice.

I also figured it might be a great opportunity to update the ol' bloggeroo and let you all in on what I've been up to the rest of the time.  So, coming this week are a ton of new posts!! Be excited!

First up, an update on community visits.  A huge part of my job this summer is preparing everything for the volunteers' arrival: from host families, to evacuation plans, to rotating meal plans, to community contacts and project ideas.  Before the supervisors got here, the other Senior Staff members and I visited a few of the communities, just making primary contact and warning them of our supervisors' and volunteers' imminent arrival.

Then, last week, as part of my duties as Senior Project Supervisor I went on a week-long survey, where I arranged more of the logistical details within communities, filled out a "profile" of each community, and stayed a night each one (since I am a member of Senior Staff, I only have 2 communities, but all of the supervisors do the same thing for 4 nights).  I also ended up having to go out to one of the other supervisor's communities, due to some trouble we were having, so really I got to go hang out in 3 different, beautiful, and welcoming communities.

If you didn't quite understand all of that, no worries, just know that it was a lot of work but also a lot of fun, and I got a few good pictures!

Because why wouldn't you play cards at a bus stop?

It was a wild adventure, and I loved every minute :)
