Miss me yet?

Greetings bloggers and general internet community. I am back. I have had quite a vacation from my blog. Let me catch you up with what has been going on for the past year and a half/two years.

1) Taught middle school science in San Francisco, CA last year. Loved it! Want to be a teacher, but first need to get a teaching certificate.

2) Currently working at Concordia University in Portland, OR as an admission counselor. Two birds with one job. a) Great job and gaining a ton of experience. b) Will start taking classes toward my teaching certificate next spring.

3)I am engaged and will be getting married on October 11th 2008. He is amazing and I am so excited to be starting a family with him. His name is Eric Bohlmann. We met in college but didn't start dating until we both graduated. After spending a year living apart while he was on internship we decided to move to the Portland area and pursue this relationship. Six months later, the day after Valentine's Day, he proposed.
It came as a suprise...I thought he would do it later in the year perhaps around my birthday.

4) I am now in the midst of planning a wedding, working full-time, and currently packing up my apartment and moving to a small little house that I will be renting in NE Portland some friends have. Eric will join me once we get married.

I am really looking forward to the next few months. Friends are moving back to the area, work will be less stressful, finalizing wedding plans, some other friends are having babies, and things are just wonderful.

I hope to post more often now that I am a little more settled in life now. I will keep you informed as new and exciting things happen in Charbot's Life!
