My friend Pam (aka "awesome-and-sexy-Pam") reminds me that I haven't actually updated about my job or life in general. I'm taking a short break after a wonderfully successful (and lengthy) interview, so I will take a needed 5 minute break to update my friends (or those who read this, anyway).
My job is Director of Special Projects at the Texas League of Conservation Voters Educational Fund. It is a nonprofit, and I do have to say most of the name when I answer the phone. I'm currently working on the Telenovela Project (the name is currently fluid), a project to create a media mechanism to convince unregistered but eligible Latino voters of Texas to vote and to consider enviromental issues when voting. The project is going very well, though we are still in our initial stages. I'm also just starting to work on a new project involving environmental clubs in Travis county public schools.My boss is awesome, which is good because we work back to back in a tiny office.
In general, things are going really well. Matt and I are almost completely settled in, though we had a huge cleaning Sunday in preparation for our first game night (which went very well! I made a friend on the bus and she and her boyfriend came over and we had a blast.) and now the house looks alienly clean. It's a little creepy, after being used to the cozy mess we had been in. On the other hand, a big part of that was that we weren't completely unpacked, so I'm sure once we're used to it it'll be a good thing.
att is working at the University of Texas' English Department, and is doing very well there. He wrote about it in his blog. We've both been pretty tired after getting home each day, but we're gradually getting used to the working week.
Thank you, Pam, for reminding me to update, and I also just want to say that I do miss all of my friends, and I hope you're doing really well.Please call me whenever, though today I misplaced my phone so it may take me a while to get back to you but I'd always love to hear from you.
On a final note, I don't think it's a secret anymore that Mat and I are engaged (although it is still kinda secret! Just not particularly well kept. It's for real public facebook level around Christmastime) and so we've started reading wedding magazines and thinking about other preparations.
So...yia! Hopefully not too many people found out this way, but I guess it's slightly more personal than facebook. We're very excited.
And with that...back to work! :)
