Look forward to regular blog posts again! I am back to a scheduled existence in one location, so it should be much easier to fit in weekly posts now. I have been experimenting with new recipes and will be sharing some of my favorites here.
I also had a crazy summer full of traveling! In the past few months, I visited Alabama, Disney World, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, DC, Alabama, Japan, Tokyo Disney, and Hawaii. Looking at mileage alone, I more than circumnavigated the world in fewer than 80 days. This was never on my bucket list, but I am adding it now just because it's pretty fantastic. Warning: you will be super jet-lagged after a journey like this. I have a resulting two to three thousand photos to sort through; hopefully I will have some great ones to share with all of you! Look out for some exciting travel posts in the coming weeks.
And I am beginning another exciting phase of my life: I will be an AmeriCorps member for the 2014-2015 school year. I'll be helping K-3 students build their reading confidence and skills through a variety of one-on-one literacy interventions! Literacy is a cause I am extremely passionate about supporting and promoting. The ability to read is crucial for educational success, and everyone should be able to unlock the joy and opportunities that come from reading. Grad school has been on my mind lately, and I'm glad I'll have this year to interact with teachers, work with a reading specialist, and spend all day every day working on literacy interventions before I make the decision to go back to school. Also, this program comes with an education award to put towards future schooling. Anyway, you might see some posts about my AmeriCorps experience on here as well. In the meantime, I am so excited to start the school year and meet my students!
More coming soon.
Sarah
