updates

Just a few pertinent updates about my life and some questions about yours:
  • Erin - how is the pregnancy going!?!  are you SURE you don't want to find out if it's a boy or a girl?  Any baby showers planned - i would love to help out even from a distance!!!
  • Laura - how is caleb's health?  i saw on his twitter that he was going to the doctor.  just want an update.  and how is rhodesy doing?  any more talk of have another little one?  anything else really fun/interesting going on in your life - hope the garden is doing well!
  • I started weight watchers and have already lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks!  I swear guys - i dont remember the last time i weighed as less as i do now - it was probably in college, but i dont remember it.  I couldnt believe it when i weighed in this morning.  im ECSTATIC and may actually finally meet my lifelong goal of feeling comfortable in a bikini by the time we have our beach trip in september!  that's my goal!!! 
  • Chris's grandfather is not doing well - again.  Chris flew down to birmingham this morning - he is at UAB.  As you know, it's hard to tell how serious it is because of how dramatic everyone is in chris's family.  but prayers would be appreciated.
  • Chris and I are seriously considering buying this condo.  It would work out to cheaper than what we are paying in rent and the view is incredible - top floor condo in the turet on the right side of the building, with a full view of the capitol dome from the windows. if you look at the first picture, it's the one right below the black steeple roof on the right.  it's a studio apt - meaning no bedroom.  NEVER thought i'd consider living in a studio but we're just never home!  we wouldnt even have a bed - we'd just get a super comfy memory foam mattress that would fold up in the sofa which has a queen bed in it.  in the picture with the washer/dryer (its a combo), we would build cabinets all around it and that would serve as chris's closet.  It's in such a great location and i love the kitchen and the view.  so yeah check it out and let me know thoughts!  we're in the pre-approval loan process now.

So i didnt get the JHU job

Just got the phone call from the director of alumni relations.  She said they decided to go with an internal candidate, so if I was to lose out to someone, that's the way to go.  She was so complimentary though and said that everyone on the both the education and the central team was really impressed with me and how I carried myself. Central said that they were really interested in me and wanted to know if they could contact me as other positions come available, that they thought i'd be a great fit at JHU - wahoo! 

So a bit of a bummer but still good.  I have talked with Corley (current boss) and we have decided that as soon as we hire another person in the office, my responsibilities will shift from student/alumni relations to building regional clubs and class-related activities.  This will also give me a chance to branch into development, which will put me in a great place for director-level positions. 

thanks for your support throughout this roller coaster!

Working on the house

It's been busy here at the Chancey's! Caleb was in town yesterday, and just left today for the week. Next week, though, he's taking Monday off and then we head to the beach with the Sizemores! Haven't quite figured out how I'll shop for a swimsuit with Rhodes?

Here are some things we did at the house yesterday...
