Summer is coming...

I know I haven't posted in like a week, but I am still alive. It's the last week of school... finally! I'm working my students till the end and even taking grades the second to last day of school. I have tons of journals to grade, my Achille's heel in teaching.

I've been spending every other weekend with Doug in Annapolis. It almost feels like a mini vacation every other weekend. This weekend, Doug attempted to go crabbing, but it didn't work out. Maybe next time... I don't think we were in a good location for it. I didn't really do any of the work, I just sat of the dock and fell asleep with my feet in the water and took pictures of me squishing far away things with my fingers. It was nice.



We also went to this AMAZING Amish market in Annapolis. I had never been to one before and it was really neat. I'm actually interested enough that I'm going to do a little research into the Amish. We got the most amazing strawberry rhubarb and berry pies. We also bought some jam for family members. Some 8-9 year old little girls rang us up for the jam. They were really nice and very responsible for such a young age! Its actually called the "Pennsylvania Dutch Farmers Market" and its in the corner of this picture with the big lighthouse.


I miss seeing him every day, but it is starting to get a little easier, well kind of. It still sucks. We'll be living this way until his class is over in November and maybe afterwards because the commute is so bad. Right now moving is not an option with the market the way it is.


Summer is coming up and I still don't have a job. I'm looking into doing part time tutoring, but I need to find tutorees first. It's kind of nice, but I don't like my time to be wasted so I'm trying to figure out useful things to do during the summer. Possibly painting a room in my house each week or something like that. I've been working on organizing Doug's stuff in the basement and have actually gotten rid of the terrible pile.

We have our tickets to Utah. It was pricey, but we're going. We'll be there from July 3 - July 12. All we need to do now is find someone to babysit the aquarium and the cats while we are gone.
