Writing on a Friday night...

Hellooooo!! :)

It's Friday night. And I'm in bed. Feeling a bit tired. And there's nowhere else I would like to be right now than here. In bed. Adele on my headphones. Feeling good. However, I knew that if I'd be in the U.S. we would probably be having some movie night or girls night or something to debrief about the week... ah... alas, one day in DC ;)

I can't sing along to the music I'm listening to right now... Sucks! But I just got done doing some really hard vocal exercises. They're these classical ones that are really hard to get good at and they tire out the voice so now I'm a bit raspy and not uttering a word to rest. It really is like exercising any other muscle and allotting time for recovery. But I'm really grateful. I found a really good teacher. I have so much fun practicing and going in for lessons!!

Let's see.. a few cool things I'd like to share... I'll be spending about half of March out of town for events, conferences, and trips. There is a huge education conference in London, one of the biggest in the world, and they're sending me to present a poster! Look! My name is on there! I'm so excited! I'll be in London for 3 days. I'm gonna try to explore some and take lots of pics :D!!!!

Another thing is that I was invited to go on a peace & conflict study trip in Georgia with one of one of the members of my team. Don't get too excited, not Georgia the state that is close to you... lol.. But the country. !!!!!!!!! They're figuring out the details! But if it does happen it would be so awesome!! It would be for 3 days and we would learn about all sorts of things. Ahhh! Mike is a bit concerned for the safety there but I've assured him that they wouldn't send us somewhere that is significantly dangerous. I was so excited when I was invited and I wanted to tell you for a couple days, haha.

Today, Mike and I went for lunch at this really great place by work. We ordered mac and cheese and veg chimichanga. But I loved their twist on their food. It tastes different but really good. And it's not very expensive. Great place!

Lol.. the pic in the middle is of a ferris wheel in Glasgow when I went there for a work event.

This weekend we are going to the rock climbing arena and I'll be in London for the Peace One Day event with National Union of Students and Jude Law!!!!

You're right, good things are coming.

Miss you too.. lots... :)
