Hello old friend!

Well it is not that I don't think about you...I think about you every week. I think wow I really should post something to that blog about Kevan and I's life. I should not be so hypocritical by holding a blog name and not using it! [Please see an early rant]

My last post was November 2010, but you can see that. A lot has happened since November 2010. Kevan and I have moved out of my grandparents house to an apartment in Kenosha and we have since moved from Kenosha to UW-Whitewater. You may have guessed (or really know, because let be honest the only people reading this are our friends and family) - yup we are back on campus. Kevan is a Hall Director at UW-Whitewater and doing very well I may say!

Unfortunately, we have opposite problem that we had in Nebraska. Instead of seeing each other 24/7, I now spend 2 nights a week in Milwaukee (ironically at my grandparents house). I work at Cardinal Stritch University in the College of Business at the Brookfield location. I work swing shift 2 days a week. I commute an hour, so rather than driving at night - I save time and gas money by staying at my grandparents. You might be thinking that is crazy, but because I don't actually live there it is nice. Like a little visit twice a week - I am grateful for the opportunity for many reasons.

2011 was great - Kevan was offered a position at my Alma Mater - UW Parkside Residence Life and I was given the opportunity to do some work in the Advising and Career Center and with Continuing Education. In May I was offered the position at Strich. About the same time Kevan applied for the Hall Director position at UW-Whitewater and by July 30 we had moved back on campus. See a few things that kept us busy in 2011...

2012 has been great so far - Ryan McFadden's wedding and a visit with the Varvel's and new baby Quinn; Florida visit with Furru family, gators, Mickey and armadillos; HUNGER GAMES and Mad Men. Still to come BREWERS baseball and a lot of it; Road Trip to New York for a Mazariegos' wedding, Naigra Falls, Cleveland Indians, Rock'n'Roll, Lola and a visit with Dad and family; and we will see what happens next!
