I am shocked that November is over already. I have pictures from Thanksgiving which I will post on here as soon as I have the time. I have been doing well and work is good. A few things that have happened/are happening:
*At work we received a really awesome 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant. This is going to guarantee our continued work for the coming years. We are going to be hiring on another full time office worker to oversee the grant and our staff at some of the program sites will get increased hours.
*On Thanksgiving the MVS house hosted a feast! We had around 9 different dishes for the 13 of us who were there. I was a lot of fun - lots of work, but still a lot of fun. Four of the guests were staying at the house which really filled it up.
*Corey learned that he will be heading to London in January to work. I really don't know what exactly he will be doing, but he will be there for 6 months. I am not looking forward to being in a long distance relationship once again but I am planning on visiting him in April so that will be awesome.
*Kid Power programs are having their holiday parties next week so we are working on getting all the gifts for the kids. On Monday we have a group of volunteers coming to wrap all the gifts. Hopefully they are able to make a big dent - not sure they are going to be able to finish them all in one morning.
*On Saturday I am taking Corey to the Kennedy Center for NPR's A Jazz Piano Christmas. I am really looking forward to it. The weather has been rather warm here so I am finding it difficult to get into the Christmas spirit, but this should help.
*I only have 3 more weeks of work before I our office closes for the holidays! In 18 days I will be flying down to Florida to spend the holidays with my family. I will be there for a week and then have an additional week of relaxing before going back to work.
