Wait if everything’s going great |
Well, some of you already knew, but now that it didn’t pan out, we’re allowed to talk about it. Back in April, Chemistry.com (where Kallie and I met) contacted us and wanted us to be interviewed by a “national magazine” about our story. Turns out it was People Magazine. So they called Kallie, asked her a bunch of questions and asked for “our story” and I guess they interviewed a bunch of other people as well. After a long waiting period, we were told we weren’t selected for the article, but it is cool just to be able to say we were interviewed by People Magazine.
I’ve also been selected by Pittsburgh City Living to be the Ambassador to the Hill District! Not sure what that means exactly yet, but it’s a city program to showcase all the individual neighborhoods of the city. Hopefully I’ll be able to contribute to the growth of the Hill!
This summer has been a whirlwind of activity. We’ve been to California and back twice in July, a couple weddings around the state, heading to Canada/Yankanuck next week, went camping in Ohio and went to Cedar Point, back to Bedford for our 1 year anniversary, and just a bunch of other stuff that filled our calendars and put smiles on our faces. I think next year we’re going to really protect our weekends and time together. We had fun this year, but it was way too chaotic, and we even cut out a lot things as it was.
Back to real life, Kallie’s down to part-time work and full time student to get her NP license. Since she’s doing that, I am also heading back to RMU for my masters in organizational studies. We’re looking at 2-3 years for us to finish those up. Work is reimbursing me as long as I get above a C, and I need above a 3.00 GPA to graduate, so I should have some motivation there.
I’m training for the urbanathlon again in October. Probably doing a 5k in Charleroi and the Great Race 10k before then in preparation. I’m going to try to fund-raise for the L.i.v.i.n.g. Ministry again this year too. A lot going on with the ministry, and they could surely use the support!
I think after the race, I’m going to focus on music, playing out, writing songs, etc to carry me through the winter. Hopefully I’ll be able to follow through on that one…I’ll keep you posted 😛
