Extended Holiday Weekend

I had a really wonderful Labor Day Weekend!
Friday was Betsy's Bye Bye party. So a bunch of my friends hung out and said goodbye to Betsy before she left for Prague. I'm going to miss her and have really enjoyed our growing friendship this past summer.

Jess was house sitting for a former professor so we got to stay over there all weekend and look after 2 cats (one that was the largest cats i've ever seen in person) and the cutest, most hyper dog i've ever met, spike. So we hung around there all weekend, but it was lovely, it was like being on a vacation.

Saturday morning we went to the Austin Farmer's Market and walked around. Then we went to central market and got some yummy mangoes to make sorbet. Then Saturday night we made dinner (pinwheel steaks and roasted root veggies)and just kind of hung out. Sunday we went to church and then had the most lovely brunch at Kerby Lane. We split a blueberry pancake, jessica had a side of scrambled eggs and i had a side of bacon and then of course we both had to have margaritas! :) Our food cost less than our drinks! :) Then we came back to the profs house and rested. We then made our way to campus to make dinner with our good friend Rigsby. On the menu: Chicken Parmesan, green beans and pasta. For dessert, blackberry cobbler and intoxicating lime sorbet (homeade!).

Monday was amazing! It was Austin's Free Day of Yoga!! So we woke up early and went to San Gabriel Park in Georgetown to do our first free class! It was held at the pavilion in the park and it was so nice and cool. Next we headed to PARTNER YOGA!!! MY NEW FAVORTIE!!




We did all these poses!! IT ROCKED!! Jessica and I had such a good time and I really hpe that we can do it together again soon. She's a yoga expert... no kidding, so I just try and keep up.

So I went to my new job on Tuesday for the first time and it was pretty good, as good as the first day can be I suppose. I showed up really nervous, and comparing everything to the luxury my old job was, and really didn't have any clue as to what I'm doing specifically at this agency. But among all of those feelings I had a pretty good time. I have a new cubicle, well half of a cubicle, and I'm going to be going to lots of meetings in the community and researching a lot of what Williamson County needs in a Violence Prevention Program.

Then yesterday I had a staff meeting and then they sent me home. I have an all weekend training coming up so they wanted me to be able to comp my time. So on my first week of work I've really only worked my first day :) Awesome! If you've kept reading till the end you get a gold star for the day! :)
