I've Moved!
So, my blog has moved so it is in conjunction with my website! I've been updating it fairly regularly since July (much more than when it was here), so feel free to come check me out there!!
The link on the side should take you there but it is also:

Thanks, all! I hope you don't have trouble finding my new place!

Super busy!
So, a lot has happened since my last post: I'm settling in happily to my new job, two of my oldest friends got married this week, and the BP oil spill is taking over my thoughts... Though I'm sure it's taking over more than just mine.
And in two and a half months, I'm getting married. That makes me so busy! We're almost done with the invitations, so I'm super excited to get those all done. We also have a lot more supplies for the decorations and everything, but we have a few things to hammer out, so there is still a lot of work to do!
With my new job, I absolutely love it! I love being able to work with kids and teach people about different things and different ways that things work underwater. I love talking about it, learning more, and sharing that with everyone. I've started training to do education classes, so I'm even getting set to work with a lot of class groups.
As I'm typing this, animal plant is showing a thing about cone jellies/ctenophores - they are bio-luminescent. So, they light up on their own. Super cool. We have some at work. Some of the coolest jellyfish ever.
Two of my oldest friends got married this Tuesday. I know, it sounds weird to get married on a Tuesday, but it is a very cute story! The bride's grandparents were married on the same day 51 years prior, and her parents were married 25 years prior... and it was her 23rd birthday. So, it is a hugely significant day in her family's life, and they are happy to share it!
The wedding was gorgeous and amazing. I had a blast visiting, seeing old friends, and dancing my pants off... Richard Simmons style!
And the sad news... I can't stop thinking about the oil in Gulf. I'm constantly running it through my mind and wishing there was more I could do. So, I educate and talk about it all the time at work, with my friends, and talk about it almost endlessly with family and my fiance. I can't stop thinking about the habitats that are being destroyed and the destruction to the critters down there, especially those that are so highly endangered (like Kemp's Ridley sea turtles - they only have about 1,000 nesting females left).
But on the bright side, my work is sending supplies and monetary donations to one of the aquariums in New Orleans to help with animal conservation. Have I mentioned how much my job rocks?
