Decisions

As most of you know, in January of 2011, I flew back from South Korea to attend an interview for Denver Teaching Fellows. We all know I didn't make the cut, but I was waitlisted.

Cut to Friday, October 28.  I check my email at work on my handy dandy iPhone only to see that Denver Teaching Fellows sent me a message asking me to come in for a final interview.  I don't have to do the entire process again, only confirm my interest and interview. What terrible timing.  There is nothing like a jolt to reaffirm what you feel.  I can't leave Charlotte now. I don't want to leave Christopher, and teaching in Denver isn't so important to me to break up with him. So, there it is. The girl that was once hugely afraid of commitment is coming around. Who knew?

November is upon us, which means it is Movember. (www.movember.com) is an organization that helps raise awareness for prostate cancer and men's health.  Men are encouraged to shave on the first of November and grow moutaches, or just sport a moustache the entire month.  I signed up on the website and received promotional items and a wristband (much like the livestrong ones).  I'll probably post pictures of Christopher's moustache throughout the month. I must admit, though, it was quite odd walking in the door and seeing him without his beard.  I haven't seen facial skin in at least a year.

The time for Aly's wedding is creeping up very quickly. I'm so excited. I can't wait to see her (it's been years - since college).  Not to mention, Christopher is a music lover and Austin is the music city.  It should be fun. :)
