WOW! Has it been that long? I must apologize for not keeping you up to date. In my defense, I have been traveling quite a bit. I hope to update you (with photos of course) of all my travels. Here is a brief list of where I have been since Houston for 4th of July:

Las Vegas (bachelorette party)
Rochester (bridal shower and bachelorette party)
Boston/Danvers/Gloucester (Sarah's wedding)
Atlanta (Ashwin's wedding)
Rochester (Krishna's wedding)
Upper Peninsula ("you-pee") of Michigan (birthday celebration for James)

Needless to say, good time were had by all. I am very blessed to have loving friends and family to visit and share some adventures with.

With all that said, I am grateful to be staying put until Thanksgiving.

What else has been going on? I got a part-time job at the local pet store, Preuss Pets. They are a locally-owned shop with an impressive fish department. I am learning so much from my co-workers in the salt water department. I am only there on Sundays, which makes it tough to keep up the learning curve. Some day I hope to return to the world of the aquatics and I hope I am making the right choice by putting my time in at Preuss.

My first session at the YMCA comes to an end this week. My class members were the best and made my first (paid) teaching experience an amazing one! I have another session lined up, which will take me to Christmas time. Whenever I sub for spinning at MSU, students/participants come up to me and ask when I teach. Unfortunately, I only substitute. I hope I can have my own class in the spring. If I do, I need to make up a million more routines! Please let me know if you have any song recommendations that would be good for spinning.

Check back soon for some photos of my trips!
