spring update

i've recently been chastised for posting boring content that is irrelevant and fails to inform you of milestones in my life. (good point though, robin.) therefore, i have today decided to update you on what is going on. vis a vis, the following:
i am in the home stretch at work this month. i have eight more days at church before i'm done for the summer, which is surprising, exciting, and a little unnerving. there is much to do and little time to do it. for those of you who don't know, i've decided to start an after-school program at my church next fall, which is very exciting. however, i get back here on august 12, just two or three weeks before we hope to get started. so, i have a lot to do in preparation.
meanwhile, i'm trying to get ready to go to the beach! i'll be working out east this summer, just a few blocks from the ocean, doing student leadership development. i couldn't be more excited about this. i've just returned from spending two days in philadelphia with the other three staff members preparing and planning, and it was great! we're all pretty laid-back, which will make living in a house with thirty people much less stressful. one of the staff is married with three small children (who are extremely cute, by the way), and their entire family will be living with us at the beach.we stayed at their house in philly, and it was really cool to watch their family dynamics. they're very hospitable people, and i really admire their marriage and parenting style. it's going to be a really cool summer, watching how someone else's family functions. and the baby is not talking yet, and i shall endeavor to have his first word be "katherine." or "kaky," as my own baby sisters used to call me. or as my current friends call me. whatever.
there's a lot more going on, but this is all i have time for right now... more later!

As your current friends call you? Um... Kitty?

Sheesh.

I hope his first phrase is, "Kath, you gotta do it!"
