again, i apologize.

i am still very sorry for being m.i.a. 

but, 

i can tell you a little bit about what i have been doing.

i accepted a new position at a new consulting company

in richmond, virginia

that i am very excited about! 

a little bit more responsibility

and a little less stressful environment. 

i am very excited! 

but this meant saying goodbye to all of my wonderful coworkers

i hope to keep in touch with them

and would like to publicly thank them

for all that they have taught me in the last four years! 

i also took and passed the praxis 2 for earth science, 

in the hopes that in the next few years 

i may move on towards the teaching field. 

i have extensively been researching evening classes

for teacher licensure programs

and met with education professionals in the area about my future transition.

(becoming a teacher is hard work...!)

hopefully 

i will have a little more "rachel time"

to accomplish my hugely-long to-do list 

finally upload pictures from JANUARY

i have to start that etsy shop

finish a lot of craft projects

get ready for my baby sister's graduation

potentially start marathon training

start organizing curriculum

plan some vacations

(including obx with my family,

beach with the girls,

delfest!!!!

and to chicago in a week and a half

to see my fav les!)

so happy spring,

and here's to new beginnings ( :
