recently

so like usual i've been super busy and it is only going to get crazier. i've been subbing a lot. A LOT. (which i'm not complaining about) and also i'm back in retail land 1-2 shifts a week right now and also gearing up to start more conferences. so i've been busy with work, but the nice thing is with subbing i've been having my evenings free! and i've made friends with the secretary at one of the schools so she calls me up sometime during the day to ask if i'm free to sub another day. i knew last monday that i'd be subbing the rest of the week, and on friday i knew i'd be subbing mon-wed this week, and for the week after next i only have monday to find a job for. so that has been really nice. and i've been lucky that i've for the most part had good classes so subbing hasn't been hell. plus i've been reading like a manic. i read 31 books in april. and i'm already on book 5 for may. 

and i've also had some fun as well! i went to play at fort moultrie two weekends ago and also went to the beach, played in a historic house, went on a few first dates, celebrated amy's birthday, watched a lot of hockey, watched some more hockey, GO DEVILS!!, went to cypress gardens, charles pinckney national historical site and out to dinner with an amazing blog friend!

went to fort moultrie national historic site and played in some revolutionary - WWII history! 

went to visit the roomie at work at one of the historic
houses downtown and i <3 it! i also played downtown that
afternoon and read along the battery and enjoyed the day.

had a fun night out with the roomie & friends for her birthday!

a gorgeous sunset over the ravenel bridge on night over the weekend!

i went on a few first dates over the last few weeks and one of them
made it to date three where we went to cypress gardens for the afternoon
and played outside in the gorgeous!

i continued my national park love by going to the charles pinckney national historic site and spent about an hour there on the farm and learning more about pinckney and the revolutionary war/colonial south carolina.

met the wonderful angela for an amazing dinner! the food was delish and it was great to see her one last time before her & her husband head over to germany for a few years! 

 and my loves the devils won the second round of the NHL playoffs against the philly flyers and it was awesome. i've been watching a lot of playoff hockey as they beat the florida panthers in round one in game 7 in overtime. and they had quite a few overtime games in both rounds - so pretty crazy. so now i'm waiting on the winner of the rangers/capitals to see who the devils will play. i'm really hoping for the rangers just because the rivalry between those two teams is kinda intense and also my dad is a rangers fan. so it adds to the fun. so loving all of the hockey right now!


so yea - lots going on. i'm off to columbus, ohio wednesday night for a conference and i'll be there until sunday evening and then hoping back to charleston sunday night where i'm meeting my aunt, who will be visiting me for a few days after.
