if you've been following my blog since the beginning, or if you've known me for the past 6 years... you'd know i've been interested in learning american sign language. after all the talk and no walk, i finally applied to a school and started ASL1 on friday. i don't have too much to say yet, but i love my teacher. she is super nice and enthusiastic. nothing beats that in a teacher. there are about 20 or so students and i'd say only about a 4th of them want to go forward through and become interpreters. i'm still unsure, but that's good enough for me.

our first class we went through fingerspelling(the alphabet) and our next class we will have a quiz on the letters. our teacher, nancy, will visually show us each letter in random and we have to write down which one it is.

i so look forward to being able to communicate through my hands, and meet people with my experience in the deaf community! there are a lot of tasks ahead of me... including writing papers :) we also have a deaf tutor on fridays before class that we communicate with!

so excited!

what's new with you?

my life as of late:

getting to know my nephew jack. he's 34 days old and he's decided to join us in the world now and is really opening his eyes. i love him.
i've been caught up in applying for ONE class at ghetto broward college. they just keep surprising me with paperwork and random things that are giving my nerves a hard time. i start my first ASL class this friday. praying that it's for me and ready to have a new challenge in my life.
works been picking up. really trying to grow my private clientele for massage. support my facebook page by liking it!
i need to get back on my cooking game; i recently made eggplant parm and chicken udon soup... nothing new.
matt starts grad school today. time to get used to a whole new work week and school schedule!
his birthday is this saturday... scheming up a surprise day!
and the one thing i'm most excited about coming up... a day trip to naples JUST to stock up on trader joe's food. it's sad that the closest one is 2 hours away.
that's it. maybe one day soon i'll keep this blog updated, with my favorite thing.... recipes!
always remember- shit happens.

love you,

-eve

it has been a month

i really just haven't been keeping my blog up to date. i went to colorado 3 weeks ago to visit my sister and friends--- here are 30 photos out of the 800 i took.

we hiked and played and ate and it was beautiful. it was my first time in colorado during the summer and it's such a different place when it's green instead of white.
