I'm still in grad school -- I'm in my last semester now and I graduate May 2nd. I am currently involved in a research project at the BETA Center, which is an agency which provides services to pregnant teens.. it also does community outreach and teen pregnancy prevention.. I'll be facilitating two focus groups with parents to find out what services are lacking --- then I'll be analyzing the data and writing a paper (hopefully) for publication. I should also have my name on a couple other papers by the end of the semester, since I am also involved in an independent study and am a research assistant on campus .... but we shall see how that goes....
As most of you know, Jon and I got married on December 30th, 2007. We were surrounded by 120 of our closest family and friends -- it was wonderful! That being said, we are definitely glad the planning process and all the hooplah is over, so we can now enjoy being married! We are in the process of looking at houses, and hope to put it an offer by the end of the month.... more on that as it develops!
Jon started working Full-time in January at Northrop Grumman as a Software Engineer --- he's really enjoying it -- and we are both enjoying our newfound financial security :-)
He's still actively involved in the UCF Robotics team, and will be traveling to Michigan again in May to compete.
I will be in Tallahassee, FL on March 30th with the FL chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, to lobby the FL legislature on various issues pertaining to the social work profession.
I think that is about it for now.... here's a couple of wedding pics for you all..... more to follow later.
<3 TLC
