Wow, I didn't realize just how long it had been since my last post. I'm very sorry to keep you waiting. Hmm... where to start. The following comes in no particular order.
A few weekends ago, Project SERVE went on our spring retreat. A very kind Catholic Charities donor gave us his condo to use for the weekend. Right on the beach, we got to wake up to views of the ocean. It was a great balance of life giving conversations and down time which included walks on the beach and the boardwalk.
It is getting to be that time of year that it is hitting all of us that our time is winding down. We're each a bit in denial, but have to face the reality of looking for jobs. I'm having a hard time finding the time to put out applications, but I'm excited for the possibilities that next year might hold.
It has been a big month for fund raiser's and dinners. There was the Catholic Charities Annual dinner, at which Executive Director Bill McCarthy quoted a thank you letter that one of my clients wrote to the Sarah's house staff. It was a very proud moment. Then there was My Sister's Place Bridesmaids Bingo where we dawned Allison Stone's old prom and bridesmaids dresses to sell raffle tickets. We also went to dinner at Kelly's supervisor's house. All were very tasty and fun.
Probably the highlight of the last month was seeing MY PARENTS! They came down for Easter weekend and we had a wonderful time. Not only were my parents here, but Aaron's parents were visiting him in VA the week leading up to Easter and they hung out with us in Baltimore before driving back up to Maine on Saturday. The Morneau's and my dad had hoped to go to an Orioles game, but it sadly got rained out. So the boys went to the bar and watched the Celtics while the girls went shopping. On Saturday, Mom, Dad, Aaron and I spent the day walking around Fells Point and on Sunday we went to Mass at the Bascillica and then spent the day with my Gramma and the Baummer family. It was a wonderful visit.
Another highlight was this past weekend. I had my final concert of the season with the Baltimore Choral Arts Society. We performed at Goucher College on Sunday afternoon. We sang Gweneth Walker's "Dreams and Dances", Eric Witacre's "Five Hebrew Lovesongs" and Handel's "Dixit Dominus". We all felt that the performance went well. Thank you to Aunt Mary Carol, Aunt Jean, Aaron, Faith and Rebecca who came out to support me!
That's all that comes to mind at the moment. If I think of anything else I'll be sure to post.
Happy Easter!
