Celebration

Posted on by Erica

It is time for a celebration. Andy even got out a bottle of Bourbon County Stout. Tomorrow, it will be announced that I will assume the role of the Interim Director of the Assessment Resource Center on March 6. This is bittersweet for me because I love Casey and I am really sad to see her go. Sometimes, you have to look out for #1, and she has an opportunity that only happens once. I suspect the next few months are going to be crazy, busy, stressful, and nuts, but I work with the best. I am very much looking forward to leading ARC onward with an amazing Leadership Team and working with a staff that makes me proud every day. Bring on the next chapter of my professional life. Also, a big thank you to that husband of mine for saying, “Go for it.” You knew that I would be all in on this and, yet, you said to do it anyway. The support from you and kids is everything to me.

Another Last

Posted on by Erica

It was another last for us today. We just had our final Parent-Teacher-Student conference at Ridgeway Elementary. It is so hard to believe that we are just a few, short months from no longer having an elementary student in the Kassel Castle. All of the amazing teachers and staff at Ridgeway have done so much for our kids. I struggle with the idea that the end is near. Time, you are killing me today.

Martini

I decided tonight was a good night for a Thin Mint Martini. I was really looking forward to a Thin Mint in a glass. However, I haven’t made one of these in a while and I should have written the recipe down when I got it just right. This certainly did NOT taste like a Girl Scout Thin Mint. I drank it, but very slowly. Back to the drawing board…

156

My magic number for the year is 156. That is three bike rides a week. I have 10 so far this year. I am only behind by 14, which is not bad given that I have had a distinct lack of motivation. Time to get back at it!
