Jenn and Jakey came for a visit from Massachusetts. We took them to the bike path and the East End Beach. Now we are all hanging out, I am baking bread and we are trying to get Sadie to take a nap. In a couple hours I have my second interview that I hope hope hope I get the position and after that I am going to take Jenn of her first ever trip to Marden's.

Old Orchard Beach was soooo hottt today! When I checked the thermometer in my car of the outside temp. it read 95 degrees. The sand was like fire and the water was gorgeous. Sadie had the best time running from the waves and splashing in the water.

After we spent a couple hours on the beach Eric and Sadie shared a soft serve ice cream with cherry dip from Dairy Queen (their favorite place). And then we headed down Route 1 to Wells, ME to visit the Perkins side of the family.

It was great to see them since we won't be seeing any of the Mainers this weekend (Memorial Weekend). We are heading up north to Tenant's Harbor with our friends Ryan and Sarah!!!

Tomorrow my sister and Jakey are coming and I am so excited to take Jakey to the East End Beach. I miss him so badly. Also, I have the second interview for a much wanted (needed) job.

Keep the good vibes coming folks.

The Bike Path- Portland, ME

Last night (or early this morning that is), Eric's bike got stolen from Monument Square here in Portland. It is a weird story and if you want to hear it, it is best to hear it from him because I will not do it justice.

I feel really bad for Eric. Now he is totally up a creek without a paddle. I have a good feeling it will turn up though. I really hope it does anyway.

It was straight up hot today! Sadie and I braved the heat to walk to playgroup on Munjoy Hill. I also had my interview and I have a second one coming up on Thursday (yay!). After all of that fun we all walked the bike path and headed to the East End Beach. I put my feet in, but Sadie went completely in, clothes and all.

Tomorrow we are going to Old Orchard Beach pending the weather report.

Today we hiked Rattlesnake Mountain in Raymond, ME. Sadie was especially excited about the name and the mountain because one of her favorite animals. We finished off the day with lots of water, thrift shopping and a little ice cream.

Lost bummed me out last night, just sayin'.

Also I have a huge interview tomorrow, so wish me luck!!!

First things first... still no job :(

But the good news is there are two new prospects in the works. One is working with homeless teens (awesome) and the other is working with incarcerated women (ummm dream job!!!).

Also, I had a panic attack last night thinking about grad school and have decided that the common denominator for all the jobs I have been interviewing for and looking at prefer an MSW, but require a bachelor's degree. The decision right now is to got to Social Work school... Opinions can be offered of why I should do this or why I should not!

On the other hand, it has been a bit crazy here is Portland. Arwen came for a visit and her and I got way too drunk one night. I made a few mishaps, but overall we made it home all in one piece.

Today we drove up to Oxford, ME. We passed many crazy towns and beautiful scenery. One cool spot we saw was Poland Springs in Poland Springs, ME (duh!).

We got Eric new sneakers at the New Balance Factory Outlet and went to two Marden's. If you don't know what Marden's is then you should and if you do know then you will know that we bought some random crap because that is what you do at Marden's...

Now time for Prison Birth Project conference call so I have to run. More adventures in the works.
