Iowa vs. Ohio State

Saturday was really fun. Adam and I went to Iowa City to tailgate before the big Iowa v. Ohio State game. It was very exciting, everyone wearing gold, and talking big about a possible victory against the #1 team in the country while ESPN and ABC watched. Phrases like "melrose magic" mixed in with the beer to create a jolly crowd. We saw many friends and some family from Chicago and enjoyed great food. I love people that tailgate with big tvs, great music and food...and invite me!! :) Adam and I didn't go to the game because tickets were starting at $250 so we watched it from home. Even though we didn't win, it was a great game and happy memories made.
   Iowa Marching Band rocks!

Wait, NOT announcing a pregnancy...

I should clarify my news. After a few phone calls I should tell you my (potential) news is more in the job category, not reproductive. Sorry to disappoint! Ha, I didn't even think that is how my last post would be interpretted-oops! While not the pregnancy you are thinking, this new development could be the birthing of a new role for me. I hope to hear whether or not we got the grant within the next week. I hope, I hope, I hope...

Loss of a generation.

Tomorrow Adam and I will go the funeral for a childhood friend's dad. He died suddenly in the middle of the night. He was 60. It is a very sad deal and made me think about my own parents' death someday. Hard to think about living without that support around. I'm still processing.
PS: Do you like my new picture? I call it "Crazy Sarah". I took it while hiking in Colorado. I felt crazy, wild, free. So maybe that's the me I want to be for a bit. Hmmm. I just came from a play therapy conference that was very experiential so I'm feeling less inhibited and more daring for sure.
