new month, new season, new beginnings.

happy labor day! :) michael has the day off and we're going to a friends house for a relaxing barbeque tonight. our busy weekend is over and tomorrow i am scheduled for surgery. initially, it is not what i wanted, but i'm eager for it to be over and begin to feel healthy once again.

i've also been doing some serious thinking about taking a college course in library science and getting my associates degree. i felt it was time that i picked a vocation and i've always daydreamed of being a school librarian. i love books, i love kids and i would love to inspire students to read. i still need to find out who is offering classes since the community college here does not, i'm also considering online classes. i'm thinking of hopefully starting school sometime next year when michael has finished his masters degree and we're settled in a new place.

now for the weekend wedding wrap-up! here's a few pictures of my family at waller park in santa maria. it was great to see them and my extended family at my cousin tara's wedding. it was too short a time to spend with them, but i'm happy to have spent it. :)


james and dad sporting the mirror-shades.


valerie and i have the same smile. my sister and mom are too cute!

matt and teri's wedding was beautiful and i'm glad we were able to be there. my feet are still recovering from all the dancing we did! it was good friends and good food!


hannah found the cookies!


ha! matt looking murderous and teri looking beautiful.


michael and i taking a break from dancing. hehe, i love our prom date pose.

You look so cute! I think you'd be a great librarian — the kids would be lucky to have you around!

Jenny!

I just did a little investigative work after Michael commented on my blog. Apparently, we're on the library journey together! I don't check your blog for a week, and I miss out on all kinds of fun :)

San Jose State University offers a completely online program (it's hybrid in the Bay Area), and they have a satellite program at Cal State Fullerton. I only know about their Master's in Library Science, though.

Here's a list of Associate's and Bachelor's programs in CA, which would give you the library tech certification that most school librarians have. Happy hunting!
