Food is my life!

Wow! I haven't posted on this thing for quite some time but Erinn sent me a text and when I looked at it, it was too late to reply so I am just going to post something on here instead.

So, I am super busy right now. First, I am now working with the Real Food Challenge as a Regional Field Organizer, which basically means I help contact schools and get them interested in campaigning for better food at their school. I am also working on the audit program we have called the Real Food Calculator. I have been working really hard on it and now the Real Food Challenge is going to fly me to Denver in October to present on it at the AASHE (Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education) Conference. It is a great opportunity so I am really excited and a little nervous.

At the same time, I am also still working on all this stuff on my campus. I helped to form a committee to start a garden and I am currently auditing the school's food purchases. I also got ahold of some other colleges near mine and we are going to have a conference in September about food on our campuses. It is all really exciting. I even was interviewed by the local newspaper about the stuff that I have been doing (It won't be published until school starts again in September).

Anyway, I am really busy but it is a good busy. I am doing work that I really love and makes me feel like I am accomplishing something. Everything else is great! Carli and I have been married for 8 months already and we are very happy!

Everyone else should update with what is happening in their life. Also, if you haven't heard Tom was moved up to administration and Sadi was named his replacement as drum instructor at Inner Harbour. It is really great news for Sadi and he has made a bunch of positive changes in his life. We talked the other day and he sounded absolutely great, which was really exciting to hear. Just thought I would share that and you should definitely congratulate him and encourage him because I think he is filling a bit overwhelmed with the huge jump.

Miss you friends.
