Gotta Catch Them All

It is hard to believe I have an eighth grader. It is August, 2024. Five years ago, on my son’s first day of school, I learned from my son that my marriage was over. It is often said that time heals. How much time are we talking? How in the world is this summer almost over? Zakaria and I went to Deep Creek last weekend and it was lovely. I forgot how incredible it is to look up into the sky and see so many stars. There was also hiking and apparently Pokemon like to hike as well. Pokemons?  Apparently Pokemon is a thing again. Zakaria is using Hadi's old account and I am sure some people are confused. I still am clueless about the whole thing but it did make me smile thinking of Hadi walking around NIH with his nurses looking for Pokemon. 
As the school year begins, I find myself wondering what it is that I want to do with my time. I recently helped a friend plan her 5 year old's birthday party and it was awesome. You know there was a spreadsheet and utilizing my skills to ensure it was a memorable experience was really sweet. Not so subtle of a plug for you to hire me to manage your events. ;) If you also want me to plan your travel, I am all for it. What else shall I look into? What gives you joy/fulfills you? 
​I haven't written in awhile but heard from a few people that commented about enjoying reading my posts in the pasts so I figured I would give it a go again.
