Us Time
Though we’ve had several days off throughout this service year, the last few days have been intentionally dedicated to focusing on us and things we needed or wanted to do. Thursday we worked for Evan’s mom at a photography gig, helping take pictures of middle school athletes. Though we’ve both been looking for work from…

Back to Back Road Trip
In the last three days, we’ve driven around 650 miles. Our journey into Blacksburg, Virginia didn’t quite go as planned. Monday began with problems with our rental car that led to us returning to Evan’s house without one. Thankfully, AnneMarie was willing to lend us her car long enough for us to get to Blacksburg…

Bye Bye VB
On Thursday, we finalized everything for the studio opening the next day, helping running the final errands and do the final clean up. I also ha another check -in with Kai and Boulder Rotary’s Bill Rubin as we prepare for Kai’s presentation about RYLA on Wednesday. I’m always impressed by my brother but to see…

Assorted Receptions
Today, we had a warm and wonderful reception from the Rotary Club of Town Center VA Beach. They not only welcomed us with open arms and lunch but also allowed us to speak on our adventures so far and took an active interest in continuing to support us. Hearing about all their amazing work and…

Busy Days at the Photo Studio
It’s crazy how little I have to write about and how few pictures we have for how busy we’ve been the last few days. We’ve practically lived at the studio as we prepare for opening weekend. So far individually: Evyn: designed and sent out invitations, maintained and managed everyone’s to do lists, planned catering, priced…

Two Planes To Two Places In Two Days Is Too Many
It’s been another hectic three days! It started with getting all the packing done to leave Susan’s. After that was finished up, we headed to her Rotary Club, Fort Myers South, where I got to give my third official Coddiwomple Rotary speech. We ran errands for a while before heading back for a sunset dinner…

Welcome Back To Fort Myers
It’s been so exciting to be back in a city we spent so long in! Thursday morning, Edgar generously dropped us off at the bus station and we made our way across the glades and back to Susan’s. There is still a ton of work to be done in the area, downed signs and tree…

Sunset on Miami Days
In my last post I said days had been stretching on, these last couple days whipped past and honestly I don’t know that much happened. We spent a good chunk of Monday with Evan doing work while I do more job applications. We also began looking at public transit ticket prices for getting across the…

Arepas, Applications, and (travel) Anxiety
I’m not convinced the last four days have only been four days. Each one has been jam packed in multiple ways that make me feel like each was multiple days itself. Thursday we spent most of the day at a boba cafe with Evan catching up on his job while I sent some networking emails…

Valentine’s and RYLA Adjacent Adventures
On Monday, Rolo took me to lunch for one final RYLA discussion at a historic Cuban restaurant that ended up supplying two of my meals because I liked it so much. After a tasty lunch, Evan’s plane landed early and Coddiwomple was officially united in the Miami Airport. We spent a couple hours trying to…
