-Good Evening Friends/Consumers/Colleagues-
I am ready for Spring!! I hope you are all enjoying your days and look forward to Spring as well. LOL

Well, I would like to update you on work and my life thus far since my last blog.
First and foremost I am recently engaged!! I know, such an exciting time in my life and I couldn't love Jeremy anymore!! He proposed to me on Dec 27th In Walnut (my hometown 40 miles south of Council Bluffs) infront on roughly 100 Hoffmanns/extended family, and friends.
We are proud to say the big day is June 5th, 2010.
Work is going well. I am so lucky to wake up and head into a place that I love so much and find so much joy and yet challenge at the same time.
I recently joined the PDC (Professional Development Committee) for ISRID (Iowa State Registry for the Deaf) and have enjoyed myself very much. Despite all of the hard work I am experiencing many new things. I have enjoyed getting to know the other members and what they stand for. It has most importantly, been a joy and honor to bring my skills, ideas, and suggestions to the Committe.
I joined the PDC to have a "voice" and make sure that Iowa continues to provide the best resources, education, and experiences to the Interpreters and there consumers.
We are in the process of planning the Spring ISRID Conference which is held in Sioux City, IA March 27th-29th. Alot of work is needed yet but I am confidant that the conference will be a huge success.
Come back for an over-view of the conference from my personal experience. :)
And as always,
Take Care of yourself, take care of each other, and take care of our profession.
