Hey-Oh! Back and Blogging




Well, well, well friends...it has been awhile...and I mean awhile! Sheesh. I have not posted a blog in just about a year...sad? maybe. But my blogging life is not over. I am back! and I am excited to update you all on the life and times of the Keisers. P.S: How awesome is Fall?

Quick Updates:

Now for a longer winded version...buckle up!

I finished up my job in June and it was a whirlwind of goodbyes as we left the shore to move west to Marlton. It all happened so fast and it took me a while to process everything. My last day was Thursday June 30th and then we moved the very next day! As I looked back on my time at Goddard, I was overwhelmed with how much God had blessed me in that time. I know it sounds crazy to say that, because this past year was very hard for Todd and I. It was a very slow process making friends and work was very tiring and stressful at times However, now that its all behind me, I can truly thank God for the amazing relationships he drew me into this past year. Because of that, my last day at school was full of tears. I was so encouraged by how sweet all of the parents and teachers were to me and I am so thankful for every one of them. I miss my kiddos everyday and I hope to stay in touch with many of the families.

Summer rolled on and in August we got to go on the trip of a lifetime. We hopped the pond to London for the wonderful wedding of Emily (Keiser) Manning  (Todd's sister) and Paul Manning. It was so much fun! Todd and I were so thrilled to get to spend a lot of quality time with his family, while at the same time seeing all of the amazing sights in London. The first leg of our journey to England was a megabus ride from Philly
to Boston where we stayed with the wonderful Chris and Katie Pletcher. We got a great tour of Boston, which I LOVE! It is such a walkable, clean, beautiful city and I am definitely excited to go back for more visits in the future. I have always loved New England and its charm and Boston most certainly did not disappoint. Next we took a red-eye flight *interruption:candid moment: okay, yes the flight WAS cheaper...and yes, it did get us there safely, but, it was far from comfortable and I felt exhausted for the next 4 days...end candid moment*. Upon arriving to England, I was whisked away to the Hen-Do (a British bachelorette party) where we went to English Tea (fancy, I know), saw the sights of London from a river tour on the Thames, ate dinner at a quaint Italian restaurant, and ended at one of Em's favorite pubs .
