Hello world its Joe
As I reflect on the month of March I recall the night before genograms were due. As you would guess, I indeed procrastined writing the paper. But do not fret, I got the job done! The process was challenging and good.. but also annoying. Now let me explain. It was challenging and good by giving me better understanding of my family members and the experiences they each had when they were a child. I learned about different patterns in my dads and moms side that have been passed down generation to generation. It was also neat hearing my sisters share their experience and how it was similar or different to my experience.
The process was annoying because the smoke detector started chirping at 4 AM. I was almost done with my paper but the chirping was persistent, every 20 seconds I would hear a loud chirp. I had to just deal with the chirp until Monday afternoon when I could go to the store and get a new battery for the smoke detector.
I’m really grateful for Laura Love for teaching Family Systems and having us create a genogram and write a paper about our genogram and family interviews. The class was very informative and there are many things I am taking with me that will be useful in the future.
On another note… This month Josh and I discovered our new Monday dinner spot before guy’s night. We found a food truck called G’s Tacos. It doesn’t sound special but the joy it has brought to Josh and myself has made it special to us. The food truck is off of six forks road on the side of a gas station near Planet Fitness. If you need better directions contact me and I’ll try my best to get you there.
