For those who haven’t heard quite yet, the presumed rumors in subsequent years turn out to be true.

It has now become possible to take a trip beyond the clouds our “normal” aircraft, airplanes, have been limited to.

Orbiting in space approximately 60 miles above earth for about 90 minutes is what Virgin Galactic passengers will experience later this month in June. If heights were ever of concern, this adrenaline rush probably extends far beyond anyone’s reasonable concerns.

Tickets had been purchased in November of 2022 by eager space and adventure enthusiasts. Initially charging $200,000 per person, tickets have sky rocketed to $450,000…per person! For some, that’s the cost of a home!!!

‘Tis the reason that going in to space is a “possibility” for some - financially speaking this may be an impossible feat to come up with.

But hey! Where there’s a will, there’s a way! And let’s not forget what an incredible and romantic view of the sunrise couples can enjoy on a possible romantic date!

Not to worry though, surely there are ways to be able to afford a ticket, right? The sky’s the limit after all…or is it?

Apparently going on the virgin galactic website has a waiting list for those interested in purchasing a ticket.

Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
