Five Days and Two Classes

Amazingly, today I am a mere week away from earning my Bachelor's degree and teaching license.

Two and half years ago I set out on this journey and now it is coming to an end.

My thoughts and actions have pin pointed to this moment for so long. My vision has been focused acutely on this day. It feels a little strange to be here. Strange, happy, excited, and scared. All of the emotions are swirling around me like dandelion seeds.

I had my final faculty evaluation last week. I turned in my last homework assignment. From this point forward everything is just paperwork and red tape.

I would like to say that now is the time to celebrate, relax, and enjoy a little freedom. However, life is about forward motion and the time for new goals is now. Ideas for new goals are stacked up around me like toy blocks. I am narrowing down my options and deciding what goals need to take priority.

Among, those many goals is to find a job! I can hardly wait to have my own classroom. The past nine weeks have been among the best weeks of my life. I love being in a classroom and teaching. Sometimes I feel so happy that I hardly recognize the person I have become. My perspective and ideas have shifted so dramatically. I wonder what I am going to do with this new me in a week when she doesn't have a classroom to teach.

This is my way of asking you to send lots of prayers and wishes that soon I will have a classroom to call my very own.

Happy Sunday/Daylight Savings

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real. Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself. By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

What not to Wear, Swimsuit Addition

Working at a swimming pool a strange thing starts to happen to you. You become less aware of the fact that you are wearing a swim suit. You become less aware that people around you are wearing swimsuits. Really in most instances you don't even notice the swimsuits. Which is ironic sense most people are so uncomfortable in what a swim suit discloses about their bodies. However, the truth is not that many people have fantastic bodies. It is an exception to the rule for a swim suit model to walk into the pool. Most people who come to the pool are everyday people with everyday bodies. That being said there are things us pool workers do notice. Things that I feel as your friend I must share. Things that have left young men scarred and us older ladies just plain grossed out. So here it is my first what not to wear swim suit addition. Rule Number One. Wear a swimsuit that fits. I see more women do harm to their figure wearing a suit that is two, three, four sizes to small then...
