Working 9-5

Saturday, July 26, 2008

It's official...this is my last Saturday of summer. Monday I start back to school (yes, a little earlier than everyone else) for new teacher orientation. I'm glad though because I will have two full weeks to work in my room; and since I feel completely clueless about this job hopefully those two weeks will bring me up too speed. July has been a full month for us so I apologize for the lack of posting. I went to AL for a 10 day visit which also included a trip to the beach with the girls. Our first summer has been a wonderful success. We have both relaxed, slept, played, and worked (but not too much). I am glad to be getting back into a routine as I tend to function very well on routine. Crazy...I'm a teacher (who would have thought!)

4th of July

Saturday, July 5, 2008

Bryan and I headed up to Helen, GA (quite spontaneously) on the morning of the 4th and went tubing on the Chattahoochee river. It is obviously a very popular outing on the 4th since there were TONS of people there! But it was still fun. We met up with David, Farah, the boys, and Farah's mom and step-dad; grabbed some dinner and walked around a little while. It was our first visit to Helen and though, it felt more like a game day with all the tailgater's, we were quite impressed and look forward to visiting again when its a little less crowded. We hope everyone else had a great 4th as well (pictures to come but we took them with a water camera so they have to be developed the old fashioned way).

30 Minutes to Amaze Yourself

I am officially an employee of Curves for Women again. I started yesterday and am going to be working through the end of the summer and maybe 5 hours a week during the school year. Its been fun to be back in the Curves environment interacting with the women and helping them care for their bodies. I'm also excited because it will give me the opportunity to build more relationships in the area.
