Still working ")

Achievement~Mary and I have been working on a grant for Yoga!

Respect~Husband and I finally had a chance to visit last night - we've had a lot of company hanging around.

Fun~Went for a walk with my FUN dogs!

Freedom~Did I mention my house was quiet and I (just lil' ole' me and my dogs) went for a stroll last night. It was delightful!

A: Lot's of achievement this week! I wrote a grant for robotics equipment with Pogy and now I'm writing a grant for a yoga class with Dana and Jen. I'm learning how to type on an ipad. I learned about naming "one thing" each day that I'm going to do rather than making a whole to do list. I like that idea. I think it will help to focus and get more done. Yesterday my one thing was to send birthday gifts to Hugh and Barb and that was done before noon so I had the rest of the day to get tons of other bonus things done.
R: I've heard from Miriam the last few days and I'm hoping to see her in Seattle this summer. Maybe she'll let me post her tap picture here.
F: I'm taking tickets at the playhouse tonight.
F: I planted all different flowers that I've never planted before. It felt kind of free to get out of my flower rut!

A:my iPad arrived today and I'm learning a whole new way to maneuver through the world.
R: Seth and Jess are my very skilled tutors.
F: a dinner time call from Stephany and Jesse. They are moving forward with wedding plans.
F: Slept way in!

Holy Moly - can you believe another school year has gone by???!!!

Fun - Well heck - life is fun!

Freedom - Here I come!!

Eight Grade Graduation was pure ARFF. Through the efforts of our entire staff, and a lot of hard work and perseverance on the part of the students, all the 8th graders passed and were able to join in the celebration. It's a very diverse group of students, and they have really come to respect one another. Their speeches were meaningful, with some lighthearted comments sprinkled in for fun. The slide show celebrated their diversity and ended with a perfect prank to fuel the Bobcat/Griz wars. The reception was simple and beautiful. BIG Bountiful thanks to Jackie and Jeannie.

Achievement: Jen and I are finishing up our work on the careers curriculum.

Respect: I've enjoyed welcoming incoming students for next school year.

Fun and Freedom: Walking, gardening, picking flowers, enjoying the sunshine....

Achievement: I'm seeing the light at the end of the scheduling tunnel.

Respect: My sweetheart brought me a yummy detention salad from Rosa's.

Fun: Going home to dig in the garden.

Freedom: I'm planning on singing all the way home.

Had a crazy weekend and lots of ARFF too!!

Achievement- We had 2 kids graduate from high school this past weekend. It's a very strange feeling but definitely one of achievement :-)

Respect - Hosted a BBQ at our house and everyone showed up - YEAH!

Fun - Although it was a crazy weekend filled with many emotions, there were definitely moments that were filled with fun...like when we took family pictures...lots of laughing.
