Phew...

Today was my last day with the students this year. This year has gone by crazy fast and as I was walking the halls super early this morning my mind ran back to memories of the first week of school. Doesn't seem like that long ago! And....I have a contract for next year. With state revenue down all schools (or state agencies for that matter) have to make cuts. Unfortunately that means that several first year teachers were put on lay-off, but I was very blessed to be given a contract for next year!

We have been working very hard getting things all wrapped up before summer, but before that we were able to spend a very relaxing and adventurous weekend backpacking out of Roseburg. We went over Memorial weekend and couldn't have asked for better weather or weekend! We hiked a total of 12 miles and found very nice spots to camp each night.



Spring and summer are my favorite seasons and it is nice to have the summers more open to enjoy the activities that come with that season. We are running a half marathon the end of June, have some weddings we hope to attend in July and August, and are going back to Washington, D.C. to see some of Paul's family and the sites the end of July.

Thank you for checking in and continuing to keep us in your prayers!
