It has been a while since our last post, and many amazing things have happened. The first big thing was that Paul's sister, Mary, got married! On April 10th Mary and Tim said "I DO" in a beautiful ceremony in Salem. It was a weekend full of family, love and God! We were so blessed to witness and be apart of this union.





We had our first garage sale as a couple this Saturday and were pretty sucessful. Our neighborhood was doing it so we put a few of our things out and stayed pretty busy.

I am all registered for masters classes this summer. I am hoping to be done in about 2-3 years, which means I will probably take 1-2 classes per term. I was excited about going back to school until I realized just how expensive master programs are! It is about double what undergrad courses cost and the other bummer is that I don't have a choice if I want to keep teaching I have to get my masters within 10 years of initially getting my teaching license. Oh well...

The half marathon is one week away! We did a good training run last weekend and I think I am ready to go. Paul won't be doing it with me this time since the race is on a Sunday, but I am running it with my brother-in-law.

We can't wait for summer and the warm weather! We love being outside and doing activities outside and summer is so enjoyable here in Oregon. We are excited to take advantage of our backyard and the little things we added to it last fall.

We went up to Portland last weekend and rode some of the Hynes horses for a bit.



It is a busy time of the school year with programs, carnivals, and end of the year projects. I can't blieve we are almost done with this school year!

Cheers!
