Since Dan doesn't want to post, and I keep asking him, I thought I would take the matter into my own hands. This is my first post EVER...I know...it's pretty sad, so here it goes.
I thought I would give you an update on what is going with us. Dan-is keeping busy, working and teaching the Deacons. I have been out of school since JUNE 18th!! It has been really relaxing, I LOVE summer! I have been running and working on some classes through University of San Diego. It is nice to have a break and we have been doing some fun things this summer. We are headed to Mammoth the first week of August with a group of people I work with and then it is back to work-unofficially-setting up the classroom, and getting ready for next year.
Here are some pics...

Celebrating the 100th day of school. We make crowns with $100 bills on them and necklaces with 100 fruit loops. The kids LOVE the 100th day of school and look forward to it all year!

Visiting my brother Jason and his wife Carlie. They flew us to Oregon so Dan could lay the carpet in their new home that they are building themselves...YES, they are doing EVERYTHING on their own. They are brave souls, and their house looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL!Here are a couple more pics of the trip.



We went mountain biking while in Oregon, it was so beautiful, I miss it...

My best friend Kristin celebrated her 25th birthday in July-so we had a GIRL'S NIGHT!
It was so much fun!

We joined our friends Natllely and James and went to a Storm baseball game. Lake Elsinore has their own team, so we got tickets for a Friday night and enjoyed hot dogs and fireworks!

Dan and I at our FAVORITE place...PINKBERRY! Yummy!
Hanging out with the family. These are my stepdad's children, on the left-Dale and his wife Tina, and their daughter Kyra-on the right-Jill and her husband Chase, and my mom is holding their son Brian. Miss you Bruce!

This is my class from last year...
I hope you enjoy the post. Sorry it is so long. I hope you are having a GREAT summer!
