A pat on the back

So today after school another teacher in my school popped into my classroom just to tell me that the kids she's teaching now are well prepared for grade 9 science! I TAUGHT THEM LAST YEAR!! Wow what a compliment from a colleague. Absolutely made my day.
Aside from that, I've busted out the workout video's again.... not going to be a bust this time. Cheer me on friends!

approaching the 100 day mark

This school year has been significantly easier than last year and has been flying by! The old adage is true: Time flies when you are having fun. I am still totally enjoying teaching and the everyday challenges that I come across. I think (hope) the students are learning something as I babble on about this and that. This week they discovered how very easy it is to get me off topic in science. WOW! They are slick little kids.
Anyway, I am also finding it much easier than expected to balance home and work life. Now that I have a home life! Brent and I are having fun making plans for the future and hypothetically spending our 40 million that we are going to win today! House, vacation, early retirement?? just a few options.
Brent's photography business is starting to blossom. We have so much fun taking pictures and making everybody smile. It will prove to be a fun summer business that keeps us out of trouble. Check out his blog http://www.brentgilsonphotography.blogspot.com/
Ok. more spacey thoughts and blurbs to come next time I feel inspired!
Chau amigos.

Had to get a tooth pulled today

Hope it makes my mouth feel better after it stops feeling worse.

The obligatory Blog.

I love blogs because it feeds into the idea that everyone wants to know what you are doing. Julie and i have been married 6 months tomorrow and it has been fantastic. Other than the occasional brawl over Rook technique it has been smooth sailing. Julie goes back to work tomorrow and i begin my last semester of school. The next few months will be a whirlwind so here goes nothing.
