Ok so I have been away from a computer for a long time staying at my grandparents house. So here is day 2. The person I have been closest with the longest is my really 2 people, my parents!

Day 1

1. I love to travel!

2. I love to take pictures!!

3. I dont like seafood, but love the ocean

4. I broke two bones after I was 25, my ankle and my thumb, none before.

5. In college I accidentally dyed my hair purple, but kept it cause I liked it.

6. I have an irrational fear of sharks.

7. Its my dream to one day write a novel.

8. I wish I could go hiking more.

11. I like my water super cold.

12. I absolutely love old movie actors, especially Cary Grant.

14. I have 16 surgical scars from 4 surgeries.

15. Every time my students ask me what we are going to do that day in class, I say, "Same thing we do every day, try to take over the world," I secretly hope that it annoys them as much as them asking me annoys me. :)

Super imitation day

During homecoming this year our theme was the superheroes of West Jeff. One of the days was super imitation day. I decided to dress up like my student Belen. She was such a good sport about it so we took some pictures together. In these photos you can't see it but I wore high heels, all day, to school. I never do this but in the spirit of being Belen I made the sacrifice.

My favorite Class

I have the privilege of spending 2nd hour everyday with 7 amazingly fun 7th grade girls. Its become my favorite class. As a teacher its awesome to have a class that rarely ever needs to be told to listen and behave. They come in excited to learn more art and it makes my life so easy. Not only are they eager to learn but they are really fun girls too. I am constantly laughing at their funny stories of the perils of 7th grade. They make coming to school worth it. :)

Roman Ruins

We hosted a murder mystery dinner party. It was an absolute blast! Megan turned out to be the murder. I was the town hussy. Briana was a thief. Aubrey and Brigham were involved in an affair. And everyone but me was plotting to kill the poet. I was impressed with everyone's willingness to dress up and play along. We will for sure be doing this again.

Beth, Ryan, and Megan doing the Ross things from friends. We were goofing off while we were at Chiz's in St. Anthony.

Bree and I at Chiz's

Bree brought Rahley over to play with us and he was cold so I am warming him up here.
