So I have become a really lame blogger. Sorry to all that have been trying to keep up with us via this web 2.0 tool. Lately I have fallen back in love with the telephone, mail, and other forms of communication that don’t require any typing.
MARCH
For those that don’t know I finished my National Board portfolio at the end of March. I recently took my 3 hour, 6 essay exam to complete the process…..this has been a 18 month journey. I will not find out my results of either until….wait for it….NOVEMBER…..yes that is correct. When I pass (putting the positive vibes out) my teaching certificate will be good in any state and I will also receive a monetary stipend for the next 10 years as well.
Also in March I went to Vegas for Katie’s Bachelorette Weekend. It was sooo much fun especially since I had never been there before.

Jenna and I
We had 13 girls on the trip. My fabulous friend Jill was kind enough to book a junior sweet for the time we were there. We could have slept on the floor, but with that many girls we needed more than one bathroom….
The first night I got there we went out for dinner and then got bottle service! It was a blast pouring our own drinks, having a place to sit for everyone, and having our own security guard.
The second night we had a lingerie shower for Kate and then we went to see the cirque du soleil show “O”. It was by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen preformed.
MAY
May 15 was Katie and Jay’s Wedding and it was a lot of fun to say the least. Below are some picture from the rehearsal dinner that was an Italian buffet.
Travis and I….very full bellies not shown
WEDDING DAY

The BEAUTIFUL bride and myself….don’t mind the parking stripes
Katie looked beyond gorgeous and it was amazing to see one of my best friends get married to such a great person, in such a perfect and heartfelt ceremony.
SCHOOL IS OUT
The last official day of School for me was May 26th. To celebrate at the end of the day I started at my own schools happy hour and then made my way over to my friend Stacey’s party……This was where Travis came to find his very happy wife.
Stacey (looking very festive) and myself…ready for the summer
The next few month are a little crazy to say the least. I am going to San Francisco (end of June) and Alaska (July9-20) in the next two months.
I am also taking two, week long, classes (in June) and doing a 15 hour curriculum project(June).
This is on top of teaching a 3 week early start summer school program at the end of July and training for my first 1/2 marathon…..LET THE SUMMER BEGIN. I will try my best to do better with the updates.
