Chicago the Musical

Went to see Chicago at the Peace Center...and all that jazz.

Little treat makes a big difference

My principal delivered treats to the teachers today.

Life on a stick

The next 9 months of my life will be saved onto this stick. Worksheets, presentations, Smart Board slides, tests, quizzes, and so much more. It is wild that a whole year of school work can be kept on a little device the size of my pinkie finger. Technology is amazing!

Finally got my room ready

I met my new students tonight at Open House.

Remembering The King

I listened to some of my Elvis CDs to remember the King of Rock-n-Roll on the 32nd anniversary of his death. I also went to church to worship the King of Kings who overcame death.

Bella's Birthday Party!

My niece, Bella, celebrated her 3rd birthday today with a princess party. Happy Birthday Bella!

It is late Friday and Open House is on Monday!

Getting ready for Open House on Monday. As you can see, I have plenty to do.

Back to School

Teachers went back to school today. A day of meetings and school supplies.

The Fastest Summer Ever!

This is my last day of freedom. School starts back tomorrow! This has been the fastest summer ever, and this plant proves it. Plants do not last long at our house, most die within a few weeks. A student gave me this plant on the last day of school (May 28), and this is how it looks today (August 12)! Somehow this plant managed to survive an entire dry summer. The summer went by way too fast.

Keeping It Short For School

I got my last summer buzz today. This is the longest my hair had been all summer. I thought I would keep it short for my return to school. Just trying to stay in summer mode as long as possible.

Tennis

Scotti and I played tennis with the Boyds at NGU.

Nephew Nate's Dedication

"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Deuteronomy 6:5-7

On the Run

I went for a run today. I have to get in shape. I am in shape now, but mostly in the shape of an oval. I am shooting for something a little thinner.

Bowling with friends

I went bowling last night and into the wee hours of the morning (9:30 pm - 1:00 am) with Scotti, Jerry, and Amber. The last few games were heated battles. As the photo shows, one game Amber beat us all! Good friends, good times, great fun. There are just some things money can't buy. But it bought this for 20 dollars!

Which Way ?

I passed this intersection on my way home from jury duty. Spending a few days there has really opened my eyes. There are many in this world who are seeking direction and going down the wrong path.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct thy paths Proverbs 3:5-6

Riding in the shadow of Glassy Mountain

Loss on the Links

My friend Jerry beat me on the course today. Yep, I know! I am just as surprised as you are! I hate losing, but I did have fun.

Doing my civic duty

Went to court today to serve jury duty. Citizenship is a wonderful thing!

Getting ready for worship

T.D. Jakes got me fired up this morning before church. After watching the Potter's House I was ready to worship.

A good meal with a good future.

Went to Red Robin to eat and learned something about my future. The question I asked was, "Am I going to lose weight before school starts back?" The answer, "Yes. Have a Monster Milkshake to celebrate!" I bet they sell a lot of Monster Milkshakes!
