The View from our hotel room
The view from the Wildflower Bread Co. Uptown
At the airport scenic overlook, 1000 ft. above the town.
We found the traveling Buddha on the way back down
The view of the cars from way up here....
So this is the chart and certificate that Matt received after a named a star for him. We are thinking about doing another for me. Possibly when we have kids getting one for them too... But that's a long time off yet.
Here are the wedding canvasses we received on the same day and the shadow box of my bouquet. I think everything turned out well.
Okay so I haven't been very good at keeping up with this since the wedding so here is the run down of everything I have taken on this year.
I am the grade chair for special areas which basically means I am the first to know what is going on with us and the school (most of the time). I receive a stipend for this.
I am the lead union representative for my campus of 3 reps, I shoulder the responsibility of making sure the Memorandum of Understanding (our guidelines) are followed. I also have to hold monthly meetings to communicate what the head of the union needs communicated.
I belong to the Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC) , Morgan is the Chair, I help her by taking minutes and help to resolve issues and complaints with 8 other people. (the 2 means I hear a lot of complaining).
I am still running my after school art classes starting in October. I will have 2 a month except for December and January. They are going to pay me this year $22 an hour.
I am still doing Artsonia. I currently have 200 works of art up and I started yesterday. www.artsonia.com/schools/mirage1 They gave me an award this year for leadership. Artsonia only gives out 10 per state.
Tomorrow I am going to a breakfast so that I may receive the honors of the Del Sol Rotary Club Teacher of the Month for September.
This is all very wonderful and extremely stressful all at the same time. I just wanted to share. Talk to you all soon!
Love, Erin
Shannon gave us a back stage tour of the Education animals of the zoo. Really cool!
What a great month July has been. After all the planning I'm sorry to see it go. I'll miss Erin and Matt and of course Rosco. So now, on with the summer.
We helped him pick out a bear to stuff and this is the guy stuffing the bear for him.
You can give the bears a "bath" afterwards. Air comes out of the showers and Logan was just facinated by the whole thing.
While Rachel and I make the bear a birth certificate Matt and Logan play with another computer.
Elvis Logan Ringbear and Logan in the stroller with his cute suit (that looks like Logan's) and ring pillow.
I think he had fun!
