Over Memorial Day weekend, I flew to SD to attend my cousins highschool graduation party in Casper, Wyoming. My parents and I drove to Casper together. Family road trip 2008. It really had it all: rest area pit stops, wind (always windy in WY), gas station snacks, music, magazines and photo stops at the SD and WY border. It was a good time.
After that adventure, I prepared for another Master's weekend. I had a few assignments still hanging over my head. (P.S. Mom and Dad assisted with one of the assignments while I was in SD; team effort to decorate bubble bottles). Finally, by Friday afternoon I was ready to go to class on Friday night. It was a long weekend, but had a blast with friends. One of our creations is pictured below. My friend and I cut 1/2" squares of textures from magazines to create a masterpiece we titled, Love Holds You. We started and finished it during the weekend (while we were in class. we are multitaskers) and presented it to Tricia (the lovely gal in the photo).
This week has been full of meetings, projects, just something going on every night. Tonight (6/6) we were able to meet up with some friends for dinner. Really, it was the only night available. Tomorrow I am attending a National Board orientation at PLU. I have offically been accepted to the National Boards program and the orientation tomorrow is just one piece of the puzzle. The university will provide support and guidance throughout the process.
Eight and a half more days of teaching. With all the rain, it doesn't seem like summer yet. Today was "Hawaiian Day" at school and my toes were ice cubes because I chose to wear flip flops. What was I thinking? Afterall, it is June 6th!
Enjoy the photos!
