Dream Job!

This past Thursday I applied for my dream job. The deadline is this Wednesday and I am praying for an interview. I know if I can get an interview I can knock their socks off...they will love me! My dream job consists of teaching high school Social Studies at a neighboring district. David Douglas is one of the few districts in our state that is not being effected by the budget shortfalls, because they save their money (wow..theres a concept). I have also been contemplating teaching high school for awhile now, so this would be a dream come true! I truly feel that I am ready to make that leap from middle school to high school and am ready for new challenges. Everyone who reads this say a prayer for me and hope I get that interview:)

Six Wonderful Years and Counting!

This year Dennis and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary. It is so hard to imagine it has been six years already. It seems like yesterday we were saying our vows in front of our family and friends. Nevertheless, we decided to stay close (with Parker and all we didn't want to go to far away) and headed to the Grand Lodge in Forest Grove. I never thought I could have had such fun at an McMenamins...I truly felt that we away on a big trip and not so close to home. It was a wonderful, much needed short getaway that I would recommend to anyone! I also rediscovered just how good "Ruby" is, I have missed that beer and could not get enough of it. I guess I will have to visit more McMenamins this summer so I can get my fix. There is nothing like a good "Ruby" on a hot day!
