What's up with us

Sorry I'm not real good at posting pictures/comments in an orderly fashion....I do want to give a quick update as to what we're up to...

I started a new school year at Granada (my 6th year teaching!) and am really enjoying it so far. It's amazing how busy it gets-all you teachers out there know what I mean when I say that you are never done...I imagine we're not the only job that feels that way. :) I do have great students and teach in a wonderful school. I'm really enjoying some of the friendships I'm making with teachers near me.

Curtis is still loving doing full time youth ministry. We have a great group of teens. Our junior high students just returned from a weekend missions trip to San Francisco. It was such an amazing time for them. Curtis was so impressed with the hearts of these kids!

Curtis and I have recently become quite hooked on "The Office". We don't get tv at home, but in the last 2+ weeks have managed to watch every single episode done so far by renting, borrowing, and watching the seasons on line. We now spend much of our together time quoting the Office. My personal favorite character is Dwight....I mean, seriously. My favorite prank I think is when Jim and Pam put his stuff in the vending machine and then Pam bought his pencil cup....and of course, the office romance is the best! If you don't watch the show, you really should...but it's definately not kid humor, so put those kids to bed first!!

Anyhow, I'll let y'all go....but we are doing great down here in Livermore!

Just a few more...

While I'm at it, I'm going to include a few other pictures....

Curtis' sister Erin and I in San Francisco (I had such a good time with you Erin!), a couple pics of us this summer in Oregon, and a few pictures of our life here in Livermore....

Disneyland

Curtis and I flew down to LA a couple of weeks ago for a quick DIsneyland trip with my parents and Becca. We had a blast! I hadn't been to DIsneyland with my family in years, and it was fun to share that with Curtis, too. We had a blast riding Splash Mountain, Soaring over California, Indiana Jones...Bec and I screamed and laughed on Mulholland Drive. We shared a giant piece of chocolate cake at the Golden HOrseshoe review (my family has a crazy knack of getting called up on stage in that show-this year it was my turn!), etc. I love these snippets of time we get to steal away with my family. Thanks for a wonderful time, guys!

Here are some pics to commemorate our time...
