Summer Time!

It is been a while, yes, I know!

The latest update
- I am graduated with a masters (obviously)
- I have finished a school year from .... (I have spent this last week cleaning up and out of my classroom - I had a lot of stuff)
- And now it is time to relax, and do some amazing things this summer!

This weekend Eric and I are celebrating our 3rd year anniversary. It is a big surprise for Eric, so I have to keep it a secret a little while longer. Keep watching ... I post it next week. :)

Last week, we had our neighbor come over with his excavator and cleared out and burned those massive pile s in the back. What is left? The largest pile of ash I have ever seen. He is coming back this weekend to do some more clearing for us as well as for the neighbor on our other side (he wants cleared pasture land for cows).


The last pile... Our neighbor is pooped... hahaha
This last one was taken from our back porch. If you look really close, you can see Eric between the smoldering pile and one of the excavator's buckets. These fires lasted from Friday afternoon at 2 till the following Tuesday when they finaly stopped smoking.

It was way to hot to cook smores...

Graduation Day

June 9th, 2006, 10 am, Tacoma Dome. I officially have my MEd. Yeah!

See the red head (Rachel) in the second row, middle? I'm to her right... the one with the super long hair.

Ryan and I graduated from the Ed Program at St. Martin's together exactly 5 years ago. Here we are again, at UWT, now with our MEd.

We're Graduated!! We went to celebrate by the waterfront in Ruston Way with family and friends!


At last, I have no more papers to write, no more classes to attend, no more late nights, no more taking notes. I can finally relax..... better yet, crash.

Im There

As of Yesterday at 4pm, I am officially graduated from my 2 year long Masters in Education program from University of Washington, Tacoma. The photo is of an all time Proffesor, who has just signed off on my final project. More to come! I 'walk' on Friday at the Tacoma Dome.

As an added treat, I 'won' a mariners ticket for last night's game!
