Twas' the night before the first day of school...

We were able to hang out with Jeanne and Richard tonight.  We ate crabs "Maryland crab style" and caught up on things.  It was nice to relax and get away from the school work for a bit.

We are ready (well not really) and excited (and kinda sad because our summer vacation is over) because school starts tomorrow!  Wish us luck :)

jewelry party

My friend Kristin and her sister had a Premier Jewelry party tonight. 

It was so nice to get out of the house and do something other than school work.

Krstin the model

This was all the lady's personal jewelry.  She had sooo much!

school school school...

Kirby and I have been working at school from early morning to the evening.  We come home and talk about school for hours (and I'm not exaggerating...at least 2 hours last night).  We are even going to do SCHOOL work this weekend.

It's been all.about.school!

 Good thing we love what we do!

I'm excited to do a few "non-school related" things this weekend though.  I'm going to Kristin's jewelry party tonight and on Sunday Kirby and I are going to some friend's for dinner.  I'm looking forward to enjoying some time with friends before the big day Monday.... the first day of school!!

Open House

Tonight we had Open House at school and I was able to meet some of my students!  It was a great night and it made me even more excited for this school year!

Check out our classroom (Surf's Up in 608) blog to meet some of my students.

One of my students from last year, Charlton, stopped by to see me too.

8 is great!

Meet my planning team...

Today was a super productive school day for Kirby and I!  He had to go down to Myrtle Beach for Project Adventure training and I worked in my classroom and planned for the first week of school with my team.  Tomorrow is Open House at our school from 4-6, so I'm excited to meet some of my students!

7 dwarfs

Not much time for an update...I'm exhausted!

Don't worry though (I'm sure you aren't too worried), you aren't missing much with us lately.  We have been at school all day long working on getting things ready for Monday. 

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Monday FUNday

It's only Monday and I feel like I've been working on school stuff all week already!  It was a long day at school but another productive one!  I was able to cross several things off my to-do-list.  Tomorrow will be another long day, starting with our meeting with the superintendent at NMB High School.  I sent out an email to my students/parents this evening to welcome them back and introduce myself.  I get to meet them on Thursday at Open House and I can't wait!
