birthday week and teaching news

Summer has been really fun, going to Vegas, barbecues, Lagoon, swimming...and this week for my birthday we have decided to do the SLC connect pass. By doing 2 days, we get the third day free, so we're going to try and do it all: discovery gateway, clark planetarium, Lion House for lunch, This is the Place park (my personal FAVORITE), Hogle Zoo, Living Planet Aquarium and Thanksgiving Point. Okay, that's not really ALL that's included with the pass (there's lots more), but it seems like a lot to me! I'm very excited, and I'm sure many photos are to come from those adventures.
-----------------------
I have been running more 5k races, and have improved my time once again. I actually got third in my age division in the 5k on the 3rd, so we'll see if I can beat that time. My time was 26:30 and my new goal is 26 flat.
-------------------------
But my BIG news for now is that I got a teaching job. I will be teaching French at the local high school (sorry, public blog). It was a hard decision, because my old job at the junior high wanted me back. And I miss that job a lot, so I was very tempted. But the schedule at the High School will be much better for my family, since I will only be working every other day (A/B day schedule:). I had my interview with the High School this morning, and they called an hour later to offer me the job. Say yay!
------------------------
Ooh, and can I brag about an awesome date I went on the other night? We had gotten some fun date stuff from our ward auction, so after a fun family day swimming at the surf-n-swim, we used the free babysitting pass and headed out on the town. We went to Boston's for dinner, played laser tag (I got creamed, and I'm pretty sure the guy running it even shot Joel a couple times for me), then we went to a Colors concert in the park, and then rented a movie afterwards. It was SO much fun! I still love Colors, and am so sad they have parted ways. But it was fun to see them together again, even just for one night. I heard they're doing a real reunion concert on Sept. 11, so in case you're interested, I'm sure you could google it. Anyway, I had a fun fun date with my cute cute hubby.

Sorry, random post, I know...

We did the SLC connect pass last year with Mitch's family - and it was a lot of fun, especially for the kids. I wish Maryland had something equivalent, TOTALLY worth it.

Even though I already said it on Facebook, congrats on your time - that's freaking incredible and real motivating for me ;)!

And Happy Belated!!!
