My "Classroom"

So here is the room I will be working in this year...it's actually a trailer. It is quite empty, but since I will be student teaching in January I didn't want to do too much to it! It works for the kids...they are only in here for 30 mins in the morning and afternoon. I can't believe how stressful the first two weeks have been! Sorry I have neglected the blog!

Here is Nick before braces...with braces...and as of today, August 26th, without braces! Yea! He's very happy to have them off but he still feels a little weird :) He wore them for about a year and a half. The first picture is at our wedding. The second is in December of 07. The last was today...the day they were taken off. I didn't notice when I first got home from school today but then I saw a paper from the dentist and it hit me and now I can't stop looking at them :) Doesn't he look great :) !!!

Nick was BUSY while I was away!

So...my hallway is almost finished. We are waiting on the floor to be fixed underneath the house, so no baseboards yet. Nick's favorite room in the house is waiting on carpet and baseboards of course...but I think that also has to do with the floor too. And finally the one complete room...our bedroom. Although I am working on some kind of art and probably a small crown molding. But the carpet is in and it all looks great!

I am also trying to convince Nick to let me paint the kitchen so that it matches the hallway...but we'll see what happens!

Hanauma Bay Snorkeling

The view from the top. Hanauma Bay is a beautiful place! It is a live reef with lots of amazing fish to see!
It was about a five minute walk down to the beach. There was plenty of room for all of the people and there were a lot of people! Once you got out in the bay though you didn't see anyone.
We didn't get to see any whales because they come in the winter, but all of the other fish and ocean animals were great!
