SUNSHINE!

It has been soooo nice these past couple days, and we are expecting more of it! We came in to this weekend with absolutely no plans, and it feels awesome. I'm thinking about taking advantage of the sun (as I should) and lay out by the pool to get my tan on! Which I need, I'm as white as a ghost. 


I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far!

Oops, I took too long to post! Sorry...

I definitely should have posted a long time ago, I'm sure whoever is reading this is wondering how our first week went at work! I will let Matt tell his own since he now has an admin to post on here, but here was mine:

My first day was extremely overwhelming...to the point of me not even being sure I was going to like it there. I had a lot of information thrown at me, a lot of names, a lot of expectations to follow, on top of trying to be as impressive as I could be. But hey, it's like that for any job right?

The second day went better, I was sent out on a "buddy lunch" with a coworker on the company's credit card which was fun. I started to memorize children's names, and some co-workers (it is a large center so there are a lot!) 

Day three, I learned how to drive a small bus around the city of Bellevue and on some highways. I actually enjoyed that! Since I used to drive my enormous truck, this felt way smaller and easier to drive. 

Day four and five felt like actual work days. I was put into a few classrooms alone with the children (mostly the school-age) and they all seem to like me! YAY! I am not as overwhelmed as I was at the beginning, but the need to impress is still on my shoulders which can still make my days difficult. 

This weekend, my family came up and stayed in our apartment with us. It was overly crowded, but I loved it. It felt great to have them up here, to be lazy, relax, and we went to see the King Tut exhibit! It was fun and very interesting. It's still hard for me to say goodbye to them, but Matt and I were talking about trying to make it down at the end of July, so maybe we'll see you all then! If not, then we are for sure coming back in August (the 23rd through the 26th). 

Much love to you all!
