Matt and Jessica were the best hosts you could imagine. They live right outside the city and they couldn't have been nicer. They cooked dinner for us each night and woke up early to make us breakfast before out flight home. Matt helped us navigate the city by <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">mapping</span> out where we should go and which bus, train and road we should take the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">night</span> before. We were able to wonder all around Chicago with out getting lost. We went to all the free places we could think of which included the Chicago History <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Museum</span> and the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Lincoln</span> Park Zoo. I don't remember the last time I went any where like that with out a group of kids in matching red t-shirts. It was kind of fun to go as adults!! : )<br /></div><div align="center">Of course Josh wanted to check out the reptile <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">exhibit</span>... he was loving it!</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513551950772376930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdB_vUWYfO4RZZGbSXcPutUZ_EBGRmKKpi6_8eQkBMjDEMhrLwC3KEF0OuUFC3ST_3RyTwgwXRcHDr9m1lIsqf1Z-WiOPFp_8QbLmpYzevHDufaRjPmh9HxG-J3DDqz7WzElJGd72SQkXW/s320/CIMG9726.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513551942642802642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsD04TOlg7t1zxqphGZ_j53R8E6CycGMDYB-DVHWNlOKeLqUCA44xcfURgMVZ9AjmGeCC_JNmjjEQnqj6RfcDrCVfj1U22AL1YVroDEFyYyPbbtM0Gbz1rev2QVSKkzlNCcCFnnNccuq9r/s320/CIMG9727.JPG" /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj12dIFkFIMhlvpgUGxHePMQ9JCBtIMZknrnCepl_P5uZ86C888crIGvDT3_X9QRUZTQcFQSwFW1J4bEu65PgG0Zx7Gq7WR_fvqElEsT23tEpk1jx6qKK05ujyVK0btDl_jbODHnTsOmKl/s1600/CIMG9717.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513551935103260754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj12dIFkFIMhlvpgUGxHePMQ9JCBtIMZknrnCepl_P5uZ86C888crIGvDT3_X9QRUZTQcFQSwFW1J4bEu65PgG0Zx7Gq7WR_fvqElEsT23tEpk1jx6qKK05ujyVK0btDl_jbODHnTsOmKl/s320/CIMG9717.JPG" /></a>"Hey Everybody...

As fans of The Apprentice and of course the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">DT</span> himself... we decided we wanted to go and check it out. It's a beautiful building with hotel rooms and condos. There are door men there that carry your bags for you wearing white gloves. We tried to blend in just a little bit and went up to check out the view from the lounge. It was a great view of Navy Pier and we could see a clear view of Hotel 71's penthouse where we were the night before for the reception. Drinks were a little pricey so we didn't stay but it was fun to pretend we belonged there for just a few minutes.<br /></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpcEL0inb9NVYSeAJvFJDJLPcSoK8Qexv5HG_CsAwwlIYPLwDfljJrGxRfWTfTtBAh4_azhvzOZQdI8MhHq6aQWk4-7dIjNIMDFhMV6OBVooyEQY1TIsCi-WzQtrPjheH3YNYVhLb8QhPH/s1600/CIMG9700.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpcEL0inb9NVYSeAJvFJDJLPcSoK8Qexv5HG_CsAwwlIYPLwDfljJrGxRfWTfTtBAh4_azhvzOZQdI8MhHq6aQWk4-7dIjNIMDFhMV6OBVooyEQY1TIsCi-WzQtrPjheH3YNYVhLb8QhPH/s320/CIMG9700.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwHakXk4FWgEKQvBYAdo5q9Vm4Thll1ey48NBtN8znhsPyfLKErh0koLRw116ZykYmRiUPI-GYM2N2mNSQAMhhaaehvlFgVi_rYjDtr8pXl0ksSnW6NLNfHKp9AMeq55AvdJPGqixqTr2D/s1600/CIMG9705.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwHakXk4FWgEKQvBYAdo5q9Vm4Thll1ey48NBtN8znhsPyfLKErh0koLRw116ZykYmRiUPI-GYM2N2mNSQAMhhaaehvlFgVi_rYjDtr8pXl0ksSnW6NLNfHKp9AMeq55AvdJPGqixqTr2D/s320/CIMG9705.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyIZazsRn055UhRNmaAH5u6Rzr5eXUw_ckv_4Ysst-s5aI0BYVpJWhe8-6UcgEVnxfImxKbuoG7GIXF8tdVrb6DWS1MTglUk1vxfWuriGpXpW7m4eAvo3e7B1eggDbgOwBp6Yxwro9vdcH/s1600/CIMG9710.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyIZazsRn055UhRNmaAH5u6Rzr5eXUw_ckv_4Ysst-s5aI0BYVpJWhe8-6UcgEVnxfImxKbuoG7GIXF8tdVrb6DWS1MTglUk1vxfWuriGpXpW7m4eAvo3e7B1eggDbgOwBp6Yxwro9vdcH/s320/CIMG9710.JPG" /></a> </div>We had an awesome time in Chicago and we can't wait to go back... who knows when that will be but still!! : )<br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both"></div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469769446577399385.post-550153628814617242010-09-05T00:10:00.001-07:002010-09-05T00:10:53.401-07:00The Wedding<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d5467344d6a59314e44633d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox slideshow" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d5467344d6a59314e44633d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own slideshow - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/all/" target="_blank">Free digital slideshow</a> customized with Smilebox</td></tr></table>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469769446577399385.post-4752322722575727602010-09-04T19:59:00.000-07:002010-09-04T20:03:21.410-07:00Hot Chocolate<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijjltivv_j-MbinsgIzq-01js6bdGCHuHFTpULrlUbJQEZ3odBLTFAHpDAhR6kf9yDveXP8VTyjexdDhMzGKCsyofyAYZA04caO-D9Nzsk_eZhP2QY40VYHoL5uSF7jfjL6yQAcVDO1vA7/s1600/CIMG9592.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijjltivv_j-MbinsgIzq-01js6bdGCHuHFTpULrlUbJQEZ3odBLTFAHpDAhR6kf9yDveXP8VTyjexdDhMzGKCsyofyAYZA04caO-D9Nzsk_eZhP2QY40VYHoL5uSF7jfjL6yQAcVDO1vA7/s320/CIMG9592.JPG" /></a> </div><p align="center">Jackson had found this little restaurant on another Chicago trip and just had to take us there.

We had an amazing week and there are more pictures to come but for now, I have posted some pictures and video from the Rehearsal dinner. I have been to many Rehearsal Dinners but this one was by far the most beautiful. Kimberly and Evan have waited along time for this day and we have been waiting as well. Kimberly and her siblings all play the violin and they are amazing! Her Grandparents traveled all the way from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Taiwan</span> to be at the wedding so they took this opportunity to play for them. It was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">incredible</span>. I think the last time I heard Kim play was at my own wedding.

Josh, Brandon, Ian and Benjamin all wondered around the city and visited Ian's office while Jamie and I met up with Tara for a wonderful morning at Be Beauty. Tara and her friend Ju Ju opened an amazing little Spa just a year or so ago in Little Italy. I had been to see it during their wedding but I hadn't had a chance to experience any of their services. Jamie and I both got our toes done and I got my nails done. They have this amazing shellac nail polish that goes on thinker than regular nail polish and doesn't chip for at least 14 days. I was super excited to try it and it really was amazing! I got it on on Saturday morning and wore it all the way until the following Saturday when it looked just as good for a wedding in Chicago. The only reason I finally had to take it off was because it was growing out, it never did chip! The Spa is amazing and they also have an adorable boutique with cute dresses, bags, hair clips and jewelry. They just opened up an amazing out door gift shop as well with more home decor. If you are ever in the San Diego area you should really stop by because it's just Fabulous!!!!</p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.bebeautifully.com/">http://www.bebeautifully.com/</a></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji1iOd3VlaTR4t1_y4-8D_muCW9jZZMDieXWMgb2HR0S_ZBQAUj_cMRt2LJO31lRTlNlPf8bYwTf5_mo8qnKAOo-TdHDDzlriNafby8u4h1W7Zix7Jh0goZYYHkHcxSxkqnD-NxP0NxcRu/s1600/CIMG9539.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji1iOd3VlaTR4t1_y4-8D_muCW9jZZMDieXWMgb2HR0S_ZBQAUj_cMRt2LJO31lRTlNlPf8bYwTf5_mo8qnKAOo-TdHDDzlriNafby8u4h1W7Zix7Jh0goZYYHkHcxSxkqnD-NxP0NxcRu/s320/CIMG9539.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUcCkCFy69czpEN_SeidjDFxHhNq2-n4C0MzpzozSmMV0RrIcsmxNLLjZJa5z8WMR-ko7o_XRFPibOuvDsbkl7B3ASGqEF9KMQaskh-AgiI9BINqHNIHxvg357KkAw7bStkrCmuLL-PYN/s1600/CIMG9543.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUcCkCFy69czpEN_SeidjDFxHhNq2-n4C0MzpzozSmMV0RrIcsmxNLLjZJa5z8WMR-ko7o_XRFPibOuvDsbkl7B3ASGqEF9KMQaskh-AgiI9BINqHNIHxvg357KkAw7bStkrCmuLL-PYN/s320/CIMG9543.JPG" /></a> </div><p align="center">Jamie and I felt so good after our morning at the spa!<br /></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-QXI4ss3kgaUBC4iXjUtuqinC44kj7E-xCrU4itzq51aogi66Gd8ErxhavaMch4cMt-sCsFTGx64i9XqJ0MHujKC7eYOBsBOymWGDjR6d2n71P87FKy5rwSX4-TG75jb2q0saWUqzv7u5/s1600/CIMG9531.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-QXI4ss3kgaUBC4iXjUtuqinC44kj7E-xCrU4itzq51aogi66Gd8ErxhavaMch4cMt-sCsFTGx64i9XqJ0MHujKC7eYOBsBOymWGDjR6d2n71P87FKy5rwSX4-TG75jb2q0saWUqzv7u5/s320/CIMG9531.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" align="center">Jamie and Benjamin walking down the street right in front of Be Beauty, what a beautiful location!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469769446577399385.post-8087210165239288462010-08-16T15:45:00.000-07:002010-08-16T16:00:10.852-07:00Dog Friendly<div align="center"><br /> </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px" align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKa9ZO6d7H3mhHcQ4TA2lZ7G2_Chf3Is4wXfikQ73CzlHTmsIAp_84L6z3egumK5paiz_Aw4p1ielWzqlo1QwePCVjV4A1g9dkZjfQJ_tIsLil2ZQ_HLnwgsfctveVPcP7zGTC_TQTKSud/s1600/CIMG9526.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKa9ZO6d7H3mhHcQ4TA2lZ7G2_Chf3Is4wXfikQ73CzlHTmsIAp_84L6z3egumK5paiz_Aw4p1ielWzqlo1QwePCVjV4A1g9dkZjfQJ_tIsLil2ZQ_HLnwgsfctveVPcP7zGTC_TQTKSud/s320/CIMG9526.JPG" /></a> </div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center">Emily and Alan graciously opened their home to Josh and I as well as Buddy and Boo. It was so much fun getting to stay with them and be able to spend sometime together. Emily and Alan have a little dog named Corby so one night we took all three dogs out for dinner. They found this funny little BBQ restaurant that is actually dog friendly. There is an indoor area for people with no dogs but the outside patio is seating for people and dogs alike. The BBQ food was delicious but not only that, the owner would bring around fresh bones for each dog to chew on while their people ate. It was a really fun and really strange experience eating out with our dogs.<br /></p><div align="center"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px" align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw-vSsr_1w-X3hS1lhyphenhyphenq7G2m4gzrJ_VXAqcZBSHmR-jecwNuFuoNN5FRS_pjxs9vuIpI77UyzWmNW-6IBIOmSnvc2e31wGKTjU5StCObBLEyQnCQFSWRmZLouBvydm34vBtuB8CPoVVMFg/s1600/CIMG9527.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw-vSsr_1w-X3hS1lhyphenhyphenq7G2m4gzrJ_VXAqcZBSHmR-jecwNuFuoNN5FRS_pjxs9vuIpI77UyzWmNW-6IBIOmSnvc2e31wGKTjU5StCObBLEyQnCQFSWRmZLouBvydm34vBtuB8CPoVVMFg/s320/CIMG9527.JPG" /></a> </div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px" align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV7ikEegJ7SwziX9dYWui9DwRKum7ct3zq9PUqwN8e0sTXRn5FnMKD1y7avnFuPSOe5X36Gb6Cuze-2LNqqxKPP9yC0vI_x1aCRtHhPreCXcARwmcfzNLxzFvw0deR1Ql6uTjJ0GJYrpVr/s1600/CIMG9521.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV7ikEegJ7SwziX9dYWui9DwRKum7ct3zq9PUqwN8e0sTXRn5FnMKD1y7avnFuPSOe5X36Gb6Cuze-2LNqqxKPP9yC0vI_x1aCRtHhPreCXcARwmcfzNLxzFvw0deR1Ql6uTjJ0GJYrpVr/s320/CIMG9521.JPG" /></a> </div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center">Buddy had never experienced something so wonderful!!! : )<br /></p><div align="center"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px" align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOnad8s9cg8Q9LI4zMLDqKuzc4YDrl5CIlSFhiEUFnSxFKyDRLeHeNA_RDFKOuFmwmzjLHpEqfG3NtSF6Isf30JvBxT45ikeWkxO47iFcatOTa5DcObbWpbTEf69nntp10wmdJJXjfFPP5/s1600/CIMG9524.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOnad8s9cg8Q9LI4zMLDqKuzc4YDrl5CIlSFhiEUFnSxFKyDRLeHeNA_RDFKOuFmwmzjLHpEqfG3NtSF6Isf30JvBxT45ikeWkxO47iFcatOTa5DcObbWpbTEf69nntp10wmdJJXjfFPP5/s320/CIMG9524.JPG" /></a> </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" align="center">Boo on the other had was a little traumatized by the 4 German Shepherds sitting at the next table, they were sweet dogs but to Boo, they were GIANTS!!

Oh, and who are always there for us to help us figure out what to do when life throws us lemons!!! </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI-Vv__MYlRhli0BD577jdy4UdSpxJYKUM_wY2W0egfGSafms_DMDElnTWvbER5-gmyghm9iCxPujeN9rsLz-LACuu2Pe_KhG6TG4weWtHtjRUExVw-l2FhsUonZm3SI4Jwk7fZ05zqFPN/s1600/CIMG9321.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI-Vv__MYlRhli0BD577jdy4UdSpxJYKUM_wY2W0egfGSafms_DMDElnTWvbER5-gmyghm9iCxPujeN9rsLz-LACuu2Pe_KhG6TG4weWtHtjRUExVw-l2FhsUonZm3SI4Jwk7fZ05zqFPN/s320/CIMG9321.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoDwBJrMzMtEf3eICDdKAZo8WuP9g0F-W6JZ58rX7hSMXNuy3RCJS8IqWtGLuqCsiPlhAl5eb-9npM5Z8Q-ZvVo963MQ2Y6biV8wqUo8nPWdnsF0tXX1TmKAQTMBroSMSbc1GDp-Uh1yuf/s1600/CIMG9325.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoDwBJrMzMtEf3eICDdKAZo8WuP9g0F-W6JZ58rX7hSMXNuy3RCJS8IqWtGLuqCsiPlhAl5eb-9npM5Z8Q-ZvVo963MQ2Y6biV8wqUo8nPWdnsF0tXX1TmKAQTMBroSMSbc1GDp-Uh1yuf/s320/CIMG9325.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwWt6TUa4KieSJt3OStI2MTt-KCP1yKCYRBz_8FrkX_wAzX7bgGnOgok8zxJ8nhm1lToVtV1qd70OBtn6CP2f4GTr2AKB9gYTC5WF2f1_LkEVKac5h9WXaw09CSQJEQmQT-boB55ZUUZ_/s1600/CIMG9326.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwWt6TUa4KieSJt3OStI2MTt-KCP1yKCYRBz_8FrkX_wAzX7bgGnOgok8zxJ8nhm1lToVtV1qd70OBtn6CP2f4GTr2AKB9gYTC5WF2f1_LkEVKac5h9WXaw09CSQJEQmQT-boB55ZUUZ_/s320/CIMG9326.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKWPBgX7R8XU-Z4A_ohtQnVG7U4-wss0XW5t3wx9Ru7hGE3xfh0pUg5I4YII2Me7XJ5jgKuFiwWZRDeXl9tP8VukaQlOq3CC8w8m5b9d3gi0R8mt6aRJbBE_NW3V1CR6DQQk3oJJLKYxba/s1600/CIMG9327.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKWPBgX7R8XU-Z4A_ohtQnVG7U4-wss0XW5t3wx9Ru7hGE3xfh0pUg5I4YII2Me7XJ5jgKuFiwWZRDeXl9tP8VukaQlOq3CC8w8m5b9d3gi0R8mt6aRJbBE_NW3V1CR6DQQk3oJJLKYxba/s320/CIMG9327.JPG" /></a> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469769446577399385.post-39235658033028285192010-06-29T23:00:00.000-07:002010-06-29T23:14:51.335-07:00Andy's Graduation Party<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px">Last weekend we kicked off the Summer by heading to beautiful Arroyo Grande California for a weekend of celebrations.

I had these kids when they were 4th graders and I remember thinking that I would go to their graduation some day. It came so much faster than I ever expected it to. They are not little kids any more. In fact, most of them are taller than I am, even with my heals on. I am so proud of them and it was so much fun to be there for their special day!! It was fun to see the families as well. Being a teacher can truly be a very hard job but, on days like these it really is rewarding. I feel so lucky to have been a small part of their journeys, I know they were truly a huge part of mine!! </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469769446577399385.post-71843711791554156432010-06-23T00:11:00.000-07:002010-06-23T00:15:38.986-07:00My Little Class<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNxDbKPuN7sqIxfaEAEX5b_U3L7xVEY4jljVoDzGc_sLDkwMucbFo5AnwmiWXkGftEQD8mVercmqdFrN3TMb4aSsTWW1i7i1yKu2xnw1PAJKa4I7WEXYVzL_inMDtAwrWCv2kkxb_iv5jF/s1600/CIMG9155.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNxDbKPuN7sqIxfaEAEX5b_U3L7xVEY4jljVoDzGc_sLDkwMucbFo5AnwmiWXkGftEQD8mVercmqdFrN3TMb4aSsTWW1i7i1yKu2xnw1PAJKa4I7WEXYVzL_inMDtAwrWCv2kkxb_iv5jF/s320/CIMG9155.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both">School is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">officially</span> out for the Summer which I am very excited about but it was hard to say good bye to my little students <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">because</span> I know when I see them again in the Fall they will have grown and changed so much.
