Day One

Day one of school...followed by the gym...followed by a Trails meeting...followed by a lovely Vietnamese dinner = tired. Getting excited for day two tomorrow!

Hokie Football

Once again we have started the season with a heartbreak. At some point Hokie football is going to have to make the decision if they want to contend for the National Championship. That might mean an offensive overhaul. Time to move on to Marshall. Hopefully game 2 will be better.

Long Time...No Blog

Well. There is nothing to say but...life has been busy. So many things have happened. My fabulous Aunt Jenny married an awesome man. Summer is coming to a close...school starts on Tuesday! I think that I am ready. The classroom is in order. Lesson plans are coming together. My lcd is hooked up and ready to go. I cannot express how lucky I am to work in a school system with so many resources. I have more books and materials than I could ever use in one school year, a caseload that most special education teachers would only dream about, and colleagues that are energetic/intelligent/amazing teachers! The business is coming together...heading out today to decide on a name...then it will be time to order business cards and design the website! I promise to keep you informed. In the meantime please spread the word about our soon to be fabulous social skills group! More to come.

Excitement in the air!

I would just like to say...I am so very excited. A friend and I are starting up a social skills group for kids with autism here in town! Now we need to decide on a name. So far we have ARCHES (advancing relationships in children with exceptional social needs) or TRAILS (teaching relationship and individual language skills). Any ideas for different names or comments would be appreciated! :) Happy Wednesday!

Fun weekend one...followed by fun weekend two!

So...Chris and I headed down to NC this past weekend to see Neal and Stephanie's new house. We had a great time! We hit the beach with the dogs, ate crab legs, visited the Sand Bar, and Chris got a Wii bowling injury from trying too hard to beat Neal! It was such fun. Now...Ma and Sara are coming in tomorrow...Dad will meet up with us tomorrow night and we are all heading to NY to see Aunt Jenny and Sean get married! Too bad Chris can't take off work. It won't be quite as fun without my 80's dance partner.

Twilighter...

Well...Sarah and officially finished the 5k! We had a great time...although our official time was no where close to the fastest female time of 16 minutes. I mean...seriously...who runs that fast! We've had a great weekend...too bad tomorrow is Sunday.

Concert Central

Chris and I are very excited...we will be heading to see Sugarland and then the Killers all in the same month! Woohoo!
