Boy's Sleepover at the Q Day 2

We took a quick trip to Seaside. It was my first time. We had a blast! It only took about an hour to get there. The boys got to swing on the sand and try out bumper cars.

Boy's Sleepover at the Q Day 1

We had the boys over for the weekend( well actually just Saturday night). We lucked out on the weather so the boys had a light saber fight in Central Park( a park across the street from our house). The we went to visit Futbon and Comcoly, kids of friends of ours. The watched Coraline in 3-D. After the visit we went to Krispy Kreme for some yummy treats. Then they boys needed to brush their teeth after to get ready for bed.

Update on Our Life at the Q (our new home)

Last Friday Fode had an interview for the job he has had at PCC. This has been a dream job for him because he is working in the department that is his focus for school, Facilities Maintenance, so he gets paid to learn what he loves. I mean it, he has turned into a total nerd about Boilers, Condensers and other HVAC stuff. He took over someone position last January and has been considered a temporary employee since. They finally officially posted the job and he applied and had the interview Friday morning. Around 4pm Friday they called to offer him the job! We were thrilled. This means he is now considered a full employee and gets benefits and is part of the classified union. One of the best benefits is waived tuition!

On Saturday we had a house warming party to show off our place to family and friends. We had family, friends and co-workers stop by to check out our newly settled home. It was so much fun to host a party, but it wiped me out! Thanks to those who came and helped out!

Today I had a big day at my school. I had three people from the Oregon Department of Education come into my classroom to observe me teach a science lesson. The Beaverton School District is being audited for their ESL program, a standard three year audit. I was totally nervous to be observed, but it all went well! My class was great and my Student Teacher was a great cheerleader for me.

We've been Invaded!

We finally hung our Quilt!

Staci made this beautiful quilt for our Wedding back in 2003. We have been working on hanging it up in our new house since we moved. Today we were motivated to get it done, even though it is hot in our house. Little by little we are getting settled in.
