Tulsa girls' trip--day 1

We spent most of the day traveling on Thursday. Believe it or not, driving through Kansas & Oklahoma is pretty much like driving through Nebraska, except Oklahoma has red dirt.

One stop along the long drive was in Wichita where we stopped at the Museum of World Treasures. This started as a private collection & has amassed into a collection from 2600 B.C. to modern day. It really covers a lot of material. Could have spent a lot longer there.

The attached pics are from the museum. They actually had a full sized t-rex that the little kids liked.

Birthday surprise

Since I'll be on a girls' trip on my birthday, Josh made a romantic meal for me tonight. This was a HUGE deal! He made Chicken Parmesan, we had a dry red wine (my favorite!), candles, a lace tablecloth, and soft music in the background. The evening was truly magnificent.

No the photo isn't our back yard, but we did recently visit Sioux Falls.

Eight more days

Winding down the school year...only 8 more days!!! Yea! And, to top it off, seniors were done on Friday. That makes life so much nicer. But of course, there are always some who have to come back; doesn't matter what year it is.

'Til the end of the year...

NETA conference

I have found so many cool new tools while at NETA in Omaha. In fact, I'm going to use one of them below.

When I return on Monday to school, we will play the jackpot to see who is celebrating Marvelous Monday.

Have a fabulous day. I'll try to add an additional post later in the day if the internet is working better--guess that just adds to the addage that if the technology is only as good as the system.

Snow Day

Here it is, the 31st of March and I'm at home because of a snow day. How great is teaching?!

Busy next few weeks as the school year wraps up. I told someone yesterday that if we were able to get a snow day today I would be productive and a) bake cookies, b) finish orders, c) take a nap. So far none are done, but it's not even noon yet.

Maybe I'll modify & bake a sheetcake pan of cookie bars, group my speech scripts into a lump sum amount that I can order next year, and still get my nap.

If anyone is free this weekend we will be celebrating Josh's birthday. You are more than welcome to attend! Maybe I'll even post pictures later this weekend. ;)
