Leaving Stepford

Amsterdam

March 9, 2010

I recently was reminiscing and going over photo’s with a student and I came across this photo I took in Amsterdam.  I love this photo!  There really were so many bikes in Amsterdam.  I wish I could go back now that I have a “fancy” camera.  I’m sure I’d get some even better shots.

Most asked question

February 19, 2010

When I got back from Florida, my students asked me this question, “Did you see an alligator?”  Not one student, not two students, but lots and lots of students. Answer: Yes.  I saw lots of alligators.  And they were boring, didn’t move, and looked fake.  And they were everywhere! We saw alligators at the Kennedy [...]

Jared’s Wedding

February 17, 2010

My baby cousin Jared got married!  That officially makes me the last one on that side of the family to be single.  I am also the only girl.  Weird.  I haven’t seen my cousins Jared, Jason, and my aunt Brenda, and uncle Mike for close to 9 years.  Pretty sad.  I’m glad that we were [...]

The Shuttle Launch (I almost saw)

February 16, 2010

So, when we scheduled our trip to Florida months ago, the Shuttle Endeavor was supposed to launch on Thursday, February 4th.  It then got bumped to Sunday, February 7th.  That was fine because we were still going to be in Florida.  I was so excited to see it.  This was the last night launch and [...]

NASA

February 15, 2010

While in Florida, we got to go to The Kennedy Space Center.  My aunt works for the company that makes the booster rockets on the shuttles and some other rockets.  I don’t really understand.  But anyways, she got us passes to go on a really cool bus tour of the NASA buildings.  While I took [...]

I’m BAAACK!

February 14, 2010

Did you miss me?  I missed you.  No, I really did.  I don’t really know who reads my blog unless you make comments, but I have a little tracker that tells me how many people a day look at my blog and I know you’re out there.   I just don’t know who you are. But [...]

64. Go to the Zoo

August 6, 2009

Today my aunts, cousins, mother, and I went to the Portland Zoo. It was really fun. I didn’t take very many pictures because my cousins took pictures. I’ve been there before, but it felt as though I was in a different zoo. However, we didn’t get to see any of the big cats: lions, cheetah, [...]

66. Build a Sand Castle

August 5, 2009

This week while my aunts and cousins are visiting us in Washougal, WA, we went to several beaches. I thought, “This would be a great time for be to do #66.” And we did. Okay, so we didn’t build a “sand castle” but we did build some really cute mamma and baby turtles and crabs! [...]

96. Sleep Under the Stars

July 15, 2009

I realized as I was updating my 101 Goals that I finished one while I was in Lake Powell – sleep under the stars. And we even got rained on one night. Yea! Okay, so this picture isn’t of me, but you can see a lovely shot of me just waking up in my previous [...]

Lake Powell

July 14, 2009

From June 28th to July 3rd I went to Lake Powell with my friend Christi and her family. It wasn’t the first time I have been to Lake Powell, but I don’t remember the first time (I was about 3 or 4) so it really felt like my first time. I loved it! We stayed [...]

Has Anyone Seen My Purple Bag?

December 26, 2008

The story I am about to tell you is true. So, last minute I quit my second job and bought a plane ticket to be home in Washington for Christmas. I’m starting to think that rash decisions are not good decisions. So, Portland (where I fly into) had been having ice storms and flights were [...]

Tuacahn

August 3, 2008

Teresa and I went to see Sound of Music and Les Miserables at Tuacahn Theater in St. George, Utah. Both were good, but I was dissapointed because they didn’t do the rotating stage for Les Miserables. However, I actually understood the words to Les Mis this time (last time I saw it in London) and [...]

Shakespearean Festival

August 3, 2008

This past week, my friend Teresa and I went to the Shakespearean Festival in Ceder City. Can you believe that I have never been before?!? A travesty to English teachers everywhere. While there we went to see Fiddler on the Roof and Taming of the Shrew. Yes, Fiddler is not from Shakespeare, but they always [...]

Zach, Zach, the Pyromaniac

August 3, 2008

This past week I spent a few days in Malta, Idaho (population 200), with my grandparents, mother, and extended family. One night my uncle was sitting and chatting with my grandparents when a lot of cars started passing the house, going down the lane, to his house. He said, “Why are all those people going [...]

Scottish Festival

June 14, 2008

Mandy, Christi, and I went to the Scottish Festival and Games at Thanksgiving Point today. It was really nice, but hot and we came home exhausted. There were bagpipes, kilts, dancing, and all sorts of “Scottish” things. I loved it! A Scot and two non-Scots. Beautiful bagpipers. We got floral wreaths for our hair with [...]

Summer School Field Trip

June 13, 2008

Today, we went on a field trip for summer school. In general, the kids were extremely hyper and out of control. You would think that they had never been on a field trip. The first place we went to was Kennecott Copper Mine. I have always loved the copper mine. I loved looking at the [...]
