Finally finished!
Okay, so I never use this thing but I figured I'd update the very few of you who might actually read it. I'm finally done with my Master's degree in Education and teaching credential! It is so nice to be done and finally get to have my own classroom. Now, of course, the big question is where I'll end up working. I've been looking in Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Washington, and of course, California (although California isn't hiring as much as these other states). Any suggestions on where you think I should go? I'll be applying for teaching postions over the next few weeks and hopefully be flying out for interviews this summer. Here's hoping I end up somewhere I'll be happy! :)

Student Teaching....Finally!
I know, I know, I never post on this thing but I figured I'd better start again at least for a little while. :) Well, I'm finally starting my student teaching this semester at......Woodland Park Middle School! Yep, it's the same place I taught at last year but this time I'm actually finishing my Masters program and credential by teaching subjects I actually know/like!
I'll be teaching 2 periods of Language Arts, 2 periods of Ancient World History, 1 period of World History, and 1 period of U.S. History. For the very few teachers I know out there who might be reading this, yes, I will have a lot of prep work cut out for me but I'm just too excited to be moving forward with my career to care all that much! :)
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and enjoyed their holidays. Now onward and upward!

FAMILY REUNION
So this last weekend was pretty hectic. We went to Utah for a 4th of July family reunion and my cousin Tara's wedding. Needless to say, we were running all over the place! I just thought I'd share some pictures of the weekend's happenings for the very few of you who might care. :) The first few are us hiking the Y mountain in Provo. (That was quite the experience! Ugh!) The others are some of the family reunion pictures we took. These are just snapshots since we actually had a professional photographer there who probably took much better ones. Anyway, enjoy!
Hiking the Y. I always seem to be out of shape when we do this activity.....

MORE CRUISE PICTURES.....
Cuz you just didn't get enough the first post, admit it! :)
More Moore's (and Vandevegtes) on the beach.
You can't go to Mexico without a trip to Senor Frogs!
Outside of Senor Frogs.
This was outside a club that ran up along a really pretty beach in Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa. Notice what you have to walk under to get inside. Too funny!
Pictures by one of the pools on the ship.
The finest dining ever! This is on one of the formal nights. I think our dinners together were some of my favorite times on the ship.
The best servers ever! These two were hilarious and a lot of fun.
A formal night photo.
Riley, our room service guy! He was from Jamaica and was extremely funny! These guys really take care of you.CRUISE PICTURES....
Okay, so I've actually gotten some requests for pictures of the cruise my family and I went on in March so, here they are! I'm not the most photogenic person in the world but my siblings sure are. :) We had the greatest time! Now let's see if this works.....
Here's the family on the first day. The ship hasn't left the harbor yet so we were just wandering around and eating. (Notice Tanner already has a bowl of ice cream)
