The main highlight of this last week was a birthday gathering for one of my favorite people, my cousin! We went to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner then sent the kidlets home with the grandparents so we could play. We went bowling and then went and found dessert at TGI Friday. Brownies are yummy!
A week and a half ago I was honored at a banquet. It was held by the Utah Science Teachers Association and they recognized me as being one of two finalists for my PAEMST award (nope, still haven't heard the final verdict on that one yet). Sure they spelled my name wrong on the certificate, but it's shiny and I got a Visa gift card and two free tickets to the local aquarium (who should I take on a date to the aquarium?)! I have another banquet this Friday. This one is held by the state office of education (who should I take on a date to a banquet that my boss will be at?).
Last Monday was interesting...but not in a good way...I don't want to talk about it...I'm not happy...the people who have heard about it know that I was fuming for quite awhile. Sorry...no details...too many people could be reading this and then feelings may be hurt.
On another note...I've been asked to help train the 6th grade teachers in my district about the new math core we've adopted. A bunch of people are freaking out about it, they're acting as though the world is coming to an end. Really, it's scary because it's all technical and stuff and once you start using your reading comprehension skills and go deeper, you can see that it's basically the same as before...just different. Preparing for all of the training meetings and pre-training meetings is taking up a bunch of time, but it's kind of fun.
The ward came over to my complex tonight to watch a movie. We were supposed to go to the dollar theater and watch the latest Narnia movie but it was sold out. We ended up watching Toy Story 3. Afterwards, a few people came over to my house and we had ice cream while we chatted. It was kind of sad that these people didn't know exactly where I lived as they'd never been to my house before, but we had fun and more plans have been planned. I don't have many people over all the time...I should fix that.
Time for bed so I can get started on my next busy week. If you want to do something, just let me know in advance so I can get some things planned around it :)
