Memorial Day Weekend

I spent Memorial Day Weekend in Seattle with Scott. We had a great time! On Friday we went to Leavenworth for the day and even though it rained the whole time we still had fun looking through all the little shops. We found these funny hats at one shop (hopefully we don't get head lice from trying them on! eek!):
We also found these silly hamburger and hot dog hats:

On Saturday we went to the Woodland Park Zoo. It's something we've both wanted to do for awhile and when it ended up being such a beautiful day we decided it was a perfect day to go! It is such a beautiful zoo and we saw some amazing animals!
Sunday we headed up to Bellingham to visit friends and partake in the annual Ski to Sea festival. In my four years in Bellingham I had never checked out this festival and I was so glad to finally be able to go. It was another amazing and beautiful day which made the festival just that much more fun. There was also a car show at Boulevard Park which Scott thoroughly enjoyed! On our drive home we took Chuckanut Dr and stopped at Larrabee Park to watch the sunset...it was gorgeous.


On Monday we met up with our friends Megan and Josh for lunch and some shopping at IKEA! It was such a fun and relaxing day...perfect for the end of our long weekend. :)

My New Job!

A couple weeks ago I got offered a job in the Evergreen School District! It was a 2nd grade position at a brand new school that will be opening in the fall, so of course, I accepted! The school is called Endeavour and it will be a great experience opening a new school with a great new staff....a lot more work, especially as a first year teacher, but it will be fun! I'm also excited that it will be in 2nd grade...it's my favorite grade and it'll be nice to use what I learned in my internship. While I'm really excited for this new adventure I'm also sad that I won't be up in the Seattle area with Scott and my friends...maybe next year.
