More of my classroom

Now that my classroom is starting to get things up on the walls, it looks pretty different!
Our classroom promise with our circle of friends and student materials (folders, pencils, paper, etc).
Our calendar area and math resources.

Our classroom library and reading/writing resources.

My desk area and the chart we use at the carpet.

Long Beach

Scott and I joined my family at Long Beach for the End of the World Classic Car Show. It was the first rod run Scott had ever been to and he LOVED it! We stayed at Cape Disappointment State Park...but sadly, we only made it to the beach for about 10 minutes total. Scott had never been to Long Beach before, so I showed him around. A trip to Long Beach wouldn't be complete without seeing Jake the Alligator Man! :)


On our drive home, we stopped at the Astoria Column. Sadly it was closed for repairs, so we couldn't climb to the top...but we still enjoyed the beautiful view of Astoria and the bridge!

Climbing Wind Mountain!

The first weekend in September, Scott, his dad (Steve), and I hiked Wind Mountain in the gorge. Scott and I had to take many breaks along the way, and thought we might not make it..but we made it to the top and the view was beautiful!

I'll have to take more pictures now that we're getting settled into our room...it looks much different with student work on the wall!

Wedding Season!

Scott and I started off at a friend from high school's wedding in Vancouver...Mallory and Jared!

Two weeks later we went to my friends, Anna and Tanner's, wedding in Seattle.

Elementary Education friends!

I was so lucky to take part in these beautiful days with such amazing friends!

Summer Adventures!

MARINERS GAMES
Scott and I attended around 6 baseball games over the summer! We went with friends and on our own...every time was so fun!At the July 4th game...we got free season tickets from a friend, so we were in the front row of the 300 level! :)
WHIDBEY ISLAND
After the 4th of July, Scott and I took a trip to Whidbey Island to visit my family at their beach house.
Scott held a baby crab for the first time...he was so cute. :)
ALKI ADVENTURES
Scott and I spent a few evenings over the summer at Alki. It is such a beautiful place to walk along the beach, watch the sunset, and eat yummy food! :)
FRIDAY HARBOR
Scott, his dad, Steve, and I took a ferry to Friday Harbor for the day. It was a beautiful day and we had many fun adventures looking at boats and exploring the town of Friday Harbor.
OCEAN SHORES
Our last big harrah of summer was a trip to the beach with all our friends.
We drove the "long way" around the peninsula and stopped at this huge cedar tree along the way!
Such an amazing summer!

My 23rd Birthday! :)

Wow, I haven't updated in awhile, so here goes! :)

For my birthday, Scott took me to the Melting Pot! Sarah was in town for the day, so she joined us for drinks and cheese fondu so we could celebrate our birthdays together (hers is the day before mine!).
My amazing friends in Seattle threw me a surprise party and Trudi made me the cutest teacher cake ever!
