It's been a long time since I last updated this, so
let's see if I can get you caught up with what I'm
doing, or have done. I have now been teaching for 5
years. This is my third year at Johnson Elementary
school. In those 5 years I've taught 4th, 5th and
currently I'm teaching 3rd grade.I am really enjoying
working as a teacher because you really can leave a
positive impression on the hearts and minds of young
people. I have a very supportive staff and principal
who are always there with a helping hand or kind word.
When I'm not at school I work part-time at the
McCallum Theater as an usher captain. This my second
season working. We have all types of entertainment
that come through the theater. It's a lot of fun, and
it's a nice diversion from my regular school day.
During the height of the season I work about 7 to 8
shows a month. I've seen all sorts of celebrities, so
it's kind of cool.
This summer I'm planning to teach summer school.
My sons Sean and Michael are flying in from Texas to
spend a few weeks this summer with me. I always enjoy
spending time with them because I really don't get to
see them all that much.I miss sharing in their
growing up,so the time that I do have with them is
very special.Sean will be a senior in high school
next year, and Michael will be in 8th grade. They do
grow up fast!
Later in the summer I will be traveling to Las
Cruces, New Mexico where we stay with friends and
just unwind before school starts up again. Las Cruces
is also where I got my bachelor's degree at New
Mexico State Unversity.
When I'm not so busy with teaching I enjoy
Renaissance faires, going to the beach, hiking, wine
tasting, going out for sushi, working out at the gym
(I'm a spinner!),going to the movies, reading a good
book, and traveling here and there. I've enjoyed
these things along with my significant other, Sharon.
We have been together for about 3 years. Perhaps we
will get married one day, but right now we are
comfortable with our present situation.
It would be great to hear from you and see what you
are up to. I know that all our lives are busy and
hectic, but I for one like rekindling old
friendships, and even making some new friends, so
keep it in mind. Let me know what's happening in your
neck of the woods. Take care to one and all.
