I am looking forward to seeing how the student's do in my health class tomorrow. I gave my first quiz today and they did fairly well overall. I am looking forward to becoming better at teaching this year by gaining more experience. The students here are pretty friendly overall.
Here is a picture of me from behind the chain-link fence on my softball field here at M.V.A. I am looking forward to getting the students all gloves so we can hike up here to the field and play some softball.
I am looking forward to seeing Grandma and Grandpa this weekend. They are only 3 1/2 hours away from here, so it will be trip I hope to make a few more times this year. I know it will be busy though, so I need to take advantage of traveling every singe chance I get. I had to throw in a picture of the beautiful slopes of Copper. There truly is no comparison. For anyone who has any doubts, the only way to find out is to go there for yourself. Colorado offers the most beautiful scenes and some of the best world-class skiing in world. So head on over to the slopes this season and check it out for yourself. In the picture here you can see American Eagle life on the left and the SuperPipe on the right and the huge jump.
Here is a picture of myself and Xavier. This trip to Copper was the last time we actually hung out for very long before we both left Collegedale because of my student teaching and then summer camp. I am in Mt. Vernon now, Xavier is at AUC in South Lancaster about 45 minutes away from Boston, John Locke is in Korea, and I don't even know where John Jones is working at, he may still be in Collegedale. Jonathan Morua is finishing his last semester at Southern as he will be graduating in December. Listening to Jack Johnson here at the computer brings back good memories of the 2 summers at Alamisco and Nosoca. I will always think back on the good times of basketball at the church courts, wakeboarding, Taco Bell, jet skiing, and everything else with a smile. Good times.

Hi Ryan, Dad here. It is nice to see the new pictures. Is the picture through the fence the one I took when we were checking out the field?

I didn't remember that you got to see a car show. When was that?

Maybe as you use the field more it will help remove the grass on the infield. It always seemed to help with fielding grounders if the ground was more consistent.

Glad to see you have lots of nice equipment to play with. It really makes teaching more enjoyable when you don't have to improvise or do with out.

Tell Bellchambers "hi" for me. Haven't seen him since PE classes.

Maybe Copper should hire you as an Ad manager. ;-)
