My Life 2007

I was going to write a Christmas letter this year, but ran out of motivation. It still was fun looking through pictures of the year, remembering all that I did this past year. Here is a tidbit of my life from 2007.

In February, my parents and I stayed in a cabin in near Yosemite. Not much snow, but it was beautiful!

In March, we had a windy trip to Death Valley.

In June, I graduated!


In July, I was the maid of honor in Ashley's wedding.

In August, my family went to Canada.

In August, I started my first job as a teacher!

In December, I was "the lady at the well" in the Bethlehem.

Bethlehem!!!

The first night of Bethlehem is over! It was amazing to see it all come together after working on it so long. It's interesting to never have been on the outside of it... I know all the people and sets and so I wonder a little bit how it is for spectators.

Thank God that it didn't rain too much. It was muddy, but we could do our performances in the light sprinkle just fine. I remembered all my lines without flaw (whew!). I think I have the best job in the show. I have a few lines, which makes me feel important, but after that I'm not stuck in a booth so I was able to watch the show, work in a couple of booths, dance the Jewish circle dance, and wander around enjoying it all.

One Day to Go

I wonder at the functionality of my smoke alarms. I can see the smoke in my room from my burnt (and yet so tasty) chicken.

Bethlehem dress rehearsal is in an hour!!! I forgot my lines at the tech rehearsal yesterday. I just get too nervous! I found out one of my students is going to come one of the nights. What, oh what, did I get myself into? Thursday and Friday are forecasted as rainy, so please pray for a miracle! We cannot have rain. And I have a field trip Friday where we are walking and it cannot be canceled. Times like these I don't like the rain so much. Bethlehem looks absolutely amazing. I am so excited, worried, and nervous!

I was dead at school today and my kids were so good.

I Despise Report Cards

I think 2nd graders try to torture their teacher when she is sick.

I made a kid cry today. He says I am a mean teacher. Mwa ha ha.

I have a word of the day. Today's word of the day is "custom." Willy insisted that the word of the day was "crap." We had a talk.
