two blogs in a row... crazy! I am really just playing with it figuring things out, like how to post photos and stuff. Anyway...
This photo is from Museum Adventure Quest Camp which is a camp I made up last summer. This year we had 5 of Casper's museums together with only 15 kids, but it was still fun. Ft. Caspar Museum made camp fires with the kids. Can you tell what the campfire ring is made of? They're m&m's! It was totally cute and a great way to teach kids how to build a fire. Pretzels were the logs, a graham cracker was the base of the fire, oreo crumbs are the dirt you push away from the fire ring. What a fun idea for kids and summer... Anyway... now that i know how to upload photos, I hope to get many more on here, and now that we are using blogger, more people can comment!

hello blog world. I don't have much time, as always, but I just wanted to blog for a second. Life is weird. Random. I used to listen to tons of music everyday. I can go for days without listening to anything more than the radio, which is fine cause I still get music that way, but seriously... I guess I didn't realize how much I miss music until I have a night like tonight. Nate and I are members of a cd club and we earned 6 free cds and then had limited $.99 for all cds once you buy one at regular price. So we are gonna catch up on the music scene. We ordered 23 cds tonight. they range from new Christian artists like Addison Road who I am excited to have to music like Nelly Furtado and Timbaland so we can go clubbin in our living room... :) I just hope we have time to listen to it all.
Here's another example of random... I got a call from a principal tonight, SUNDAY, and he asked what job I was interested in, said he would look for my resume and call me back. I was totally excited and ready to set up a time for an interveiw and now it's 11:40 pm Sunday night and I haven't had a phone call back and it's kind of dissappointing. I honestly think that the second they hear or read that i work at The Science Zone, they black list me. I have had almost no positive response from principals once they learn I work for the museum... I don't get it. And isn't that illegal? So anyway... it was really weird getting a call on a Sunday evening of a holiday weekend from a principal, but it's even more weird that he didn't call back to say he needed another copy of my resume or that he found the resume I already gave to him after he said he would call back. I'm totally frustrated with lack of a real teaching job... it would be such a blessing financially and in so many other ways, and I really do have a desire to teach in my own classroom. I am trusting God will provide. I am also trying to decide if God is telling me to leave my job since it hasn't been doing much good, even though it's been such a learning experience... I don't know what to do about it anymore. I'm done thinking about it tonight.
Hope you had a great 4th!! We have tomorrow off too! Yay!! I hope to post some good pics of our real quick trip to Denver and Rocky Mountain National Park...we got realy close to some elk... REALLY close and we won a trip to Orlando... it will be the first time we're on an airplane together and the first time on the ocean together... I'm excited. We just have to pick the dates and go. More details to come...
