Old cliche-First time for everything

Well, there is a first time for everything. I have started my first blog. I guess I will write a little about myself and my day.

I am 32 years old married to a fabulous man and have two boys ages 6 and 3years. I started working at the Charter School in Elko Nevada. I teach Kindergarten and can say that I live my passion everyday. This is my first year teaching; I have 17 students with an additional 3 that come for reading. I have a morning class and than I am a liaison for the other teachers in the afternoon. This year I set up a candle making science project with the additional proceeds going to charity. It was a great ending to a great year.


Some of my other passions are finding time to work out and stepping into the great outdoors. I have started training for a sprint triathlon with a coworker. I love to snowshoe hike which I did the weekend before last and it might be my only trip this year since the snow has melted off.

This week has been particularly stressful. My husband has been trying to pass kidney stones since last Sunday. I feel like a helpless by standard...hoping that his last bought of pain will have finally pushed the stone through.

Today I had 7 students out, we have had a major bad bug going through the school. We had a zydaco instruction come and teach us about the origins of the zydeco and french bands today. We are gearing up for Cowboy poetry week that is huge in Elko next week. We will by seeing a zydeco band at the Convention center on the 26th.

Enough for now....until later, Ang
