Another note
This note from a colleague appeared in my mailbox soon after it was announced that I had been hired for the first grade position.

Passive-aggressive
Reason number four billion twenty-two why I am happy to be married... No more dealing with roommates!! My friend is in an icky situation with two girls, which is thankfully ending in a month. These girls are the epitome of passive aggressive, and I just couldn't help but take a picture of this note left for Erin the other day... Illustrates too perfectly!

Happy Anniversary
Yesterday, Eric & I celebrated the 3rd anniversary of our marriage! We ate ourselves to death at a fabulous (and swanky) Italian place and throughly enjoyed the evening. To honor the man who is my rock, here is a shot taken last weekend of us enjoying a lovely evening.
Eric, I know I lost the card I wanted to give you yesterday, so let me tell you here... I love you more than I thought possible 3 years ago. How did I get so lucky as to find you? We go together like 'peas and carrots' ;)

Utah 2
All the graduates have filed in and are calmly seated, listening to the chorus perform.
Graduation is complete! Everyone is on their feet, with just a couple of caps being thrown in the air.
The happy graduate mugs for the camera with all her medals and honors! Yay Erica!! Congratulations!!

Utah
The view from my mom's driveway. Mt Olympus is truly beautiful.
Smokey Joe is totally comatose as Bailey tries to decide what to attack next.
Christina and I fend off boredom during the lamest graduation speaches ever!

Teaching
My school!! Well, almost, this building is being torn down in a month so they can build a new school. We have a temporary (2 years) location at another school until the new Fitzgerald is finished.

Fireworks by the River
I know I say this every year, but I do think this year's fireworks topped the rest. The fireworks seemed brighter and louder, and the choreography with the music was outstanding. Riding the escalater at Porter, Cate and I saw a perfect image for Drifty... a large child (6 yrs old perhaps?) being carried by her very small mother, totally and completely conked out. The ensuing ethical discussion about whether it was appropriate to take their picture and the post it online took too long and the window to capture the shot was gone. I'm still not sure which side of the discussion I fall on... I'd love to hear thoughts from others.
