Fund the Future

Fund the Future is an event that the school I work for puts on at a beautiful restaurant in Salt Lake. They do this event to raise money for tuition assistance to have children attend our school that might not be able to afford it otherwise. The night is a formal dress night and they put on a silent and live auction for participants to donate money to the cause. It was a fun night and the class project my kids did to auction off ended up selling for, $400.00 which Sophie and I were so excited about! The dinner was amazing and the night was packed with lots of laughs and surrounded by good friends.It was fun to get dressed up and have a good last Autumn night out.

Swine Flu...Really???

So early on in November Joe was diagnosed with the Swine Flu, which he blamed on me for getting somehow... even though I never had it not got it after he had it, but whatever! I think he concocted this sickness from the incessantly coughing rug rats we take care of at church, because we are called as nursery teachers (Booooo). So anyway I had to deal with the never ending whining and coughing and gagging for almost 2 weeks straight... I felt bad for the poor guy but really he brought it on himself by being such a Germ-Nazi all the time, that the one time he didn't sanitize he got sick hahaha! Now today he is alive and well and sill uses like a bottle of sanitizer a day insisting it helps! Whatever makes him sleep at night, right? ;) LOL

*Here he is in all his sick Swine Flu glory!

Saying Goodbye is so hard to do...

Last month at my work we had a dear co-worker Susan move. Susan has been with us at the Montessori for 2 years and kinda acted as a grandma to everyone. She is such an awesome teacher and I just love her to pieces. She was given the opportunity to move to Vermont to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren and decided to take the opportunity! We ALL will miss her so much and think about her all the time! Good luck Susan in all that you do in the future!
The picture above was was her last night here in Utah and taken at her farewell dinner at the Olive Garden.

We love you Susan and will miss you so much!
