Birthday

My birthday was lovely! Thanks for all the warm wishes, cards, phone calls, and text messages! Matthew and I went out to dinner at Cafe Sam, which was excelente! I came home and talked to bestie Emma for an hour, ate cake and talked to my parents. Love it!

First Day

Today I had my first sub job of the 2011-2012! It was only a half day but it was lovely to be back working with kids and being around teachers! Here's to a wonderful school year full of sub jobs and hopefully a full-time job opportunity (keep your fingers crossed). What a great day!

Crazy Stupid Love

Tonight, Matthew and I went and saw Crazy Stupid Love with Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Julianne Moore. It was super cute!! Emma Stone, as always, is clever and charming (and gorgeous). Ryan Gosling was an excellent ladies man and him and Steve Carell had great chemistry between their characters' friendship. Kevin Bacon was in it too, which I didn't know ahead of time:)

I also saw a preview for Breaking Dawn Part 1 and was very very excited!! Hurry up November!

The Help

On my first and last day of summer, Jessi and I went and saw The Help. It was excellent! Not to mention that it was $5 ticket and free popcorn night! We will hopefully be going to more movies there in the future, especially with that price!

If you haven't read the book, read it! It's hard to stop reading because there is so much happening!

I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars:)

Summer Camp 2011 finished up last Friday! I'm full of mixed emotions about the end of camp. They're long and tiring days but it's the one part of the year where I'm in control of the situation, know all the kids names and am the one who gets to make the rules. Unlike when I'm subbing. Don't get me wrong, I love subbing, but it'd be nice to have my own classroom some day:) Camp made the summer absolutely fly by. I can't believe it's September 4th today!

This past week was equally busy! On Monday I took the day off to do stuff around the house, relax, sleep in. Enjoy my first and last day of summer:) Tuesday was training in the morning, cleaning out the church in the afternoon and a Back to School night at Sunnyside. Wednesday was training and moving everything to Sunnyside. We hit the ground running this school year and I think we will be just fine at afterschool this year. The numbers are low right not, but I'm hoping things will pick up as the year progresses. The first few days of school are always new and different.

I've got my first subbing job on Wednesday and then I'm starting at a new afterschool program in the North Hills District. It's going to be fun and interesting! I can't wait!
