Five Years....

Went to Boulder, Utah for our anniversary this year. It was really nice to get away from work. Our anniversary always comes at report card time which makes for a really stressed out Cherie. I am so happy we decided to go somewhere this year. My work schedule is making me crazy.

Today I remembered why I do what I do. I love my little tutoring students and it is amazing what a little love and patience can do for children of all ages. But it is even more amazing what a little love and patience can do for me.

There is a short story told at themoth.org called "Don't fall in love with your monkey". It's about a scientist who's experimenting with a monkey and the monkey starts training him to do things.
So applicable to my job! Each child I work with helps me to open up to new ways of learning and teaching. Every year I feel like I'm a completely different type of teacher. You can never try be objective when it comes to living beings. They will always change your behavior as much as you change theirs... If your lucky.

I love these pictures. They are really old color photos in an online display. They are from the early 1940's. My current header is from this same display.

Fleet Foxes

I went to this concert about a month ago and I can't believe how much I like this band now. I can't get them out of my head and I never get tired of them. This guy's voice in concert was so powerful.

They are coming back to Salt Lake in July if anyone is interested. You will be in for a treat.
