My first one

Well hello everyone! Welcome to the Damas family's blog. I figured that this might be the easiest way to keep everyone updated on how things are going with our family. Things around here have been pretty crazy lately. In the month of May Mike will be 27, Taylor will be 2, Mike's brother John and his fiance Christina will be getting married and family friend Brooke and Rocky will be getting married. We have a very busy month ahead of us.

As most of your know I am teaching 8th grade with Stockton Unified. They have offered me a position for next year! Yay!! So I don't have to worry about trying to find a job in a market that isn't offering any. The commute is a little rough (about 45 minutes) but I have grown quite attached to my students. I finished my credential classes. Woohoo!!! I have to pass one more test and then off to file for my credential. That will be an exciting day! Mike is still working for Turlock Dairy and Refrigeration during the off season. He is also still doing custom almond and walnut harvesting in the fall. He keeps himself very busy with that. Taylor is almost two and beginning to enter the terrible two's. She is testing quite a bit lately. It is keeping Mike and I on our toes. She is putting full sentences together and speaking her words more clearly. Every day is a new adventure with her. We just transitioned her to a "big girl" bed and off of the bottle. She handled both very well. The next big step for her will be potty training. We will start that this summer while I am off of work.

I hope this finds everyone doing well. I will try to update as often as possible so please check back with me!
