This week

Well I made it though my first year of teaching!!! Yay! I am in training all of this week and next week though so I feel like I went back to school again. We are adopting a new math curriculum so I have to be trained in it. It's not really fun to have to do but it has to be done.

Taylor is doing much better with her fever. We haven't had a fever since the shots of antibiotic. She is finally back to her old self. She stayed with her Aunt Janette this week for a couple of days while I was working. She really enjoyed it. She got to go swimming and play with her cousins, Tyler and Ashely. It was really fun for her and I hope it was fun for them as well.

This weekend I am having my 'Summer Kick-Off' party for Gold Canyon Candles. I really enjoy selling them. I get to make a little extra money and I don't really have to do much since they sell themselves. Hopefully this weekend is a success.

Taylor starts gymnastics on Tuesday! I am really looking forward to that. She is taking a Mommy and Me class so really me and mom start gymnastics on Tuesday as well. It will be really fun I think. Taylor loves to jump and play and it will be really good for her to be around other kids. She spends most of her time with the dogs now so I would like her to be around some other kids. Sunday is Father's Day so that should be a fun day too. Not sure what we are doing for Mike yet but we will think of something.

I hope this finds all of you doing well. Hope to talk to you soon!

The Past Two Weeks

Well it's been a very busy two weeks. Let me update you!

We had Taylor's birthday party on the 25th. It was very nice. We had a lot of good friends come and some new ones too. Our friends Sara and Madison came over from Monterey and it was wonderful to see them. Taylor was in the pool for most of the day and had so much fun swimming with her friends and cousins.

During the week was business as usual. Mike had class and I had work. Taylor came down with a fever on Monday the 26th. She was not feeling well for a few days so I called her doctor. The doctor told me to let the fever go for three days. On Thursday we called the doctor back and she wanted us to come in. Mom took Taylor to the doctor and they took some blood to check for viruses and bacteria. Nothing came back with those tests so she said to watch Taylor through the weekend and see how she did. Well the weekend came and went with no change so Mom took her to the doctor again on Monday. They had to take more blood and do a chest x-ray to check for pneumonia. That test came back negative but her blood cultures will not be back for 4-7 days. The doctor did notice that Taylor's white blood cell count had sky rocketed so yesterday she gave her two injections of a general antibiotic. Today she goes back in for two more injections. Good news...she's starting to feel better and actually ate dinner last night. Bad news...they still don't know what's causing her fever and I am not sure they ever will.

This past Saturday was Brooke and Rocky's wedding held at my parents house. The wedding was beautiful and very laid back. It was really nice. She looked stunning and you could see it on Rocky's face when she walked out.

This is my last week of school. Tomorrow is the last day for students. I am very ready to have some time off. I have a job for next year! I will still be in 8th grade teaching Algebra, Algebra Readiness and Science. I think I will also still be teaching Journalism but that one is still up in the air. We will see.

I will try not to wait so long next time. I will try to stay more faithful to keeping this updated.
