Laci has graduated!!

Congratulations LACI! Wow!

These past few months have been quite like nothing else I have experienced. It has been not-stop busy, but exciting. In March, Laci was on the swim team, I was team Captain for the Relay For Life, Laci was a team Captain for the Relay for Life (Senior Girls), I was nominated for Teacher of the Year for my school district, I became a Master teacher for a student teacher, I started the Master's program at Cal State East Bay, Jeff and I began coaching junior high track and field, the boys were playing baseball, and swimming began in mid-April. On top of everything lay-offs were still being discussed and Jeff was sure to be cut.
We went to an A's game, swim meets for Laci, Laci's highschool boys NCS Championships baseball game at the Oakland Collisum (first time since 1984) hiking to go inside a mine, and lots of bike riding.

Now.... things are much calmer. Jeff and I signed contracts for next year. Jeff will be in 6th and I will be a Reading Interventionist Specialist.

Laci has graduated and school is out. Family will soon be visiting to celebrate all of Laci's successes, and many more memories will be created. Jeff and I are so proud of Laci. She spoke in front of 455 graduates, and close to 5,000 viewers! She did an amazing job. Jeff and I also volunteered at GRAD NIGHT last night until 5AM. It was fun and memorable. She will be heading to Hawaii in mid-July. She is working quite a bit at Cold Stone. Our big vacation will be in Lake Tahoe for a week with Jeff's family and Lake Havasu to see Par and the family, and of course to see Mom and Dolan. My 20th year highschool reunion will be in Twain Harte in early Aug. (Oh My). Jeff and I plan to head to Hawaii to check Laci into the dorms in mid-Aug.
I am looking forward to the family reunion.
