Wow!! What a Week!!

So, last week I've been taking a writing class. Yes I know, I'm a math teacher. Why am I taking a writing class for teachers? Probably because I'm a glutton for punishment. I'm the woman who has to spell check the most basic of words and hasn't written since college. I signed up for the class because I need 4 more graduate credits to move up on the pay scale and this is a 4 credit class. But I've amazed myself and the English teachers. I've written a memoir piece and a poem (YES, a poem) and I think they are pretty good, if I may say so myself. OK, so others have said the same. In fact, the 'teacher' of the class said she is raising the bar for me. I think we both had pretty low expectations and I exceded those. If I get brave enough, maybe I'll be able to share them once I'm done editing. Still one more week to go, we'll see how things turn out.

We went to a branding today and really enjoyed the morning. It rained on us most of the time, but just a slow, straight down rain that kept us cool and the dust WAY down. It was one of the relaxed, fun brandings that are the best.

Mike and I also went to a wedding tonight. Riki Berry and Cody Cordova got married. Riki is such a neat girl (ok, not really a girl). She has been such a good friend to Courtney and is really a good role model. We wish them the best of luck and many, many years together.

I have lots of writing to do for my class this week, so I probably won't be on again until next weekend, unless something BIG comes up. Have a great one!!
