Decisions

I decided I am not a good blogger because I am not a good photographer. The two basically go hand in hand. I don't even own a camera (besides my little Costco guy I got for graduation) so I don't find myself taking pictures of everything I do in my life. Any pictures you really see of me were taken by someone else and that person is usually ten times better at photography than me anyway. My teachers always made fun of me in high school because I would complain that I had no artistic vision and my creativity struggled a little, then they would see what I came up with and agree. Not a creative bone in my body. That's ok with me though because I am good at other stuff. Like swimming. Abrupt topic change...go.

I have been teaching swim lessons at the club for about a week. Nothing long term or anything, because as most of you know, I don't do commitment. Most days I just kind of wing out some lessons on what I feel like doing that day and for the most part just doing whatever I want whenever I want to. It seems to be working because I have had multiple sets of parents come up to me after the lesson and compliment my teaching style and my ability to put up with their crazy children. It always makes me feel better when parents know their children are less than calm about learning to swim.

I also decided this week that I need to become a better blogger because I need to become a better writer. That's right folks, I will be leaving pretty soon here and the only way I can get you all to remember me is by writing frequently! Nobody panic yet, the call hasn't come yet but I sure can tell you how much I can't wait!!

I am going to get my (hopefully) very last interview tonight, so get those guesses going!

The End.

We finally got back from our "vacation" at 2 this morning! We stayed in Oregon for about 2 weeks...which with 10 kids felt like 2 years. Some random pictures of the rest of what we did...including lots of beach time, sandboarding (the most fun I've ever had) and some time at the Pendleton Rodeo! (or the statues on the side of the road)















getting hurt is the worst!














yup, definitely a lizard on his head. 







wait for the wipeout...



pros







we dont get out much



hate to leave this beautiful place.
