Where's Edgar?

Hello Everyone,
I haven't written in awhile because I have been ridiculously busy. Here is an update while I procrastinate from packing up my apartment.

1) That's right. I am packing up my apartment. Guess what that means?! I am moving AGAIN! It is exciting yet very sad. I have a teaching job for the fall. I am going to be teaching grade 5/6 for a full year! I am going to have my own classroom! I am very excited because I have yet to have my own class with my own routines and rules and resources. It is going to be a busy but great year. The only downside is that I have to leave Fort Nelson. I love it here and don't want to leave. I have a wonderful group of friends aka my family away from home. I have made a life here and now I am going to have to start all over again. I not only have great relationships with my friends but I also have that with the staff and students in this school division. With leaving comes packing. It is so hard to pack because I am finding that time is flying by and that there isn't enough of it. Today is devoted to packing and as you can see that is going well haha. I have about 12 boxes done and that is only resources! I have way TOO much STUFF!

2) I was a volunteer on the Relay for Life committee. That took up a lot of my time with meetings and getting things ready. It went very well. I was in charge of games/face painting and the kids had a blast! I just wish that there was a better turn out and that the wind would have gone away.

3) Ryan, Ashley, Sarah and I went to Grande Prairie for May long weekend. It was fun! We had a good road trip full of singing, dancing, shopping, and injury. I went to jump into the truck and banged my knee on the hard part of the seat. My knee was so swollen and painful. I am constantly hurting myself :) Hopefully that ends soon. Oh yeah ....we saw the Sasquatch!


5) Ashley, Jamie, Chelsea and I went to see.....SHANE YELLOWBIRD! He came to Fort Nelson and we had to go and see the concert. It was a fun time. He really worked the crowd. Sat on a woman's lap and sang to a kid. I wonder if anyone will come to my new town? I doubt it.


6) Sarah and I went on a quick day trip to Fort St. John and I finally got the picture that I had been meaning to get for the past year. There is an evergreen tree in the middle of this open area and someone decorated it with garland. I have dubbed it the "Highway Christmas Tree." I have always meant to get a picture but never really had the chance. Sarah and I stopped and took a picture. Our friends judged us but we think it's awesome! :D




I have a feeling that there is so much more to tell you all but I can't think of anything right now. The boxes are calling my name. I am off to pack some more. I will hopefully keep you up to date throughout this move. Have a great day!
