I&#8217;m sure I ended up getting picked up in the middle of the night (as so often happened in those days), but that didn&#8217;t stop us from remaining friends to this day. And so, we went out&#8230; and the evening wasn&#8217;t as blury for me as this picture is! It was a blast, though &#8211; as time always seems to be with the Lindgren girls. Thanks so much!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/08\/with-jen.jpg\" alt=\"Jen and I\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Saturday brought a semi-early morning breakfast in Tower with Lo and Mom. We met at the Tower Cafe before heading over to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Poderzay. It&#8217;s always nice to get some time together.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/08\/lo-mom.jpg\" alt=\"Lo &amp; Mom\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/08\/lo-gg.jpg\" alt=\"Lo G &amp; G\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Saturday afternoon was wonderfully lazy. Stacy and Dylan came out, so we enjoyed a little boating, and of course a trip to Moosebirds. Sunday morning April and I dove into the card making supplies and created a few semi-masterpieces. \ud83d\ude42 After the creativity had left us, it was time for me to get packed up and head toward Baxter.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;d been a while since I&#8217;d seen the Svirs, so they graciously let me drop in on them. Of course I was amazed at how big Axton is getting. After a little fix of baby time and catching up with Mike and Amanda I headed to the apartment to get ready for my inservice today.<\/p>\n<p>All was well in 6th grade land. I think I have a fairly clear idea of what my curriculum looks like and which pieces I&#8217;ll be able to use. After the scheduled day I met two more students and their parents. I am so excited about my class! Of course, it was a long day &#8211; and such a day should be rewarded somehow. Lucky for me, I got a chance to visit with a couple other new teachers and a couple of veteran teachers over dinner at a local mexican restaraunt. What a blessing to feel so welcomed.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to drive back home tonight as opposed to tomorrow morning. I&#8217;m going to head to April&#8217;s classroom with her tomorrow to reciprocate the favor. And now, I&#8217;m quickly learning that the iced coffee I consumed to keep me awake on the drive home has lasting effects&#8230; curse caffeine!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dear friend, Jenny (yes, I get to call you that!), was home this past weekend, which meant I got an evening out on the town. \ud83d\ude42 My earliest memory of Jen is having to call home at one of &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/2007\/08\/20\/friends-family-and-work\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
