Lady in RED!

Prom 2009!! As the reigning Prom Queen 2008 (see picture from last year below), I attended this years Prom in a "real dress" (thanks to Holly and Derek's wedding a couple of years ago). It was a night filled with lots of laughter and tears (I had to give up my crown!).




































Michelle, Kari and me!! They had matching dresses from MegaPaca (Guatemalan thrift store).















All the pretty ladies from the evening! We go all out!















James! Even the men love Prom!















With Prom King and Queen 2009! (Gotta love when the Principal get voted Prom King!)

Carrera Arco Iris

So... I know I have not blogged in awhile (at least no about anything much), but I am gonna try to back track a bit. But I am going to start with today! This morning was the Rainbow Fun Run or Carrera Arco Iris that benefits the children's cancer hospital. Thousands gathered between 7 and 8 a.m. this morning to run the 5K. Because my third graders partner with this organization as our Service Learning Project, we had a great turnout. I ran most of the way and stopped all along to snap fotos of my students running, on bikes, and walking with thier families. What a great morning and a great cause!!

Staying another year....

As you saw in the last post, I am selling my car, but it is not because I am leaving Guatemala. Iam going to be staying another school year (don't worry, mom and dad already know!). But if you live in Guatemala and are interested in a car, mine is great. I am just desiring to upgrade and I found a good deal on a HONDA! I also promise that when I have anything more exciting to share, I will post again!!
