Old Pep Rally Pictures

Today I fould some old pictures from the pep rally last semester at school. I was one of the few teachers who volunteered for a faculty dance. The pep rally had a "decades" theme and the teachers danced to a mix of songs from the 90s. I've decided that some of my friends have no shame...we look ridiculous. Thought you would enjoy these.

A Few More Relay Pictures

That's me with Anna Grace and then with her mom Kim. Kim and I teach together at AJHS. We're holding the Oscar we received for best t-shirt. (Anna Grace still talks about Millie who she met a few months ago.)

Relay for Life 2009

Last night was the Lee County Relay for Life walk.  My shift is always from midnight to 6am.  I left school yesterday and got into bed and slept until about 10pm then got up and went to the relay.  Our team is really into having at least one person walking the entire twelve hours and we definitely did that this year.  I missed many of the AJHS participants because they were there at the start time.  We won the t-shirt design contest for the third year in a row.  (I always design the t-shirts.)  The theme this year was "Lights, Camera, Take Action Against Cancer" so all teams were encouraged to have movie-themed shirts and campsites.  The red t-shirt says, "Frankly, cancer, we do give a damn," and it has the Gone with the Wind picture on it.  We couldn't wear it to school so that's why we made the Star Wars ones also.  We also won "best campsite" and "most money raised by a school."  In the end, I think we raised almost $5000.

John Pennisi, Anna Grace, Jason Wright (my principal), Landrey, and April.  

We all joked that DHR would be on their way to pick up the children who were forced to stay at the track all night.

Our award-winning t-shirt.

The 6am crew.  Betsy, Kim, me, Katie, Anna Grace, and April.

Timmy the Donkey

I had forgotten that I had taken this picture of Timmy and Scott.  Scott insisted on buying a huge bag of carrots to feed to Timmy and the other horses a last month.  Timmy was all about it.  I was afraid that one of the horses would die from eating too many carrots but Scott said that would be okay.  He would just put the horse in the trailer and accidentally set the thing on fire.  That way the horse body would be gone, we wouldn't have to worry about selling the trailer, and we could collect the insurance money.  Nice plan.  

Timmy is a natural escape artist.  I can be sitting on the couch or eating at the table, and suddenly a little donkey will trot past the window.  Or I'll be driving to work in the morning and Timmy is out on the road munching on some grass.  I've had to call the landlord twice to let him know that Timmy was out.  He cusses, offers to sell the donkey for $5, then thanks me. Everyone who comes to the trailer falls in love with Timmy but no one will adopt him.  Any takers?

Graduation

Here are a couple more pictures from Nathan's graduation.  That's David Lewis...he's currently working in Tennessee with horses.  And then there's Nathan with his parents.

Celebration!

The girls decided to go out to a fancy dinner in Opelika last Friday night to do some celebrating. I had just gotten my new job in Owensboro, and Tiffany had just wrapped up a big event for Moxii (the company she is working for on the side). We ended up at Cafe 123...it was delicious. We stuffed ourselves and then did a little shopping in cute downtown Opelika. That's Katie, Tiffany, Me, and Meg.
