A few weeks ago, my Junior and Senior ELL class asked if they could have a party, and if the guest of honor could be my fianceé. The party was on Thursday and Brian got time off of work to spend the morning with us! The party became a Senior graduation celebration/Ms. Bennett and Mr. Brian wedding shower.
We had a giant spread of food. Sambusa, Filipino food, chips, juice, soda, rice, cake, you name it! All at 9 in the morning.
The students have just started a research project about careers, so we had Brian talk to them about his job. It is such a novelty these days to see someone who got a job in the field they trained for in college. It was great for my students because they got to see an example of the amount of school someone might need in order to go into a solid career. All of the students loved it.
The whole office staff and Nathan Hale also has a crush on Mr. Brian now...
It was nice to share a bit of my life with my students.
Love to you all!

Kim and Brian's super busy Saturday
In response to the request of the wonderful Miss Laura Huysman, I must tell you all about our super busy Saturday. Watch out, Knot.com! All of those little alarm clocks next to my to-do list won't even see what's coming for them.
We started our day at Mighty-O's, as we do most Saturdays, and we were pleasantly surprised when we ran into Laura and Brian Dower who joined us for breakfast number two. Laura recently returned from South America and it was so fun to hear and share stories. Brian got restless around 11:30 and we had to take off. It was going to be a super busy Saturday.
First stop: Bed, Bath, and Beyond
We registered up a storm! Cook ware, Tupperware, towels, you name it!
Second stop: The Tux Shop
Ha ha, Brian! Your cover is blown! We are still waiting on a final decision, but it was a good start. It was funny to see a tux shop after seeing so many wedding dress stores. The tux shop had college football flags all over the walls, and a catalog of tuxedos that definitely had not been updated since the late 80's. Brian did well.
Third stop: REI
Brian bought a new watch band. Not too exciting. But we did decide that REI would be an awesome place for people to visit if they decide to checkout Portland and Seattle during their West Coast visit.
Fourth stop: Home
Home maybe doesn't sound super busy, but we went straight to work and registered for things from REI online. We also checked out photographers (another looming thing on our list).
After such a busy Saturday, we recovered with margaritas, entomatadas and mole negro from La Carta. What else could we ask for.
Brian, of course, needs extra time to recover and is off to spend the day in the mountains.
