The Life and Times of KimyBrian, Chapter Two: Road Trip!

If you haven't heard the news, we just bought a new car (actually a van) in Colorado and drove it back to Seattle this past weekend. It was a great trip. We started in Ft. Collins, CO at Troy and Jen's house. We got to visit friends long the way in Bozeman, Missoula and Spokane. Here is a compilation of video clips from our road trip. I'll warn you, it is a little long (about 10 minutes). We had plenty of time to take video!

Chicago Shower Weekend

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Chicago and had a great time at the Aunts' shower on Saturday and the Rock Shower (don't ask us to explain what this is) on Sunday. The Bennetts (minus Will, who had to work) made the trip to celebrate with us. It was a great, action-packed weekend. Here is a little clip from the weekend.

Brian

Mr. Brian

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!
