I can't believe it's almost August Already!

Well guys (and gals of course!), I am not sure who is still checking this blog out, but I promised I would keep it up all summer. I haven't been neglecting, but I haven't noticed anyone post anything new in a while, so I haven't left a new post.

Life's been pretty busy over here on the West side this summer: getting stuff ready for the wedding, riding my bike, running, eating ice cream, you know, the stuff I really like to do. I am getting ready for my new kids and new classes too, plus I had a super hard grad class this second half of the summer. The last weekend of it is this weekend, so I will be really happy when it's over.

I met the new English teacher yesterday...she seems really nice, and fun of course. But, she will be teaching all 9th grade and one section of ACC Sophomores. Mr. Miller and Mr. Parrish (Deven) will be teaching the other sections of it. I believe most of you will be taking Advanced American Lit (or you at least better be!). So you will have Hosner, Ash, or Webster. Good luck. They're all hard, but they prepare you, which is what you need.

Well, I am searching for an easy way to share our end of the year photos. The files are too big to put on this blog and I dont' have all of your email addresses to invite you to them on snapfish. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Hope you are all having a wonderful summer! Hope to hear from you soon. Also, I plan to come back and haunt you every now and again, and of course, keep up on you and your grades (Michael!), so keep that in mind!
Love,
Capy

So much fun...

Hi everyone! To those of you who were able to make it to Matt's house last night, thank you so much. I means so much to me that you would spend a Friday night with an old lady like me! You have all inspired me to be who I am and I can't even imagine what it is going to be like without all of you roaming the halls of my new school. But, I guess you all have to grow up and leave at some point anyway.

Thank you so much to Matt and the rest of his family for making food and providing us with a place to have this party too! You are beautiful human beings!

And, for all of you who would have liked to have come but couldn't make it, no fear, the internet is a beautiful invention! Please feel free to continue to post on the blog and/or email me directly. I promise I will do whatever I can to make it over to Howell to come and visit. And, if you are willing to make the drive (with your parent's permission of course), you are always welcome to come and say hello on the West side.

Thanks again you guys! It was so nice to spend some QT with all of you!

For the Breakfast Club

If any of you read this, I called and left a message with Mike's dad...Jason's uncle died this morning and the visitation is on Friday morning. I need to be there for that. Also, this funeral is that afternoon. I will be coming to Howell for the going away party, but Jason won't be able to, unfortunately. He needs to be home with his family. I know you guys were hoping to finally meet him. Sorry. I hope you all make it to the Raddick's on Friday night and we will try to work out a new date for the breakfast.

Missing everyone

Hi y'all! Well, I cant' believe it is already the middle of July! Can you believe it? This summer is flying by! I have been keeping myself busy. I hurt myself running (I have weak hips or something...) and have been going to physical therepy, but still running, just not as long of distances. I guess that puts my 10K off until the end of Septmenber. Oh well. My sister was in town for a week last week with her husband and two dogs, so that was a lot of fun. I miss my sis! I finished one of my grad classes but have two more sessions of my other one before I am done with my school until next winter. Now I just need to keep plugging away at wedding plans and getting my new classroom and classes set. scary! I can't believe all that I am doing and teaching next year. I will be teaching AP English to 3-5 students total, but a "0" hour, which starts at 7:15. Then I have two sections of 9th grade English, and 10th grade english and one section of 11th. I am totally looking forward to it though. There's only one other high school English teacher at the building, so we can keep everything pretty much together with the 11th grade class and then she teaches the 12th graders and some business management classes.

So, tell me, what is going on with all of you? Any of you taking any of the summer 2 week classes that were being talked about?
