happy weekend!

Couple updates from the Quinby family are in order. Jer is still busy with work and the fire dept and class. He is currently at a Saturday lab for EMT class. He is #1 in his class and has a 98%. I am so proud of him and glad that he is actually enjoying being in school ;).

I have been subbing regularly in Newberg with a few days in neighboring districts. I worked in Canby last week and got to see some of my students from my student teaching experience. They are now 8th graders and all taller than me. I love getting to catch up with them and I always leave on an emotional high.

In other news, I have been applying for second jobs. Anything that I could work after school and on weekends. I have an interview on Monday at Pier 1 Imports. I'm hopeful that it will work out. I love the store and would get some extra money and a nice discount! :) I also have an app. in with a restaurant in town that just re-opened. So, we'll see if I can get anything.

Last night, we went to the NHS vs. Mac football game. It was fun...always good to beat your rival. In the 29 (I think?) years that Eric has been the head coach, we've only lost 3 times to them. Dad was happy to get the win even though they didn't play their best.

I have a bridal shower tonight for a high school friend and I'm really looking forward to catching up with her. She is just an awesome person and I'm sad that we don't get to spend enough time together. She teaches at an elementary school in Corvalis and does an amazing job...she's such an inspiration!

I've gotten involved with the fire dept. auxillary (wives group) and am looking forward to volunteering next weekend at the Turkey Carnival at station 20. Look for updates on that after next weekend!

Other than that, not much else to report. I'm sitting here listening to the pouring rain and thounder as flashes of lightning light up the room. Think I'll go make some cocoa...happy weekend! :)
