Christmas with the Overalls

We shared Christmas Eve and Day with both our parents like we do each year. This was our Christmas at the Overall's house. Santa brought us money to pay for an upcoming trip we have planned.

Catching Up

Well, November and December flew by and I have been a super slacker blogger. So here are some pics and a quick summary of the last two months with separate Christmas posts to follow:

1. Thanksgiving we traveled to Tri-Cities to spend Thanksgiving with Katie and Clint at their home. For pictures from that, click here.
2. The first week in December I traveled to Nashville for 5 days with the Boise Education Association for the National Council of Urban Educators Association Fall Conference. It was a great trip. I made lots of contacts with people around the country and was able to discuss issues that other associations are the country are dealing with. It is amazing how similar we are despite our different states and situations.
3. I ran the YMCA Christmas Run with my friends Kathie and Kim. We did the 10K and had a great time!! My second ten K is done and I am ready for another!
4. I had brunch with all of my Master's friends the first Monday of Christmas Break. It was great to catch up with all these wonderful friends!
