Orange Sherbert, Thai Curried Carrot Slaw, and Spiced Tangerines...these are the things that this week was made of. Orange Sherbert, the colors in my dress for the wedding of my cousin Steven to his lovely bride Tiffany. Thai Curried Carrot Slaw, my culinary creation for the week...must say, I am enjoying the kick quite a bit. Tangerine Spice, the nail color for the fingers which scurry across my keyboard this evening.
It has been a blurry-eyed week this past week...contract started this past Monday, met my intern, D.W., set up the classroom, shopped for supplies, made relish and preserves, house-sat in Stanley, met all but one family at "Sneak-a-Peek", plus my brother flew in from California for the wedding and jetted back out today. Hard to believe that this is ironically how packed a week in the life of a this teacher usually is. I a wonderful at piling on the plate, (believe me, used to be a bigger girl, I can load the Chinet up) hard to clear the plate of items once they have been up on. Not that I am complaining, I have a full life in which I am blessed with many wonderful people to share it with! In looking ahead to the first full week of school, I am excited to see that I have a class full of new eyes, hearts, brains and lives to impact and share my passions with. I only hope they are as excited to start the year as I am. The fourth annual, "It's Great to be in Miss Meyer's 5th Grade!" will be sung tomorrow along with many other fun team building activities.
The wedding of Steven and Tiffany Meyer was also this past weekend. One of the most tender-hearted people I know, my cousin Steven, had the extreme joy of expanding his already large family by adding in a fabulous firey Irish bride, Tiffany Lynn. I am thrilled to have shared in their day by standing with programs and handing out bubbles. Watching them dance together and hold each other's hands throught the night was something truly special to behold. Few people find the love of their life...I know I have not had this pleasure yet, and here Steven and Tiffany have not only found each other but celebrate and compliment one another beautifully. know they will have a wonderful memory filled honeymoon.
With all that is going on this week, I am going to turn in early tonight...yes, before 9 PM! So enjoy the Trip to the Pan-Asian Tropics with the Thai Curry Carrot Cole Slaw (on my newest page...Eatin' Like a Bird) and photos below of the family events!
