Greetings from the Mile High City on yet, the end to another wonderful weekend. :)
With the summer quickly coming to an end, one of my teammates opened an invitation to attend a concert with her on Friday night with a group of her girlfriends. The concert was held at Red Rocks, an outdoor natural amphitheater with one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen in my life. Picture this: to the East, the city lights of Denver twinkling in the distance; to the West the sun setting behind the majestic Rockies. (Yeah, I thought it was pretty amazing too.) The headlining group was a band that I have really liked for a while called The Killers so I was really exicted to have been asked to go with Carrie and her crew. The show ended up being so much fun and the music was phenomenal! Even more so, it was so much fun have a "girls night out" and meet some new friends (all of whom were teachers). I know I have said this before, but I truly feel fortunate to have met so many genuine people out here since our move.
Saturday and Sunday brought errands, cleaning the house and relaxation! :) My prinipal opened the school for us workaholic teachers on staff (read: ALL of us!) this weekend, so Chris and I headed for Aurora (city where school is), shopped at teacher store, lamenated posters, cut lamenated posters, hung cut and lamenated posters, organized, cleaned classroom, and finally took a big breath as I shut the lights off because my room was finally finished! Yay! I will get some pictures this week of the school and my room and post them so you all can see it.
On a side note, I have to laugh at Chris and I. What do you get when you marry an engineer with a science teacher? Answer: A couple who sits on the couch together at night each with their laptops in front of them clicking away. Yes, we are oobernerds! :)
Have a fabulous start to the week! Kristen and Jonathan (Penni) are coming on Thursday and I see students for the first time on Friday! Big week!! Off to get some rest....Layla is providing an excellent model of how to do it. :)

Red Rocks is so cool! Mary and I have gone there and it was incredible. Have a good time with your new arrivals this week-end!!
Hey guys, I am attempting to keep up with your blogs. :) Meg, your room sounds so fantastic. I can't wait to see pics of it. English teachers have fewer choices when it comes to building 3-D models. I suppose I could do...grammatical rules? just kiddin'. It is so amazing to hear about the camaraderie and passion that you have at your school. When I tried to get into my classroom on a Saturday my first year of teaching, everyone laughed at me. Oh well, they're just haters.
Don't forget to save a few week-ends to head up to Boulder and Fort Collins for some smaller town fun. Try to avoid Greeley though :) lots of feed lots with a peculiar stench.
I'll be flying in to DIA in a few short weeks myself.
Yip
