What Happened?

Okay, I know what you are thinking...Matt gave up on blogging. No! I have been so busy that I have not really had any time to myself! Lets talk school for a minute, I finished my first year of teaching 3rd grade and it was a HUGE success! 100% of my class was either proficient or advanced in writing at the end of the year and we showed HUGE growth on CSAP as well as on NWEA standardized tests. I had a great group of kids this year who worked really hard, and it was very hard to let them go! I look foreword to seeing them again in the fall and see how they have grown over this summer! Now to life, I think last time I posted that I mentioned I finally left Mom and Dad and got a place of my own near downtown Littleton, which I love! Kelli and I are doing amazing, we have now been together for over a year and I cannot imagine life without her! She is looking for work hopefully in the Denver area, so if you know of an open teaching spot, let us know! I was renewed at Hopkins for another year but now we need to find her somewhere to teach! We are looking foreword to the future together! I also had a great opportunity to travel to Napa Valley, California a few weeks ago to meet some of her extended family and her great grandma who lives just feet from a winery! It was a great time, and something I will never forget! My family is doing well, my brother finished his first year at college and had a lot of stories to share! I hope that everyone who reads this is doing well, please leave a comment and let me know how you are doing! I will be in Denver for a few days starting this Saturday June 28, 2008! Talk to you all soon!
