Well, I did it! I am a proud homeowner! I bought a townhouse in Littleton, CO on the west side of town right at the base of the foothills! I close on May 25th - and am getting super excited about this! It is 2 bedroom 3 bathroom - about 1000 square feet! Its two stories and perfect for Piedra and I! I also have made a career move for the following year. I am staying at Hopkins, however I am making a HUGE jump backwards and going from 3rd grade to Kindergarten and taking over for my former 3rd grade teacher who is the current Kindergarten teacher! I am REALLY excited about this! I am going to be working with an awesome team and the kids are so much fun at that age! In about 3 weeks on June 5th Mom, Dad and I are hitting the open road with the new truck and trailer on a 3 week adventure across the west! Here are some highlights of our trip; Yosemite, San Francisco, Redwoods NP, Acrhes, Canyonlands, and I am hoping to make a brief stop at Lake Tahoe! As my year is winding down I am saddened this year to say goodbye to this group of kids, they have truly been amazing this year and I just know that they are going to turn into amazing little people in the next few years, I have learned so much from them this year! With all that being said, I hope that my next blog post is from the new house! I hope this finds everyone well! ~Matt~ :)
The answer is blowin' in the wind...
Okay - It has been about a year and a half but there have been many changes to my life. 2009 was by far a year full of challenges and obsticles that I needed to overcome to refind myself. I will be short but I do want people to know that haps with me. Kelli and I decided to part ways about a year ago now, it was a really hard decision and I will always love her and miss her. I had to move out my place as well during this year due to a horrific bed bug issue, lost much of my belongings but did not want to risk infesting Mom and Dads. Yup, moved back in with the parentals, but I am saving some money and hoping to buy a house here soon! I also became a Dad this year as well! I am the proud owner of a kitty named Piedra who I love and adore dearly, except when she is getting into trouble! She was a stray that I took in from a friend of Kelli's just before we decided to part ways. I was able to spend a portion of my summer last year back in Hawaii, I loved it, it was so nice to reconnect with Jen, James and Koa. I loved spending time with them and enjoying the island lifestyle. I also did a lot of camping and hiking and recently reconnected with my passion for photography. I just purchased a wide angle lens which I am loving and using all the time! As far as work goes, I am still teaching 3rd grade at Hopkins, I have an amazing class this year, who are working really hard at all they do. There are some changes with my career as with the seasons, so the answers my friends are blowin' in the wind.
I will blog more, I have really been trying to reconnect with myself, and blogging today has really helped me with that. I hope this note finds everyone well. I miss you and love you, and check back soon, the changes are a brewin'...
