Living the Dream

Wow! What an exciting week it has been for the Carlton Household so far!  We had a super fun and exciting weeked as well as a WONDERFUL start to the week! I hope this is a sign as to what the rest of the week will be like.

We started the weekend off by going on a much needed date night.  We went to Chick's Oyster Bar and then went putt-putt and to see Bad Teacher.  We ended up meeting up with some friends at putt-putt and went to the movie with them.  Putt putt was wonderful and Craig and I both got a hole-in-one. As for the movie..hilarious! It was really funny and we had a great date night.

Saturday we were slam busyyy!  We started the afternoon off with a cook-out at my uncles house.  We had the usual cookout food and a very intense pool volleyball game.  It was a blast--even though the boys beat us girls.  After the cookout, we traveled out to Langley to watch some of Craig's friends race.  It was super hot but there were some good races.  Overall, it was a great day--besides the mosquito bites.

 Go...go...go!

As for the exciting news...I GOT A J-O-B!  I had a interview on Monday for a new school system and school.  I found out yesterday that I will be the newest Kindergarten teacher at Green Run Elementary School!  I am super excited.  I went and did my pre-paperwork today and I go to a mini-orientation and to sign my contract tomorrow morninggg! I am super excited about my new school!

 Yes, this is where i'll be spending ALL of my time come September.

Today, I took a step out of my comfort zone! Craig has already joined the sushi train but I was a little behind.  Needless to say, I tried and fell in love with SUSHI today! I was never to fond of the raw fish idea but OMG--I was missing out!  I had a spicy shrimp roll and a crab roll. Yes, I know it's not really raw fish but you have to start somewhere! I really enjoyed my first sushi trip.  Who wants to go to get sushi soooon?

My delicious lunch!

It surely was a really fun weekend with wonderful people.  I was sad to see it pass but I am super excited my week started off on such a good note.  I hope this is an idea of what the rest of the week will be.  I leave for New York City on Sunday so I know it's going to be an exciting weekend as well! (What is Craig going to do without me?!?) Stayed tuned for my blog about my first trip to "The City" and our trip to Florida that follows (Craig's cousin, Logan, is getting MARRIED!!)!
