Jack's 50th Birthday

Look what the birthday boy found!We spent a wonderful day clamming and picnicing at beautiful Netarts Bay! We cooked in the Vdub and Jack hauled water back for the clams. We can't wait until we can go again.

My 50th Birthday

For all of you who may be dreading or worrying about your 50th birthday, it no big deal. I was actually liberating to reach this mile post. I set some goals for myself this last year and I met those goals so that felt good. Also I would recommend getting healthier, because you will feel better.

I got to spend the day with my hero, Jack. We went to Lincoln City and had a wonderful lunch. Then we headed up to Netarts Bay where we plan to start crabbing and claming! We are very excited about this excursion. We love taking the V Dub to the beach and see new sights.

Of course it helps that I am married to the most wonderful man, who saw fit to make my birthday very special.

Also it was very nice to share my birthday with my friends and students. Here is a picture of a few students who shared the same month and one who shared the same day. We had balloons and cake! Then we danced and celebrated for the last half hour of the day. It is so fun having a birthday party with fourth graders! They keep me young at heart1 I love them so much!
I am so thankful that the Lord gave me my hearts desire! I absolutely love teaching, and I definitely love kids. Anyway it was a really Happy Birthday!



Love to all,
Kelli
