Back At It

Well, Spring Break is gone and we are preparing to head back to work/school tomorrow. However, we had a wonderful time being off together and certainly spent a lot of time on the go.
On Monday, Steve and the girls shopped around in Fresno while I took the final exit exam for my Masters in Public Administration program that I was in. A lot of prayers later, I was notified that I had passed. Although I am still happily teaching I wanted some options available to me for later down the road. Although VP or Principal may be my final destination my first choice would be curriculum at the district level.
Steve was accepted on staff of the National University Journal as a publications designer. It is actually part of an internship program that he has to participate in but it opens up a lot of other opportunities to him as well. This internship will also have him doing some work out at Porterville College. Congrats to my honey!
Earlier in the week Kaitlyn and I walked out the farm where the animals stay and brought the donkey home for a "grooming" session. Jezebell wasn't too upset about the experience but certainly was in a hurry to get home once we started back that way. Taking a donkey home for a bath wasn't my first choice for the day but it was important to Kait.
We had planned on going to the desert to ride quads on Wednesday but the weather wasn't cooperating. Anyway, since we had the quads loaded we decided to chance it and hope for the best. We ended up not going to CA City but down to Hungry Valley in Gorman. It was gorgeous down there since the wildflowers were in full bloom. The riding terrain is like a forest in some parts which is certainly different than the desert that we are used to. We had a blast and the weather cooperated until we were loading the quads on the trailer to come home.
Both the girls were involved in the Easter presentations at church. Kaitlyn was part of the Little Hands of Praise signing of "Because of Who You Are." This was the first time that these kids have worked together and they did an awesome job. Sarana was part of the IMPACT Youth presentation of "My Redeemer Lives." Both of them, along with all the young people involved, did a wonderful job. Check out the video clips on the IMPACT blog.
Here are picture of us Easter morning. Kaitlyn wore her Easter clothes on Sunday. Since Sarana had to wear specific clothes for the drama she will wear her new duds next Sunday. I will post pictures of her later. We had a wonderful Easter with friends and family.
