It appears as if it has been a while since I last updated my blog, and I have been hearing about it:) The main reason I haven't written is because my life has settled into a shade of normalcy (if there is such a thing). I am teaching Spanish, French, and coordinating the Gifted and Talented program part-time for the Target Range School. Although the change from teaching college aged to K-8 was a bit difficult at first, I am finding that I really enjoy teaching the younger students as well. I absolutally love how enthusiastic the Kindergarteners are about learning Spanish, and how much they love their teachers:) They are so proud of their ability to count to ten and tell me the colors in Spanish. The middle schoolers are a bit more reserved...you know...they have to keep up the cool facade. But they are also a joy to teach. I am also teaching ESL to adults at the Adult Basic Education Center - which is always fun and quite educational for me as well.
Outside of my job, I have been taking advantage of the last warmish days by taking nice long walks around the Missoula area. Brian and I are still determined to find new places that we haven't yet explored. We have found some really fun areas including a suspension footbridge, rock cliffs, and numerous semi-precarious fallen tree bridges. We also took a 15 mile bike-ride along the Hiawatha Trail on the Idaho-Montana border. Before you get too impressed, I must admit that the trail was almost all downhill - I am in no stretch of the imagination a bike rider:) However, the views from the tressels and trails were spectacular and the tunnels - including one tunnel more than a mile and a half long - were a uniqe chilly diversion. I do enjoy the autumn here in Missoula, as we do have a good attempt at color with quite a few deciduous trees. I try to do my best to forget just how cold I will be in less than a month:)
Here are a few recent pictures(Mostly from the Hiawatha Trail):
