Sand Through My Toes

An update with three wonderful events!! 🙂

Thirteen select pilots have graduated in the first graduation class of 2013! 

I am so very proud of all the students that accomplished this feat

along with those students that are still hitting the books to reach their goal.

Three of the graduating students started out in my classroom last August

and are now receiving their English Language Diploma.

Here they are – Hamid, Amani, and Shirzada – I am one proud teacher!!

Just in case it has completely slipped your mind, it is MY BIRTHDAY in one month!  Yes, one month until I will celebrate with no carrot cake, no alcoholic beverage, and no Indian food.  At least I will remain sober and I know that my mom is smiling about that one!  But, please feel free to head out to The Ratskellar and enjoy an Andechs in my honor!  I promise to buy a round for those of you around in August when I return. 🙂

                           Not quite an Andechs nor my beach at home but sure did enjoy myself on this vacation a year ago!!

I AM COMING HOME!  YEAH WOOH, YEAH WOOH, YEAH WOOH! Five fabulous months until I am back on my home turf with family and friends!  I look forward to my life returning to a non groundhog’s day status and sharing this wonderful experience with those that want to hear about it, and/or possibly see it, too!
