Melinda's Birthday

Amazing how the birthdays seem to pile up and time goes by so quickly. Certainly not what we thought when we were kids! We got to celebrate a birthday with Melinda last weekend. Thought it was very nice of everyone to start the celebration the night before with a bunch of fireworks for everyone to see. Melinda doesn't think it was just for her, but we keep trying to tell her it must have been. We had a nice relaxing day...ate some ribs, went to a movie (Transformers 2), and took Melinda to dinner.
Melinda will be staying at Thornton next year. Someone else got the open math position at Academy. None of us were very happy she didn't get it, but things happen for a reason. Melinda will be teaching 5th grade math next year. She will not only by moving grades (4th to 5th) but classrooms as well. They will open the school back up (asbestos abatement) and we will have about 2 weeks to help her get the room set up. It's an exciting and stressful time. We have a couple of birthday parties to take care of before we can get to thinking about going back to school.
