So, I'm 27.




Well, it's been a while since our last post. Old age, you know - it just slows you down. But seriously, things have been crazy. Right now, Sara is coaching track and I am coaching softball, I am taking classes for my master's degree, and we are both teaching up a storm at our great school. We have also been dabbling in the Philippine Ultimate Frisbee scene the past couple of months - yes, Ultimate is a real sport. It's all been great, but it doesn't leave a lot of time for blogging.
The last "big event" I can think of is my 27th birthday. I was planning on doing nothing to celebrate, but then our fantastic friends, Matt and Heather, asked us if we wanted to go to the beach with them. We did want to go, and we went, and it was great. Here are a couple of pictures of the outing.
You know, for a guy with a January birthday, I'd say hanging out at the beach is a pretty great way to celebrate being a year older. So, I'm 27.
Even though this is shamelessly self-promotional, I am going to do it anyway. As a part of one of my master's courses on educational IT, I have created another blog. It's an educational blog, so many of you will find it woefully irrelevant. But those of you who like reading my writing (and I think that's pretty much limited to my mom - love you, Mom!), you might find it interesting. There are some great comments I have received already from some of my colleagues and from an educational blogger from the website www.change.org - if you're a teacher, his blog is also worth reading - Clay Burrell at http://education.change.org. Anyway, all that to say, some of you should check out my new blog over at http://kopptastic.wordpress.com. Let me know what you think.
