14 in 14 Linky Party

Okay, I SWEAR I will get to finishing my gingerbread unit post. I'm just having too much fun relaxing during the break! But first! Since 2014 is coming to an end after tomorrow, I better join this fun linky party I found over at Miss Kindergarten before it's too late!

Sharing 14 different memories of 2014!

[one]

Weekend Valentine's trip to Monterey! 

[two]

Vegas for spring break! Besides the strip, we also took a tour of Red Rock Canyon in these mini cars! Highly recommend it for the next time you're in Vegas. Scoot City Tours!

[three]

Celebrating my birthday with a pajama party in class...

 ...and a trip to Alcatraz with the boyfriend.

[five]

Visiting the Maker's Faire with my friend who visits from Canada every year (she secretly wants to move to California)!

[six]

School fundraiser night with the Oakland As. The brother of my friend in the picture is hidden in one of those big head characters! (He's the middle one).

 

[seven]

Packing up my classroom, not knowing that the next time I'll be back was not to unpack and set up, but to repack and take my stuff with me. I changed schools so that I could move back home and be closer to the family and boyfriend. Lots of mixed feelings about that. Lots of tears too. Loved the school and especially loved the kids. Still miss them and some of them still keep in touch!

[eight]

Traveling to Japan with my family and getting a sand bath (aka being buried in burning hot sand).

[nine]

Experiencing the Hello Kitty jet on our way from Japan to Taiwan to visit the relatives.

[ten]

First day in my new classroom at my new school!

[eleven]

Adopting our puppy, Snap! This picture shows a comparison of his growth after three months. Crazy!

[twelve]

Packing all my stuff at my old place, and moving it all back home.

[thirteen]

Trip to Santa Cruz during Veteran's weekend. Pictured with where we would be if we were working our current careers back in the old days.

[thirteen]

Old colleagues coming to visit!

[fourteen]

Mini staycation during the holiday break, which included watching Cirque du Soleil: Kurios!

Wow, that was actually incredibly hard to do! First, I went through my pictures and started uploading them, only to find out that I had uploaded almost 20 pictures!!! Guess a lot of good memories have happened in 2014! Still, I'm really looking forward to 2015 and really hope that it brings a year full of happiness and success for me!

Join in on the fun and link up too!
