The Tundra Teacher: Summer in the Lower 48

I cannot possibly begin to put into words how incredible our summer was. Marriage, two honeymoons, and lots of time with family and friends. It really could not have been any better. We are, however, very much ready to head back to our little place in Alaska and get back into our normal routine. We have a lot to look forward to this school year. Lucas switched classrooms and now we will be teaching right next door to each other everyday. Lucas is the only middle school math teacher (finally!) and will also be teaching 6th grade science and PE. I have one less course to teach (4 instead of 5), and only one is new to me (Alaska History). I am also starting a Masters of Education Program in Reading and Literacy Education through Benedictine University in Illinois. We are excited for a busy, but an even better year together than the last. Here are several pictures that highlight our summer. The best day, of course, being the day I married my best friend :)
