We're not dead...

Just really lazy. So it may seem (with the lack of anything posted at all on our blog) that we have ceased to exist and have fallen into the furthest reaches of some sort of elevator-music filled limbo. Fear not. I am here to tell you that Christen and Mike still breathe and walk among you. Amongst you? Never could remember that one. Anyway. This who ramble was to say that some interesting posts are soon coming. We have been doing some fun things this summer. I have just been too lazy to walk down to the car to get my camera to upload pictures of said events each time I think about writing on the blog.

It goes a little something like this...

Wow. I should really write on our blog. It has been at least a month and a half. We have done some fun things. I know many people are just dying to read about our exploits and they are probably losing sleep with this hiatus of information. Oh wait. The camera is still in the car. I don;t want to write about some of these things if I don't the pictures. It would be like reading a book with no pictures (boring). But I don't want to go out to the car....... Oh well, everyone can just wait.

Seriously. That has happened like six times in the last few weeks. It may even be as many as seven times.

But, as I said. Never fear mortals. Some actually interesting posts with pictures (the camera is still in the car) are forthcoming.

In the meantime, let this post serve as a trailer. The lights have just dimmed. You've already eaten three-fourths of your popcorn. You get excited about the movie and the green light comes on to say that this preview has been approved for children of all ages.

We went to Monterey not long ago. We also got to go to an authentic Swedish midsummer celebration. I was literally giddy. We had a Danielson family reunion. Christen is working hard at school. I've been teaching summer school. But the big news (they always save the coolest explosions for the end of the trailer) is that I just got offered a job teaching middle school language arts. I have been teaching fifth grade at Challenger for two and a half years and have always wanted to get into middle school so I can specialize my subjects (I am no good at math or science). So starting in the fall I will be a middle school teacher. Totally excited. It did come with some drawbacks though. I will be at a different campus so I have to say good-bye to my friends and students. That was really hard to swallow. It is fun seeing the kids you taught as they grow up and still think you're an okay dude. But this is what I wanted and I didn't see it happening at the campus I am at now. So even though I am sad to leave, I am happy to do what I want to do. Boom! Boom! Screech! Ka-Pow! Then all the people in the theater look at the person next to them and say, "I want to see that." Only it is our blog. so you have to read it.

So be cool. Enjoy the summer weather. And stay tuned for actual posts with actual events. And full color pictures in eye-popping 3D.

(3D not available on all computers. In fact it isn't available on any computer but if you squint your eyes it will look like a 3D movie if you take off your glasses to see what it would look like.)

Coming Soon!!!
