Hello to all!! A couple of you have asked either Eric or I about my new job. Well everyone is right, teachers are under paid!!!! My class is about 23 kids.

We are a bit behind on our updates, but we wanted to congratulate The La Rue’s and The Lambert’s on the much anticipated birth of their baby girls Lauren Elizabeth La Rue and Emma Katherine Lambert.

Wow my first post. Eric has been asking me to contribute to the site so here is my latest news. Most of you may already know, but my last day at Riviana was July 22. I had worked there for over three years in which I made wonderful friends. I have been accepted to begin training for the Pasadena Alternative Teacher Certification. It only took me 7 months to get a call, but it was worth it. Out of 500 applicants I was one of the 30 they accepted. I went on my first job interview 2 weeks ago and was offered a job on the spot (once you get in the program you still have to interview for a job). I will be teaching 4th grade bilingual class. I am so excited to have the opportunity to go to a job that I will feel I can make a difference. Now I must really get used to being called Mrs. Rasch!!!
