teach. hike. love.

My typical day consists of tying shoes, answering the same question 6 times, and watching multiple nose pickers blatantly dig for gold while making direct eye contact with me. The life of an elementary teacher is far from boring. As many people like to constantly point out, teachers have the "summer off." *Insert heavy eye roll* Although I personally work 2 jobs year-round, in my free time you can catch me on one of the million outstanding trails in the PNW. Born and raised here, strangely I didn't get into hiking until a few years ago, and now, I'm making up for lost time! Between the creative and fun things we do in my classroom, and all of the incredible trails and views I explore, I thought using a blog as a platform to recount these memories would be something I could look back on years from now and cherish. If you choose to spend a portion of your own free time reading this, I will now disclaim that I am not a professional journalist, I suck with technology, and I'm surprised I even know what a blog is. Reader discretion is advised. And if you are reading this- thank a teacher.
