Rhode Island Folks

Sorry for my hiatus. :upsidedow Thank you for your prayers, but I and the family are fine, but I have been troubled with a very difficult decision the past couple of months..

I have left my position at Bishop Keough, where I proudly taught for 10 years. Unfortunately financial restrictions have required me to seek out alternate employment. I hope and pray I can soon return to what I truly love doing, teaching at Keough. Teaching at Keough is not only a love for me, it's a passion. I believe a school is just a building, but once you add the students you then have an institution. So it is the students I love and so miss. Breaks my heart on some levels to not be there, but I had to do what was right for me and most importantly, my family.

I have taken a position with the US Census Bureau as Assistant Manager of Technology in Providence. I do believe when I do get back in the classroom my experience at Census 2010 will make me a better teacher! :teacher:

Now, we need a meet...absolutely! I like the idea of Lincoln Woods. I volunteer to bring my grill, along with a 10 lb package of Little Rhody Hot Dogs...is there any other? :confused3 I propose it for Sunday June 13, or Sunday June 27? Does this sound good? I figure by then the water will be warm enough for swimming. So what say ye Rhody-ites?

I just booked my airfare for June 30-July 7. This is me :scared1: when I saw the fare price! I guess the days of $110 round trips are GONE. :rolleyes: We are staying at Bay Lake in a 1 br, Magic Kingdom View :cool1: My plan is to watch the 4th of July display from my balcony, OR from the lounge at the top with a cool beverage.
 
Hi Rick, nice to hear from you. So sorry that you had to leave Keough, hope it all works out for you.

Either one of those June dates sound good to me. Good job for getting the ball rolling!!

We leave in 47 days for our last minute trip with cousins, can't wait, the boys are getting so excited!! Wishing a great trip to our RI April vacationers!! I'll take any tips for our trip!

I have posted a poll and thread for this grand event, it is at: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2440336

You can vote for multiple options so be sure to pick the place and date. I would like to solidify it by Sunday April 24th so we can start planning.

Also, last year we had discussed some sort of commerative tshirt. I have one in mind and will post it up on my website soon.

Wooohoooo Rick...welcome back!!!!!!!! Looks like you jumped right in with both feet!!!!!! We missed you! I am so very sorry that you have had a difficult winter and such tough decisions to make. Praying all works out for you and you family.

Both dates are fine...I'm a wee bit more partial to the 27 so that there is no school the next day! Ok..off to vote.....and ummmm shouldn't I be packing instead of dis'ing?!?!:confused3:confused3:surfweb:

Lori great idea about the 27th so there's no school the day after! Sure you should be packing but the Disboards are a great way to get in the mood!

I have my week check off list made, so I can start my ritual before we leave on Saturday. The kids are going nuts, and I not so sure they will make it through the week. Our youngest actually go his school back pack and started to fill it with stuff for the car, and cried when he realized he had to wait 5 more days!!! :goodvibes poor thing!
