Monday, the kids and I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Chad Lewis charity golf tournament.  The tournament was held at the Promonotory Golf Club in Park City.  The proceeds raised at this golf classic benefited the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  Our assignment was to man a booth at hole 10 and greet the golfers.  The kids passed out Creamies and I had the honor of educating high profile business men about cystic fibrosis.  The experience was actually quite enjoyable.  The only downside was the wind!  We did get lucky and got a spot that was somewhat sheltered from the wind, but it just blew and blew.  The theme of the tournament could have very well been “Blow Away CF.”  We did have mostly sunny skies and warm weather.  It wasn’t until we drove back down the canyon into Salt Lake that we got into some rain.  The kids were on their best behavior and were very good representatives for the CF Foundation.

We all had a J Dawg at the tournament an they were absolutely fantastic!  They have to be the most amazing hot dogs ever!  If you are ever in Provo, you need to get yourself a J Dawg.  I promise it will be the best you’ve ever tasted.

If any of you in the CF community get a call next year asking for your help with this fund raiser, it was a great experience for the kids and I.  I highly recommend it.

On a side note, I finally got to sign my teaching contract for the 2011-2012 school year!  I’m so excited!  The stars have aligned perfectly for this one.  It’s kindergarten (I have experience in kindergarten)…it’s part time (full time would have been quite the challenge)…it’s in the afternoon (Julia will have afternoon preschool next year)…it’s in Granite School District (my kids go to school in  Granite so schedules will align)…it’s only a 15 minute drive from home (I despise commuting)…it comes with medical insurance benefits (the out of pocket will be half of what we’re paying now)!  Truly, it couldn’t be more perfect.  I’m so excited and relieved to be employed!  This is a huge for our family.
