Tonight was Open House at school. Although my presentation got started late and went over time, I had a packed classroom full of parents. Brenda, Michelle, Emily, and I went out to dinner afterwards at Uncle Bo's. We enjoyed pupus and gossiped about the latest staff dramas. It was loud, and the bar was crowded. It was nice to hang out with the girls though and not have to worry about Chase at home with daddy. I came home close to 10:30 pm and promptly turned on the TV to watch the final gymnastics competition to see Nastia Liukin win the all-around gold in the Olympics.
About Me
- Tanya Mau-Halsall
- I am a 33 year old elementary school teacher, born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i. After living in Seattle and overseas in Thailand for a total of 12 years, I returned to Hawai'i to help take care of my father, who was diagnosed with ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gherig's Disease, in October 2004. After 2 1/2 years of watching his body slowly decline, my father earned his wings April 2007 and is no longer suffering. The past couple of years was spent sharing valuable time together and making more memories, as my father got to "walk" me down the aisle, though he was a couple months shy of seeing the birth of his first grandchild. And now, with new life, the journey continues with baby Chase, as I learn how to balance teaching, marriage, and being a mom. This online journal is a way for me to express myself, through my love of traveling, photography, and writing, while keeping in touch with family and friends.
