Tomorrow, is my last day of practice teaching. It has been a long hard ride, but the end of this year of Montessori training is in sight. Today has been a good day. We were able to get a special dispensation from the California DMV to have our car smogged when we return in July and Alex was able to get a YEAR extension for renewing his driver's licence. I was worried that I would have to drive all the 3,000 miles home to Cali in July, but now I do not have to. Happy Day!
Because tomorrow is my last day at this lovely school in Maryland I'm making my yogurt cake. Though I made an extra one for Alex and I. For ours I made a few tweaks to the original recipe. I'm calling this one the new and improved yogurt cake!
