Fantastic

Well, I know that God made me to be a teacher. I was so excited to start school and I loved the first day of it! My class will be great this year... including all the different challenges that may present themselves. I am really thrilled to be teaching. So for those of you wondering how the day went... it went very well!! Hope you all had a great day too!! God bless!

Getting Ready

Well, school starts this Tuesday and I am ready for it to begin. I feel ready for the school year and I am so excited to have the students start coming to class. I think that I must feel more confident in my teaching and in running a class. My room is ready and I even have everything filed away this year!! (no piles of paper laying on the floor!!) So far I have 23 students and more than likely I will end up with more than that. (at least that is what usually happens). Let's see, what else... well I will have two animals in my classroom and Desert Gecko and a Teddy Bear Hamster. They are very cute and fun. I think that the students will really like the animals. OK, well that is the start of the year so far.

There and Back Again

KC was fantastic. I enjoyed spending time with my in-laws and with Paul's brother and his family. It was jam packed with fun things to do. We explored downtown KC, went to a Royals game, Branson, Silver Dollar City, swimming, Liverpool Legends etc. It was great. I felt tired during the week, I think just because I needed to relax. It was a perfect beginning to going back to school next week. I am excited for school to start. Yippee!!

Bethany left the day Paul and I returned from KC. I was so sad that I missed seeing her before she left. It was wonderful to have her around this summer. Mary is getting ready to go to school too. I am really going to miss having her around here. I haven't had a chance to hang out with her as much this summer. I am hoping to grab some lunch with her next week.

Before I sign off I wanted to write about one of the funny things that happened on our KC trip. First, Paul and I and Judy and Dave went to a Royals game on buck night. Buck night means that you can get a hot-dog for a buck, a coke for a buck etc. We thought that was pretty cool. So about the third inning we got into line to get dinner. We waited and waited. Finally Paul told me to go sit and he and Dave would wait for the dogs. They ended up waiting until the bottom of the 6th inning to get their hot-dogs!! I felt so bad for them! Oh, well, Judy and I enjoyed watching the game! :)

Kansas City here we come!

Well I can tell that we needed a vacation!! We made it to Judy and Dave's and Paul and I just crashed!!! I was so tired all day today and I actually think that I am a bit run down and fighting the beginning of a cold. yucky! Today we just laid low and looked around KC. Tomorrow we are going to see the Twins play the KC Royals. It should be fun. I guess it "buck night" because all food etc. is a dollar. :) It should be a fun evening!
