first day of school:very nice. i'm really going to like this district. although it is a great district, i still feel like i'm going to be challenged and needed which is a good feeling. its strange teaching language arts. it will be a very interesting year. i've heard good things from other school as well. they seem to really like the new principal and what she is bringing to the school. it does kind of make me sad that i left. i really miss my friends. it is hard to be new and really really shy.i'm tired but can't get my brain to stop spinning. i really want to get to school early tomorrow but am afraid i'm going to be really tired. it is really hard to stay after when it is so hot. i wish schools could afford air conditioners. oh well... i do have a smart board.eddie got a 100% on a quiz today. i'm very proud of him. he has worked so hard.i'm also getting to type on his new computer which makes me feel very privaledged:)i'm going to really try to go to sleep. i can't wait to sleep this weekend and it is only tuesday.
just so that everyone knows... if your dryer starts adding the amount of time it takes to dry clothes, get your vent cleaned out. who knew?:) the things you learn when you become an adult.so while the chimney sweep is cleaning out our vent, and yes he did bring his top hat:), i'm stressing about what needs to be done to my classroom. eddie leaves tomorrow. very sad for my selfish self. however, very exciting about Jason. if there is anyone who knows what it means to be kind to "the least of these," it is eddie. sometimes i am to quick to judge... but he always forgives. it makes me a better person. anyways, he is graduating from boot camp. he finally feels direction, like his life has purpose. the military is amazing for some people.people always complain about politics and how evil corrupts... but i met someone yesterday in the midst of a big oops, and for once i didn't judge. my heart went out to him and his family... and i just prayed. i don't want to name, names. but can you imagine? being a person in power. starting out fresh with ideas, ready to bring change... and letting your humaness take over:( so i've commited to pray. til next time
i finally understand what it's like to have lost a posthere is a brief of what was lost and then i must get ready for bed.eddie started anatomy. his first words were "how will i do this." on a more positive note, he used his office for the first time today. i am still in the process of making it more homey. i'm not the decorator of the family, so i need some help.we finally got back to bcn. thanks for the welcome, brad. we are excited to get more involved and make you are family.i had my first day of meetings. i am really excited about the passion this district not only has for its students but also the faculty. the problem with meetings though is you can always think of a million things you would rather be workign on. if you can think of a way that you are "family" to me. please contact me asap. big news and i was specifically told family is fair game:)
family~ those of you who consider themselves family... contact me. i have news:)eddie started anatomy today. i really don't know what the big deal is. it can't be too much information = there are only five muscles in the back:) jk. eddie's stressed. his first words were "what am i going to do." we put together a nice office. it isn't very homey yet... but i will be working on that soon. anyways, eddie finally worked in their for the first time. i have tried very hard to be the good domestic wife. i took him tea and a rice crispy treat and didn't say a word. other than that, i left him alone. i hope this means that he feels like he can get things done:) i started meetings today. northmont seems like an amazing district. i really feel like it is a family. something i have needed.finally made it back to bcn. thanks brad for the welcome! we are excited to spend time and get to know the bcn family! they have a beth moore BIble study that i hope to join. i should probably get on their website and find out more information. also a 5k race on sept 9. i'm going to do that, too. i hope to find a running partner at my new school... i miss you janelle.des is hopefully coming this weekend. i'm having des withdrawel. it is still really hard to think that you can't just go downstairs or down the sidewalk to hang out with your girlfriends. i'm so glad to have made the relationships that i did at mt vernon.off to create a slide show about me. maybe i'll post it later.
my mother finally updated her post... so i guess it is time for me as well:)eddie and i are home again: 31 Clover Street, Dayton Ohio 45410. it has taken a month and a half to make it home. we had several little projects to complete. my mom refers to this as dad's work and witness trip. i like to think of it more like bonding. technically dad has probably done more at a and j's home!!!! (do you like that side note, mom:))we are very blessed to be here. it was built in 1886 and is in a historic district. this neighborhood has a lot of potential still... absolutely beautiful. eddie really likes it, too. although he did take me past a house yesterday that had been rebuilt from the foundation and wants to live in a historic home like that someday:) eddie started med school yesterday. i'm very proud and excited for him. his pre-matriculation class in july was really interesting. he even had profs come up to him on Sunday saying that they had heard good things about him.we also found a church:) yeah!! beavercreek church of the nazarene. we haven't had the opportunity to attend since we first moved in, but look foward to sunday and a normal routine starting:)other than that nothing new... that's news yet anyways.
