Update

Hello! Things aren't much different from the last time I updated. We're a little more unpacked. And we've hung pictures and shelves and stuff in the living room, so it looks more like a home.

We had a big snow this past week that canceled the two days of school the students would have had this week. It was pretty for a day, then it got annoying. Joey and I walked about a mile down the road or so to see what it was like on the roads. It was pretty impassable for the average car that first day. The second day was much better, so he took me out to lunch to cure my stir-craziness. So this means we're two days behind at school. And our wonderful county plans for us to make them up on the Thursday and Friday of spring break. I won't be there and already have arranged for a sub.

Why won't I be there? Because we're going to Disneyland (in California) for spring break. My parents were planning to go and we realized that it was going to cost us less than $1,000 to spend a week there, so we decided to splurge and go. It'll be a lot of fun. Joey has never done any Disney stuff and I've never been to Disneyland, so we're really excited.

The new semester starts on Wednesday. It looks like I have a good bunch of kids, so hopefully it'll be a good semester. The kids have a big state test at the end of the semester, so this will be a true test of my teaching ability. Yikes! But the teachers I work with have done this all before and have a plan. And I love plans :-) So it should be fine.

Well, I guess that's about it. Have a wonderful day!
