The return?

Alot has happened but one of the best things was Jimmy and Desi's wedding, the day camp ended. Here's one of my fave pics from that night.
Well, since it has been almost a year, I will post again. This has been an interesting year to say the least. I am now a permanent fixture at GH where I will continue teaching 5th grade until I don't know when. Interviewing was a nerve-wracking experience but totally felt the prayers and well wishes of my loved ones. Being permanent is still a bit shocking but I am really excited. My radical team of teachers that I worked with closely all this year is being split up with Schub moving down to 4th grade and a teacher named Kari returning. I'm a little nervous about this and also in mourning at losing my good friend to another grade level. She is an amazing teacher and they are lucky to have her but I am a bit selfish and wanted to keep her to us in the 5th grade wing.

School is out on June 17th and I am ready. This has been a tough year and I am in need of some respite. My group this year has been a bit taxing and pretty much have sucked the life out of me. My friends can comiserate -- they often wonder if I am alive.

Anywho, I am leaving for Tuba City on the Saturday after school gets out and then to JTS at Delano Bay in June. In between and after, lots of house/dog sitting jobs are in the works. I am hoping for some good familia time as well in Idaho.

Well, I am off to get some work done on my schoolwork -- Thank You God for today.
