New life
Ok, so I know its been a while. Well all summer really...
Today was the second day of school. And for those of you who haven't heard, I LOVE MY NEW JOB! Everyone here is just amazing, the administrator is wonderful, the other teachers are so much fun to be around. We even hang out after school and on the weekends! It is this total polar opposite from last year. My class is really small this year, I have 8 maybe 9 students. I have one that hasn't come yet and I'm not sure if he is or not. But so far things are going well. They are pretty well behaved, for 10 and 11 year old boys. (I only have 2 girls.) My classroom is in the basement, which has its bonuses but the bad thing is the 3/4th grade class is directly above mine and Jon, the teacher, seems to think it is really funny to have all his students jump up and down. Basically it creates an earthquake like experience for us "down under".
The sad thing is that my grandma passed away last Friday night. My parents called to let me know, so tomorrow morning I am driving over to Boise to help with funeral stuff. The funeral is on Thursday morning. It wasn't a shock that we lost her, but I really haven't had any time to myself to take it all in. Yvonne, my boss has been super great and told me to take as much time as I needed to be with my family. Like I said, everyone here is great.
I ma excited to go home so I can see the baby. I talked to my sister on Sunday and things seem to be going well for her. It's just so sad to see them try to deal with having their first born in the NICU. She and Dave were up for my installation on Sunday and it was sad to watch them look at another baby, you can tell they just want theirs to be home and healthy. I guess it will happen eventually, its just a long time to get there.
I will try and be better at posting, but seriously, this summer was insane for me...Between moving, the baby, my grandma, new school, new grade...I've been busy.
