Yo Blogging Buddy

What's up? Time to catch up. First of all I didn't get the 6th grade job. Another candidate they interviewed had 6th grade experience. So these days I find myself with the job title "educational assistant" for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades at Southeast Christian School in Parker. Although it is a good school, I miss DC! Packing up my 4th grade classroom was the most heart-wrenching thing I have ever had to do. I cried for two hours and I'm the type that rarely cries. I dearly miss teaching Bible and leading morning devos. :( I've spent the past week of school assessing reading and listening to 101 kids read the same stories over and over and over again. Not at all thrilling, but not difficult either.

Young Life started up again last weekend. This year we split our club into two smaller clubs, one for each high school in Parker, hoping to reach more kids. Seven kids came, which wasn't bad except that it was a reminder that we have our work cut out for us. There are well over 1,000 kids to reach in each high school alone. It is fun to hang out with the old leaders and kids and meet new ones too. I can't wait for leadership camp in a couple of weeks!

I've decided that I need to find a church this year. I find myself floating not wanting to stay in the "reformed bubble" but clinging tightly to it all at the same time. Somehow I think God is going to use this time in my life to teach me something. I just can't wait to find out what.

I also decided that I'm ready to move back to the MW. I wonder what my San Francisco born boyfriend will think of that. I also wonder how long it will be before I make it to the mountains and change my mind.

Things to look forward to this week:
- house/pet sitting for ten days starting on Friday
- Sushi on Friday
- having a weeknight free with no papers to grade!
- working out and whipping my butt back into shape

Books I'm reading:
- The Case For Faith by Lee Strobel
- Every Woman's Battle

I'm tired. Goodnight!
