3 weeks til our son graduates from the 8th grade. It's a big deal at our school....especially since Ryan has gone to JT since PK. Honestly, that time flew by and left me with my head spinning. It's not a small fee to graduate from the 8th grade. Let's see....we've laid down more than $400 for the class trip...(b/c we're all 5 going!!), another $150 on a tux, and then there will be some to pay towards the after party. Oh...and I have to get a new dress!!! I'm just wondering how much I'll have shell out for senior graduation....and that'll be the year that Kaylyn graduates from the 8th grade too!!!! Gee Whiz!!!!
This is totally random but my intern was doing a lesson today on the planets......here's what I heard...."Did you guys know that Ur-anus is the gassiest planet in our solar system?" Oh my goodness....I laughed so hard (away from the innocent children of course). Oh and then I hear this as they are doing their planet mobile from a child: "What color is Ur-anus?" I think that's rather private...don't you think??? Again, I'm laughing hysterically!!!! Teaching is such a fun job and I get much exercise from laughing daily!!!!

Oh my....
I didn't realize that's it's been over a month since I've last updated my blog!! Well...let's see if I can remember to include all the things that have touched my life these past few weeks... For starters, I lost a colleague to lung cancer. She was truly a lovely person...passionate about anything that had to do with books. She enjoyed children and stretching their brains. She loved her family dearly and I came to realize in the past few months of her life that she was a Christian. I know where she is now...but it doesn't make the void she left behind any less sad. She is missed....Dear Teresa....I'm walking in Relay for Life next week for you sweetie!!!
I've had to enroll our son in high school this week. CHS has changed alot in the last 22 years. Courses have changed...the campus has changed and the teachers have changed. But one thing remains....they still have a nutty mascot: Zebras!!! I do feel a little old now. Why the crap do parents have sign this piece of paper that gives the school permission to teach my child about STD's and AIDs? Why have we let our society get to the point where schools have to teach those things because it isn't taught at home?? Why must we be politically correct when talking about sin? Why can't sin just be called sin because it is sin instead of sugar coating it and making excuses for it? (Can't believe I just got off on that tangent in the second paragraph!!)
Kevin and I have forever been talking about building onto our house. We'll talk about it and then table the discussion because we're both scared about the extra financial part of the equation. But...we've opened up the discussion again. This time we're going to have an architect come and let us know how we can add on and what our options are....then I suppose we'll look at the options and figure out if it's something we want to dive into. I know our home is a blessing from God and we are so blessed to have a place to call home.
I guess I'll finish this up and write more later!!!!
