School has started and my thoughts have been in a whirl ever since. So many meetings and so many things to get organized. I love my job, once all this beginning stuff is done.
I think that every teacher has a student that he/she connects with. I did this with a former student, at a former school. I talk to her and her family almost weekly. Last week I learned that she may have a brain tumor. On Friday, I had a good cry and then went over to see her. She doesn't fully understand the impact of what is happening, but that doesn't make it any easier for her parents. I love this child and I love her family. Please keep her in your prayers.
Last night, my nephew, Josh, left for Afghanistan. He is a mechanic in the Marines. I still remember the day his momma called me to tell me that he was born. I can't believe that little boy is grown and is a soldier. I pray that he returns to us in 7 months, safe and sound.
Last Saturday, Tom and I finally celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. We had an awesome time on an inflatable kayak trip down the Rio Grande River. I kept thinking about how that river was much like our marriage. We had to maneuver a lot of rocks. Some of the rough waters were actually fun when we figured out how to work together. The still waters were deep, but we were able to rest from rowing and just let the river carry us. Here are some pictures from our adventures on the river.
