Josh & I are going through some rough stuff right now. Our relationship is strong (so don’t think that it’s relationship problems…cuz it’s not), but we just have some difficult challenges right now. Please pray…God knows what is going on and we would really appreciate blankets of prayer right now. Thanks. Oh, and I just Read More
I was walking down the sidewalk of my apartment complex and no other human being was in sight. I could, however, hear a play-by-play of the superbowl coming from about every other window. People had their apartments filled, windows open, superbowl blaring, and occasional cheers/jeers. It was such an interesting cultural commentary that everyone (except Read More
The PBCC Jr. Highers had an ice-skating-then-broomball night tonight. It was a ton of fun. They gave me these wretched skates at first which made my feet hurt so bad, I swear I felt a hearbeat in my arches. I returned them and put on hockey skates, which were difficult for me to skate in, Read More

I have also received a bunch of spam regarding penis enlargement, Viagra, and psychic readings (among other things). Anyway, it is SO IRRITATING!

Yesterday my new students this semester were working on a student information sheet that asked them questions so I could get to know them better. One of the questions was: If you could have two superpowers, what would they be and why? The students were excited to write down their answers and were having great Read More
Today Josh presented the PBCC Jr. High site to the Jr. Highers. He really worked hard on the site and I do say he did a really kick-butt job on it. Anyhoo, he came in this morning with my laptop and was hooking it up to a projector and whatnot so it could be projected Read More
Tonight I called Josh before I came home from work and asked him if we could go out for dinner. “And not somewhere normal, somewhere nice.” He said okay, even though he had band practice later in the evening. So, we went to the Olive Garden. We didn’t dress up or anything…wait, Josh did change Read More
Well…I’ve just been mocked because of my lack of blogging recently. Seriously, I’ve been freaking tired. First, I’ve been working on a website for a local organization, cutting speech pieces, grading a slew of student work from 2nd quarter, prepping for 3rd quarter (which started Tuesday with all new students…whew!). To top it all of, Read More
