I'm such a blog loser!

Regardless of however much I intend to write on this stupid blog, I always become neglectful, making my blog the loser that it is. So with summer quickly approaching I have a new and surprising goal...write more!!! Ok, not really surprising, but I really mean it this time. Really!!!

We shall see...

As this school year comes to a close, I'm taking into account all the changes I've gone through since last summer. Matt's job change, my job change, our move away from both our families, adjusting to a new life in a smaller community, making new friendships, learning to work with new types of students, and unfortunately not cooking as much! As I reflect on this past few months, so much good has come from it. We've made some fabulous new friends at the college where Matt works. I've learned that 1) 8th graders are 8th graders no matter what their socio-economic status or family background; 2) a 2 hour and 40 minute drive back "home" really isn't that bad; 3) living in a Lustron home is nothing like living in a metal shed; 4) not having a mortgage is GREAT; and finally 5) change is good.
