Hello, all! Don't expect much excitement from our blog, but at least we can communicate on a grand scale. For those that didn't know, our school system blocked everything, and our home computer was awful. We've just upgraded our home media; we still have our phone landline, but finally have dsl and dvr. Even better, we're saving a bunch each month! I've bought a new camera as well, so pictures will be forthcoming.
We're enjoying the beautiful spring weather, and even some rain! We're still in drought status, but I'm not sure what level. We're tackling this yard that is a jungle.
The school year is winding down quickly - 3 1/2 weeks left! We're very busy with wild kids, field trips, etc. It's tiring, but I love it. I'm also applying for 1 of St. Clair County's 5 grants to pay for the National Board Certification process ($2600). It involves writing, video, and recommendations. Please pray! I'll have the 2nd year of the two week summer training for AMSTI (Alabama Math/Science/Technology Initiative). It may be the beginning of June, or the beginning of July. Hope to find out soon! In June, I am officially the president of my teacher sorority, the Delta Eta chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International. Yikes! I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into, but hopefully I'll do ok. Summer is looking VERY busy.
We're looking forward to meeting the Boog Cronley family at the Pearl River Resort this weekend for some Marin time, casino, pool, and golf. Can't wait! Greg's family will also be coming from Florida and Texas in the upcoming weeks. Lots of picture opportunities!
My voice is pretty good. It's tightening a bit. I'm going to push it until the end of June. That will be 5 months between shots. We'll see what happens. Hopefully I'll be able to talk when Mom, John, and Ann come south! Can't wait to see them!
