I can't believe it! We have been in school for about 12 weeks now and I feel like we just started. Now I know why all the teachers were scrambling to get stuff done at the end of the 9 weeks. I feel like nothing has changed since the last time I posted but I am sure there are some things.
Pat and I headed to Millersburg yesterday morning and made our second "big" purchase as a couple (our first was our sweeper). Pat is now the proud owner of a new (to us) Dodge truck. His truck did not have 4-wheel drive and with winter(yuck) right around the corner, we figured it was better to get a new truck then him not being able to get home. It was really a painless process and the people we worked with were great. It all happened in less than a week which is a little scary but hopefully it is a good thing.
Yesterday we had Lora, Phil, Andy and Sherwood up and went on a wine tour. Darcy and Chad joined us as well. We visited 4 of the wineries in Coshocton and did some tastings. We had a great time and ended here at the house to have dinner. We started at our first winery at 3 and ended at about 7:30 so we did pretty well. It was nice to have everyone together and just have a good time!
Volleyball is over. I had a great time this season and miss my girls. I had 18 girls this year so that was challenging but we made it through and the girls all improved so much. I think that is one of the most rewarding experinces of coaching. Seeing the girls from having no idea about the game and becoming a true team. Yes there were some days that I wanted to pull my hair out but they finally got there and I had so much fun with them.
School is still going well. I am really lucky to have some great kids. Even on days where they aren't on their best behavior I still love em! The best part is when the kids come in and are actaully upset that we don't get to read! I know reading isn't everything but I really think that it can help them. What job doesn't require any reading? It may not be something everyday but I think everyone has to read some.
Luke turned 8 on Saturday and we have his birthday party today. I still can't get over how old he is! He is getting so tall too. Pretty soon he is going to be a tall as me and I am going to have him in class. CRAZY! Now I know how all those people felt when they told me they remembered when I was only so tall or only however many years old.
Well like I said not a whole lot has been going on just our everyday life stuff!
