Day 3 - Getting Things Moved

Wow, what a day! And tomorrow is only going to be the same type of thing. School today was good - I had two parent conferences, an observation, and we spent a good part of the day working on our AR points. I am so glad that my students are wanting to read and that they actually love doing it. It is so great to see my first graders [soon to be second graders] reading chapter books! They continue to amaze me with what all they can do.

After school, I headed out to Dollar Tree to pick up some prizes for our Cereal box presentations this week. I am sooo looking forward to seeing all my students' creations - they are going to be great! I will try to share some of them on here tomorrow night if I can get them to upload.

Then Karl and I headed out to Mertzon and boy did we get a workout; Karl definitely more than myself but I did get some working in. We had some yummy food then Karl and I helped his parents move furniture around the house. It was a lot of work but what we did get done looks good. Lots more to do though; looking forward to all of it.

Exercise - Just working out in Mertzon on the house. We worked for the better part of 3 hours.

Word - For today's study you look into how Hannah, Jeremiah, and Daniel prayed to God and how they did so making sure to worship the Lord. Kay Arthur also expressed the deep need for us to know the Word and this was also shown through the prayers of Hannah, Jeremiah, and Daniel. All truth is found in His Word and I want to learn more about it!

To bed - busy day tomorrow!

If this happens one more time . . .

Anyone know a good cell phone service provider? This is the second time that we worked with someone at AT&T and I am about ready to switch providers. We went in there today to get my phone moved to Karl's plan, which we had to get a form filled out by my mom (well, kinda :), it helps when I can sign like mom; it's not like I didn't have her permission) in order to do so. We walked in and talked to this guy, gave him the form, and we thought that he understodd what we needed to be done and he just started going. We got to the point where I would pick out a phone and he started getting stuff ready and I re-asked him, after he wanted to know what number I wanted to use for it, if my phone was now on Karl's plan and he just went crazy on us. Basically he said that we never told him that that is what we wanted. He was very rude, basically saying that it was our fault that he did all this work for nothing. It was very disheartening and I really wanted to tell him to forge...

New Journey . . . Diamond Club

What does it take to make a diamond? Any ideas? According to Wikipedia, you know the source for all things, a diamond is "formed at high temperature[s] and pressure". Karl and I are excited to announce that we will be taking part in journey. A journey that will, hopefully, push us to Diamond. It will take a lot of work but we are excited for this opportunity for our team. What is Diamond Club? Why is this so exciting? Maybe this video will explain it better. Diamond Club creates a great opportunity for EVERYONE! It allows Karl and I to travel to areas that want to grow and also allows for new members to receive additional products with their enrollment and subsequent LRP orders. Free stuff??? Yes, please!!! It really is a great opportunity for everyone on our team. We are looking forward to the immense growth that will happen because of this wonderful opportunity. So you may be asking, how do I get involved? What does this look like exactly? Basically we...

Writer's Corner Number 8

Typed from written Journal Entry: I thought I’d change it up a bit and try writing in journal form tonight. I am also curious to see the difference in length of writing for both writing formats. Dr. Semingson suggested incorporating pictures into our journal writings/posts. I don’t have any pics from growing up – they are all at my dad’s house in Michigan – but I can start adding new pics from Alaska, especially when it comes time to talk about our honeymoon adventures there. Today I want to start by talking about earthquakes. I want to preface this “talk” with a story from when I moved to Texas. Not long into the start of my 7th grade year we practice emergency drills. I remember one of my teachers talking about what to do in case of an emergency: crouch down with your head near a wall and cover your head. I remember thinking that getting near a wall wouldn’t be the safest thing in the world but I didn’t argue – I didn’t know what that emergency drill was for. Now that I’m olde...
