the first day of school

Yes, you read the title correctly!! Today was my first day of school. Without Doug, things were a little wierd this morning (I was actually early). And even though I didn't see a whole lot of him during the school day when he was there, I still felt like there was a little piece of me missing all day today. No one to email, no one to eat lunch with, no one to stop in and chat with (if I wanted to). But I made it through.

My classes were great today! I am excited about getting to know all of my new students. I am also excited about getting to use my curriculum (by Carnegie Learning) all year this year (as opposed to last year when we adopted it 1/4 of the way through the year).

Oh, by the way, I am featured in a few of their online info videos on their homepage www.carnegielearning.com. (Check it out!)

And for those of you who keep wondering about Doug's job situation...God did send a tiny little piece of confimation today that our "time in the desert" (my new name for this long period we've been waiting) has not been in vain!! We'll keep you posted as He begins to reveal exactly what He has planned for us!! (Thanks for your prayers....keep them coming!)
