New position

Well I did it!  Finally!  I interviewed and got a position at a new school-Stocking Elementary.  I am SO excited to take my colleagues Katie and Jessica with me.  And, and, AND I get to work with my all-time favorite principal JoAnn.  We are starting up a new school together.  It actually felt really good to interview and get a position- like I did it on my own merit, not just because I had enough years to move where I wanted to go.  So now I am trying to split my things from Congress things. 14 years is a long time to differentiate materials!

Micah's headaches finally went away.  Those months were the most brutal time for me as a parent.  Someday I will blog about the whole experience, but not yet.  Just know things are not always as they seem with your children.  I learned a lot about parenting this year.

Boys are officially seniors now.  Um. Time.  Stop. Now.  Please.

2013

It is already April.  It has been raining here like crazy.  All of the rivers are flooded and many of the lakes are too.  The Grand and Rogue Rivers are past flood stage and even West River drive was closed due to flooding for a time.  2013 has not been my most favorite year so far.  We found out hat Noah has a heart condition known as WPW syndrome and Micah has been suffering through headaches for two months now.  He has missed so much school; my heart just aches for him.  Jacob is healthy as a horse and continues to love his stage work.  We paid our house off in February only to have governor Snyder take most of that payment back in fees, insurances, and other unfair taxes.  I guess it is a blessing to have the house payment off our plate- one less thing to fret.  I know 2013 will get better, I just know it.  God continues to be good.
