My new job... I've prefaced it a few times now... I must say that I LOVE MY NEW JOB! I have something like 35 students on my caseload between 2 schools that range from PK-8th grade. I don't see the PK kids or the "Challenge" class (our severe needs self-contained class) at either school. This announcement made me sad as I truly enjoy the PK kids as well as the challenges presented by the self-contained classes, both elementary and middle school ranges. But my kids are amazing and with luck, most of my students that are at the Middle School (5th to 8th grade) will be on consult or dismissed this year. Jeffco is an amazing school district with amazing support for the staff and students.
This month also brought Ian a new job... FINALLY! I kept telling him that something would come along that would be perfect for him. He is working for a handy man company doing a variety of handy man tasks. He is enjoying his job so far and I am so thrilled that he has a job!
Last weekend we hosted one of my long-time friends, Ana for the night. A night wasn't long enough to fully catch up with my friend, but for now it will have to do. She currently lives in Canada in the Northern region of the Rockies while we are in the Southern region of the Rockies. She and I have been friends since 4th grade and have managed to stay in contact through different high schools, college (her being at Eastern State, Georgia, and Emporia while I was at TU), our living in different states (me Texas and then OK and her in Kansas) and now in different countries! Crazy to think how time brings people together and how friendships last over the years!
This weekend our friend from high school (well my friend from high school, Ian's from middle school) is in town visiting another friend so with any luck we will get to see him tomorrow!
We haven't had much of an update on my grandma Austin since I last posted on facebook, for those of you that aren't familiar with my facebook notes I will repost the newest report that we have on my grandma Austin and her health. So far, she is continuing to be healthy and it appears that the cancer isn't affecting her, for which I am grateful! Grandma update to be posted soon... probably later this weekend!
