I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a looong time. I think it's partly because I feel like I'm writing to myself. I got to thinking... I talk to myself...why can't I write to myself? So, let's get you (me) up-to-date.
Family
Mom and Dad just celebrated their 50th anniversary. We had family pictures taken and one big family portrait done at the cabin. We gave them the pictures at a dinner at Busters. Everyone had a great time. Oh, except Megan. She was in agony with a bad back. We've all been there. That's an awful pain. Hope you're feeling better Megan. You probably are since you won't read this blog --- ever.
Speaking of Megan, she just got a promotion at work. She is now working full-time at Geisinger. She has benefits and everything! Bad back, adult job... Wow. I think she's all grown up now.
My family is doing great. We have new neighbors now. Isaac is in heaven having someone to play with on a daily basis. Roy and I are loving it too. These neighbors are terrific people. We couldn't have asked for better. We have been spending a lot of time together.
Roy is laid off and has been since January. Rumor is that he'll be going back to work in August. Let's hope so. Being home is all the time is beginning to bug him.
Work
I've changed jobs. I'm now the senior high learning support teacher. I was almost the Emotional Support teacher. I consider myself lucky right now. Although I haven't tried to get senior high kids to actually do anything yet. This is going to be quite the transition year at school. We're getting a new principal and I'm getting 4 grade levels of kids whom are all taller than me. I'll either be blogging a lot more or not at all once school is underway. We'll see.
Other
Another transition I'll be making at work is being there without Chris Shultz. She's fighting a battle with cancer. She was tested, diagnosed, and started chemo within a weeks' time at the beginning of July. I can't explain how this event has affected me. I think about her all the time. I feel helpless most of the time, in awe of her strength all of the time. There has been some good news already (thank God), but she has a battle ahead of her.
I hear footsteps coming in the room so I'll have to go now. I'll be updating more often - I promise? Pictures - a lot of pictures - I hope.
