Time Marches On

Sorry for the lengthy delay in posting.  Life certainly has been busy for us.  

Josh returned to work, full time in the classroom, on February 3rd.  He had two weeks with the students and then enjoyed this week off for his Winter Break.  Of course, he has had his share of stories.  Some funny, some frustrating.  The change from combat zone to kindergarten classroom is one that I am not sure I can understand.  He marches on each day, ready to take on more.  

He has spent time in the school this week, even though on vacation.  He has come up with several great ideas which has resulted in a lot of laminating and cutting.  It's the big 100th day of school celebration on Tuesday, so he has treat bags ready to go for all of his students.  Tuesday is also National Pancake Day, in case anyone was wondering.  We will be celebrating with pancakes for dinner that night!  

Work for me has been very busy.  I had a big Alumni guest on campus a week ago, which kept me very busy and Honors Convocation and Commencement preparations are in full swing, but I have wonderful interns who are just super to have around this semester.  

We head off to the Lake George area next weekend for our first Re-Integration Weekend... nothing like forced military fun!  Josh is so lucky - he gets to wear his uniform all weekend!!! (Sarcastic - very sarcastic!)   We know it has it's purpose, but the excitement/anticipation is just not there.  At least we enjoy being in the car together when we travel!   Be sure to check back for a full report on RIW #1!!
