The urge to write has hit me.
It's been a long first day. My English class was supposed to be my shining jewel; instead it is the biggest challenge. My New Testament class was supposed to be relaxed -- after reading student surveys I see just how much my students have to grow and myself along side them. I am slightly crestfallen and altogether hopeful. I'm thinking of Karen Douglas right now and her wonderful gift. She gave me a book called "Tomorrow is School and I'm sick to the Heart Thinking About It." Its resonating with me. It is about a man who takes on a school system with a majority of failing students. Although Kings is WONDERFUL, I feel my ideals about the classroom will be rocked and I will be challenged as I hope to see these kids succeed. Its going to be a busy year.
Second note. I want babies. More specifically, I want little boys. I want little boys to jump on the bed with and catch snakes with. Little mans that I can run around the park with. The ache is growing... I can't wait till our money problems are fully subsided so Josh and I can start a family. I know it will be another couple of years but I am excited and expectant. Its funy because I know that if my family saw this, they would throw a fit because they are so against us having kids any time soon. What else is new? No one ever agrees with our choices. We want to start soon... AHHH.... my heart aches... It will pass =)
