Mission: Accomplished
I don't really feel much like typing now. Valerie=tired out, and I'm in the mood for a nap. :-) However, I noticed today how incredibly delinquent my posting has been, and felt that I should really update people on my goings-on.
First, Brook and I had a wonderful time in Hawaii. There are STILL unfinished posts that have yet to be added to the blog, so check back periodically to read more about our adventures. I can't believe that it's been a whole month since our travels to the islands. It was such an incredible vacation (oh...and it was so great...hehe...that Brook and I have tickets back for July....but that's a whole other story, best saved for the Hawaii blog itself).
Second, I am teaching! I've just started my second full week with a classroom full of students, and it is both the most exciting and the most terrifying thing I think I have ever done. I don't think there has been a time in my life where I've had to make so many split second decisions and solve so many bizarre problems. That's really part of the appeal, though. I love being on my toes. :-)
Third (and last, for this post), Brook and I have started attending a local church called Jubilee. We've only been two weeks in a row so far, but it's been great. I love how challenging the messages are and how refreshed and motivated I feel after I leave. Whether or not we decide to attend this place regularly is yet to be determined (although I do believe there's a good possibility). In the meantime though, we're going for the next few weeks to listen to a series they are doing on re-prioritizing your life and making time for the things that are important. Ah, how appropriate! I feel like so much of what is said is directed right to me. :-)
Ok, so that's it for now. More later!
