Anniversary

This weekend is my 1 year anniversary of becoming pet parent to Mocha. Even through the struggles of house training, she has brought so much joy into my life. I can hardly wait to get home from school each day because I know she will be waiting at the back door for me.

Saturday, October 24
Today I got this wild idea to trim Mocha's hair myself. I think it actually turned out nice. Of course the rest of the evening she wouldn't come near me unless I had food or treats.
She tolerated me messing with her hair pretty well but was not very cooperative for photography.
It's a good thing I blew off the bath for the evening, because then she really would have been running from me.

New School Progress

We are still on schedule to move to our new school the week of Thanksgiving (we will begin classes there November 30). Here are a few pics of the progress. Despite some of the negativity and pessimistic attitudes I am excited.

Long Time!

Wow! It has been so long since my last post. It was a busy summer and definitely did not slow down when the school year started. In my eight years of teaching this year's first week was the roughest I have had. I think my class finally began settling down about the 6th week of school, but it was short lived (still have some behavior issues to work with).
While all that was going on I also had some medical issues to take care of, but I think I have all that under control. God has definitely given me situations where I have had to learn to fully rely on him.
Praise Him!
