New Running Partner

Ugh, it seems I have to get used to a new running partner every other month. My latest is Chesney Shand. Or she was my one last night. Her husband is the photo manager for Lifetouch. She is a very sweet 39 year old lady from Tennesee. And boy, does she sound like it! I just love listening to her accent. She is fast and pushed me for 3.6 miles in 85 degree weather. I came home and went to bed. It was a good run but my breathing bothered me. I sounded like a summer dog! I don't know if she will come back to the pack run with me. She said she liked it, but it was pretty noneventful. I would like to try to run down by the OK river. That is, if I get the nerve to run with her again.

Another thing I did last night while in the city was drop my Bible off at Ace Binders to have it rebound. It will look so great when it's done, but I will have to be without it for 6 weeks! It's silly, but I already miss it! The guy is a Christian so I felt better. I know he will treat it with love.

I think I will try to run at the lake after school. I have got to start doing it every day. Even if it's just a little!

Running Again!

After being out of my running shoes for 3 weeks I ran a 10K today! I really suprized myself!

Let's go back 3 weeks. After putting up with bloating all summer I decided to go to the dr. She said I needed to have my gall bladder out. A week later, we did it. Because I am in good shape, I was able to be back to normal in 2 weeks and run 6 miles! That's a great reason to stay in shape!

The run was the Hoof in it 10K along the Ok river. It was very cool and I wore sleeves and capris running pants. It was a beautiful run along the river. I want to do some training runs there.

Emily Hogan did the run with me. She finished well and came back for me :) I did it in 1 hr 20 min. I wish it was faster but I felt good!

So Far, So Good

Well, I started a Bible Study for my teacher friends, finally. I've been wanting to do it for like years! We meet at lunch and I read while they eat. I am going through Classic Christianity Illustrated. Each chapter is 2 or 3 pages long. Easy to read in 5 minutes. That leaves plenty of time to discuss! And they are discussing! This study will change so much wrong thinking. I am so excited to see my friends lives change with the understanding of truth!
I'll keep posting on how it goes.

Teacher Friends

Ok, have I told you lately how much I am looking forward to KK getting out of this school system? Not that it is a bad school system. I believe it's a very good one, in spite of the bad rap that it gets. I am just tired of the hassle that comes with having your kid being in class with people you are friends with. It is so hard when you don't agree with the way a teacher is treating your child. Especially when you want to keep a good working relationship with that teacher. I know there are a lot of perks to being up here and going to school with your kid, and really they outnumber the bad parts. It just gets old after a while having to walk on egg shells and feeling bad about telling on teacher friends. It stresses me out!

This is an awesome video!

First Day Of School

I confess, I was scared to death before school started. I didn't know what to expect. You see, this will be my first time ever to teach 8th graders. And my first time ever to take on a presentation-creating class. We are supposed to push out presentations to show on the projector during lunchtime in the cafeteria. It may not sound like a big deal, but when you think about the logistics to it and think about doing it with 8th graders you may see why I was so nervous. It will be a big task. 

So I was so nervous about this. I felt a lot better when the kids got in here, and 1st hour 8th grade had an assembly we had to go to. That took some time off my hands with them. And then, 4th hour, I am walking around my room watching my Web Design class type. All of a sudden I get this feeling of peace come over me. It was like all was right with the world. I am where I am supposed to be. I really love this job and don't realize how much I miss the kids and the classroom over the summer. Thank you, God for giving me assurance!
