4:30pm

My work day is almost over, it is 4:30 and I am in desperate need of a weekend. So I decided to go on and read about the lives of the people who I love so dearly. Your blogs make me smile, reminise and think about the deeper things in life.

These last few weeks have been crazy. Brad was placed at Tigard Highschool (a town 20 minutes from our home) and is teaching Spanish 3. He is a little intimidated by the whole thing and has had a few students with attitude but isn't that to be expected ?? ;-) We is in class as well and on Wednesday night is at the highschool untill 5 and then has class from 6:30-10pm. It is kind of a long day. One of my bosses during college workstudy her daughter is a single mother and I have taken on babysitting her 1 year old that night to keep me occupied while Brad is in class. I think it will start next week. It is good to keep me exposed to kids so I get my fill of them and don't end up wanting my own yet :-)

Work has been good. I love coming to work. I can't see myself here forever but for the time being it is exactly where God wants me to be. Brad and I have found a chruch that we are going to attend regularly. It is actually the chruch that we got married at :-) There is a young adults sunday school that we are a part of and so far we are liking the people alot. They are all very intellegent and globally aware....and we all have similar political views which makes for interesting conversation.

I am really missing my parents and struggeling with the fact that I won't see them at Christmas. Their adjustment to Jordan has gone really good. Ruthie is loving school which is A PRAISE. I think the community there has been bigger and richer for them. Their shipment from Lebanon still hasn't come. First there were border problems then the truck broke down and the truck driver wanted my dad to send money to fix it. The middle east has such funny ways of conducting business :-)

Well I should get back to work. love you all and am praying for you.
