Fun, Fun, Fun

Hey all

I know that I haven't posted anything in a while, but things have been pretty busy. I am finally beginning to feel settled and finding my place here on the Big Island. This past weekend was the first time that I actually had plans for the weekend! On Friday I went to my friend Chrissy's house and we watched "Made of Honor". It was actually pretty good. We also go Chinese take out (which was okay, but not that good). Then on Saturday night we went out Salsa dancing with some of her friends. I didn't dance much, but it was still fun. I got to meet some new people which was nice. And then on Sunday my church had a dinner for new attenders so that we could learn more about the church. I got to meet some new people and had some really good food! And I'm going to be joining the worship team at church too! I met with the guy in charge on Monday, and he is going to work me into the schedule. Yay!!! Well, I guess that's it for now. Thanks to everyone who has been praying for me. Things are definitely going so much better!

Oh! And the weekend before last I went to Oahu! I will hopefully have pics of that up soon!

Mama always said life was like a box of choclate...

You never know what you're gonna get...

Today we had Forrest Gump and Shrimp Louie come into our classroom (from the local BubbaGump's). Forrest read a story the kids and they loved it! They were in awe of the giant size shrimp as well (it was someone in a costume, and it was huge!)

I definitely had a box of chocolate kind of a day today... I woke up this morning just knowing that it was not going to be a good day. Well, when I got to school I realized that I had left my keys at home! Fortunately, I was able to get another key from the office. The rest of the day was pretty okay, but during it lunch it started raining. Later in the afternoon it rained pretty hard, and as we were all sitting in a circle on the carpet, we noticed a drop of water fall to the floor. I looked up and there was a leak in the roof! I quickly put a plastic lid underneath, and we moved onto something else. The rain eventually stopped (it is completely sunny now!) and therefore so did the drip! I hope that they are able to fix it soon!

One more...

Aloha all! Well... I just found out that I will be getting a new student tomorrow. That puts me at 21....with no aide.... oh well, what am I gonna do about it. Just my best!

I had a really nice loooong weekend. Saturday I just hung around the house... went to the grocery store... nothing too exciting. Sunday after church I hung out by the pool and read my magazine... very relaxing! And yesterday I went to the pool and swam for a little bit, and then did Tae bo (spelling??) with my roommate. I am sooo sore! It was fun though. And then I went to dinner with my friend from work and her daughter. We had the BEST pizza!

The best part about having a Monday off is that you still only have a four day week!!! Yeah!
