A New School Year For Everyone!!!

Yes, summer has come and gone and I can't believe I didn't blog all summer. We were busy, but not so much that I couldn't blog. I think I just didn't have a long period of time to sit and write. So I'm finally writing now.
We started the New School year and things seem to be going along smoothly. Miranda is now in 5th grade and joined the volleyball team this year. She had her first game last week and she did really well. She was able to serve well and even help her team get some points. I think she was very encouraged. I'm hoping this is something she really likes, so far it is! I think this might be a challenging year for her academically though. Math seems to be hard for her this year, I'm hoping it's just this first semester....it's all about decimals which somehow confuses her. I think it will eventually click, I just hope it's not too late. CJ is in 1st grade this year and doing great. It's so cute, because he has real tests this year and he has to study for them. He has spelling words that he has to write in a sentence. He's got all 100's on his tests so far and he really likes school. I got moved up this year and am working with the Kindergarten (what I asked for) and I am loving it. I'm a lot busier working but it's more enjoyable for me then working with 3 year olds. So I am really enjoying this year as well. I also joined the youth group team as a high school youth leader and I am so excited about that. I really felt that God was leading me back into service, but I just couldn't tell where for a while. Then when I realized it was Youth, a peace came over me and I am enjoying it so much. The Youth Ministry at our church is really starting to thrive (your word PK) and it's so exciting to watch where it's heading. I also finally have a facebook account. Everyone was telling me to get it and when I tried I had trouble so I just said forget it. But this weekend I finally did it. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it. It was great though because I got to talk to two of my dear friends from the past, one from high school and one from college. And I got to catch up with some of the past youth group kids who are grown up and in college now. I'm so happy I joined. Now if I can just figure out some more stuff with it. Cowboys are 3 - 0 this season and I'm hoping tomorrow they'll go to 4 -0, but they have to make it by the Redskins. We'll see......love to you all!
