Did I mention we are down to 9 weeks?
The girls do a great job of selling items. They have learned the art of negotiation. Unfortunately, my E.T did not make it. It was broken in the car drive to the flea market.
Georgia spent her afternoon with Mommy at the neighborhood egg hunt. She jumped on the bouncy house, toured the fire truck, waited in line for a pink balloon dog and still had time to pick up some eggs.
The day was beautiful! The birds were singing and people were generally upbeat and happy. I wonder if I am going to be able to move (in 9 weeks). And with a sly Cheshire Cat grin, I think so. Change can be difficult at first, but that doesn't mean that you should go through life avoiding it. I still remember that first morning I woke up in Bahrain. I opened the curtains to my hotel room at the Holiday Inn with excitement. The sunlight seeped through me. I knew my adventure was there. I was able to see many things that my peers back in West Virginia would never see. I cried when I flew out of Bahrain. It was like an intense heartbreak.
I still want to travel back to Bahrain and Sasebo, Japan. Those places are special to me. I hope that Alaska will become another special place in my heart.
How long will I stay?
I truly do not know at this point. My contract is a one year contract. I have two courses in Alaskan Studies to take in the next two years to renew my Alaskan license. I have three courses, two reading and one phonics, to take for Ohio. (I still have no idea why a science teacher needs phonics. Its like a cruel joke!) I plan on keeping my Ohio license updated unlike my West Virginia license which I allowed to expire.
Today was/is a good day. And I am headed out now to enjoy the sunlight and the free vitamin D. Love you all!
