Ahh... my nice long
weekend is nearly over:( New Jersey closes schools the second Thursday
and Friday of the month of November for teacher's conventions... Since,
it is optional, I decided not to go. Taking long naps seemed like a much
better way to spend my time:)
I am actually kind of nervous
about returning to school because I have been suffering from all-day
sickness! Poor John has been so good to me! I am hoping that I won't
feel too terrible tomorrow...
Many people have been wondering
whether I'll be able to stay home when I have the baby. The answer is a
resounding "YES!" John and I both think that it is really important for
Mama to be home for the Daddy and the babies:) We are very thankful for
the two years that I have been employed as a teacher, because it gave us
a great start toward paying off our school loans and other debts. We
were also able to pay for our wedding without burdening our parents.
However, I am SO ready to move into the next phase of our lives:)

Whew! I have been gone from his blog for a long time!
Lots has
been going on for us... John was ordained to the deaconate on Sunday,
October 30th. It was a beautiful service, and I can see how happy and
fulfilled John is serving in the church!!
In addition, John and I
have discovered that we're expecting!! Our little one is due on June
26th. Though we've known for some time now, we tried to keep it to
ourselves in the beginning:) We are both so happy and excited!! I have
been feeling pretty tired and sick to my stomach lately. I've been
checking out many home remedies for morning sickness and have found
crackers, ginger ale, and strawberry icepops to help a little.
Teaching
has been going pretty well. I love my little kids very much! They are
really blossoming now... we've stopped reviewing what they learned in
Kindergarten. They are all doing so well with reading and writing! Math
is becoming easier now that we've begun to explore different ways to
find answers (No more fingers allowed!!). We've also begun learning new
patriotic songs from our favorite c.d. Wee Sing America. Thanks to that c.d. all of my six year olds know the fifty states in alphabetical order!! Amazing!
Anyway, that's all for now! I will try to write more frequently from now on...
