Back to School

The title pretty much sums up what Billy and I have been up to the last 2 weeks. The summer has flown by and I found myself getting ready to go back to school. This year was a fun year for me b/c it meant that I was able to have my own classroom from the beginning of the year. I got my keys and entered the new 1st grade classroom that would hold my 32 students...yes, 32! I spent a lot of time cleaning and going through boxes of material that was left by old teachers. I finally feel like I'm more prepared. We have Open House on Saturday morning so I will get to meet all of my kiddos in a couple of days. I'm excited!
Billy also got ready for another school year. His classroom looks really nice. Desert Ridge started school this past Wednesday and Billy and I have both been really tired when we get home. Billy is teaching A-hour this year, a class that starts at 6:30 AM everyday. We are exhausted, but hope it gets better as we get adjusted to the schedule. Billy starts another semester in his masters program in a few weeks, so we'll see. I always thought that once I was done with school, life wouldn't be so busy. I was wrong. Billy and I seem to always have new activities coming up, esp. Billy. In addition to working, school, and mutual, he's also on a softball city league team with some friends playing every Tuesday....we'll see how well we (or maybe I should say, "he" manages it all).
We look forward to this new school year!
