Friendship and Service

That is the theme for JSL. I SURVIVED everything today on basically zero sleep! I had to take Matt to work today, because his company car was at the branch. Then I sat in meetings from 7:30 to 3:30. I'm really, really, really excited about this school year...there is no doubt in my mind that it will be great! There are really some exciting changes happening at my school, despite budget cuts and furlough days.

I picked up my friend Emily for JSL tonight, she is about 2 weeks away from having baby Bryson, we taught together at GP. That girl is crazy...she is on bedrest but refuses to rest. She went to school today and then to the meeting.

We met our buddies tonight and they greeted us with a tote bag full of goodies and a pin. They also got us each a gift! My sweet Becky Jense is mine and she spoiled me rotten! They had wine, tea, chicken salad from the scoop, key lime pie, and lots of fruit! It was soo good! (One provisional spilled her entire glass of wine after two sips...bless her heart, she was so embarassed). They also took our picture for the directory...which I really hope turns out good...I'm not so confident, I felt flustered :)

Anyway, I have a ton of work to do tonight so I'm going to get started. I'm very excited to watch After the Final Rose tonight!!!
