First week finished.

First week of school finished. Average room temperature, 90. Need more fans. Need more water. Could use a new position, but I only have 5 years till I can retirement. Can I make it or will the District get so mean that I won't be able to tolerate their idiocy.

Sorry folks, this is not very uplifting. Thank goodness for the Temple. This is where I go to relieve the stress of the world. I would go tonight, but I have no energy left and Diane is just as exhausted as I am after her first week teaching 6th grade. I will suggest we go tomorrow.

Visiting Temlples

So, this summer we've been to all the Temples in Utah except two and we'll get to them in the next couple of weeks before James leaves on his mission. It never gets old. It doesn't matter what is going on around you, when you are done, you feel wonderful and relaxed. Like yesterday. I was given what to say to James before he leaves. It is so wonderful to have the Lord whisper to you what he wants you to tell others.

Summer fun

I feel like I have been on a roller-coaster ride. For anyone who doesn't know, James got his mission call to Oregon, Portland mission. His farewell is Sept 11 at 11:00 am.

My work decided they would disrespect us and sent a sign or you're fired letter to a contract that strips teachers of all basic protections.

We went on a vacation and visited 3 temples, Manti, Montecello, and Vernal. We also visited 4 corners, Hovenweelp, Mesa Verda, Strawberry, and Flaming Gorge.
