Here are a few pictures from my classroom. I had help from my sweet family before school started. Dad helped haul all my stuff from Mann to Abilene High. Summer hung posters and decorations. They both helped paint the wall behind my desk. And Mom made the curtains and recovered my chair. And it has made a big difference. I feel like I spend more time here than I do at my house, so I'm glad it's a pleasant place that I feel comfortable in. I remember when I was in high school, I asked one of my teachers if I could bring posters to hang on the wall. It was a gray classroom with no windows and no decorations. I needed more visual things to be able to think.
Two of my girlfriends from college are living in Abilene, and we've decided to get together at one of our houses every Thursday night to watch "Grey's Anatomy" and visit. I look forward to it all day Thursday.
Please pray for my friend and former roommate, Christine. She has had health problems since she was in high school and is in the hospital again now. Pray for healing for her, strength for her family, and wisdom for the doctors. She's a great friend, wife, mother of a sweet 2-year-old boy, and started teaching this year.
