I had a nice weekend visiting with college friends who came for Homecoming. Saturday we ate lunch together and just sat around and talked for hours. It's nice to be able to catch up with friends.
The weekend before last I went to Houston with Leah and we visited Jenna and Matt and my cousin Chris and his wife Jenny. It was also great to spend a weekend catching up with them and being able to see where they live and go to school and church.
Things at school are going well. I was remembering the other day as I was grading papers how I used to "play school" with Summer or with friends. As a child of a school teacher, I had old lesson plan books, chalkboards, and most importantly, textbooks with the answers in them! I remember playing for hours pretending to record grades, make lessons, and teach students. Jocelyn and I used to pretend our elementary teachers were our students. I remember a particular sub we didn't like got sent to the principal's office a lot when we were pretending to be teachers. Grading papers now has lost the excitement it had when I was young, but I'm thankful I have a job doing what I've wanted to do since I was 5 (after realizing careers in body building and nursing weren't going to pan out).
