Primary

Brian and I just got called to be primary teachers, the week before the Primary Program! Our first Sunday in primary was the practice, and we didn't even know the names of the children in our class. We were also covering for another teacher that we substituted for last month. When I went to sit with the class we will be teaching, one girl kept running around. I had no idea what her name was, or what I should do. Well, it can only get better, right?

Actually, I am very excited to teach these kids. They are very cute and I think the one girl just wanted attention. I know after I get to know the children better, I will better understand what they need and what I can do for them. I have been working with children for about 2/3 of my life. I have more experience than most people my age do, that don't have any children. I have been missing all the babysitting, and what-not, that I did in Utah. It will be good to work with the children again.

The First Snow Fall

Brian has been anxiously awaiting for the snow to finally fall. Over and over again the weather report promised some snow, but repeatedly it was wrong.

On Sunday we were relaxing and discussing wether it would snow like the report said it would. Just as I was saying to Brian that the longer we have to wait for the snow the longer we will enjoy it, I looked up at him and I saw through the window behind him that it had just started to snow. I had to laugh at the snows timing.

We are hoping to get some snow gear for me soon so that I can actually have fun and not dread each day that I see the snow. I think this will be a good winter.

Brian often reminds me that he had to drive five hours to see snow when he was growing up so it is still so much fun for him. He just hates how cold it gets. But I have to say he knows more than I do about the winters in Michigan.
