The New School Year

The school year started off a bit shaky for me this year. I received a summons to report for jury duty on the first day of school. Nice! Luckily, when I called in to confirm my duty time, I was released from duty. The second day of school was Trey's grandmother's funeral service. We lost Grandma Dot, but she's now reunited with Grandpa in Heaven. I had a substitute for the first two days of school, so the first week was a little crazy, but since then I've gotten to know my students and am enjoying all of my classes. I'm teaching six periods of American Lit. Whew! We'll be starting the Puritans this week and The Crucible next week.

Trey and I also want to tell everyone that we're expecting our first child in April. We're very excited! I have two weeks left in my first trimester and I'm ready for trimester number 2! This nausea and lack of energy is for the birds! The pregnancy is going fine. I'm considering myself very fortunate that I haven't had any morning sickness.
