My Elanor!

One of my students, Elanor, was on TV. I don't normally like to talk about my students online, but this one is on line! And I wanted to introduce my family to her, and let my friends who have moved away see how she's doing! There are two links for her.

Elanor was on the news here recently. She was granted a wish from Wishing Star. She did her room and it looks great! They even put a therapy swing in it. :-) That site is 6onyourside.com

Elanor's mom also made a site for her so that she could keep everyone updated on her surgery. The surgery was supposed to be last summer. It was going to be very invasive. They found an easier way to keep her back straight after they straighten it. They used a titanium rib. Her surgery was a week ago Monday. She's doing great! She had a set back, and the "rib" came unattatched. They reattatched it today and she's doing good after that surgery. This site is http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/elanoranne

Enjoy!

Uncertain Future

Joe's company just got word that they are cutting their contract way down with Micron. They are cutting their work force her by a lot. Joe doesn't know if this means he'll stay here, or if we're moving. We may move to Virgina, Texas, or Oregon. I'm secretly hoping Phoenix could be a possibility, but not much hope.

I wish things could be the same, but I know that to grow in my life, changes are inevitable. I know that Jesus will work everything out to be for the best. Poor Joe though. He's all over there by himself stewing over all of this. I feel so bad for him.

Please say a prayer for us. This might be a bumpy road.

Long, long week. I'm glad it's over!

We had parent/teacher conferences this week. Whew! That always makes for a long week. I had progress reports to work on, and then the conferences. I had a lot of parents come to conferences. Very interesting. Everything went well. I helped out with the Book Fair. I think it went well this year, even with a lot less kids. The librarian was busier without the help she had last year, and sick. So I tried to help her out.

One of my students had surgery this week. She was doing better, slipped a little bit. I sure hope she's doing better. Her mom will probably let us know tonight. I miss her. She's not supposed to be back until after Thanksgiving. I sure hope so.

40 days until Joe comes home! Sunday it will be 39! That is in the 30s! It is getting closer! :-)

Joe is 1/2 way done!

Thank goodness! It is all down hill from here, and down hill goes much faster than uphill! So I hope that his second half goes much faster than the first half. Poor guy is so ready to come home. He misses us girls, and all of the comforts of the USA.

Look at What Faith Can Do!

F learned to ride her bike without training wheels! She hasn't been riding on her training wheels lately, so I took them off and off she went! It only took a minute of being unsure, but then she took off. :) She is so excited, and so am I! Too bad Joe wasn't here to see it. I sent him pictures. :-)

What Super Hero would you be?

Your Superpower Should Be Mind Reading

You are brilliant, insightful, and intuitive. You understand people better than they would like to be understood. Highly sensitive, you are good at putting together seemingly irrelevant details. You figure out what's going on before anyone knows that anything is going on! Why you would be a good superhero: You don't care what people think, and you'd do whatever needed to be done Your biggest problem as a superhero: Feeling even more isolated than you do now
