I've been here all along!

I'm going to sneak back in here like I haven't been gone for two months... (:

Summer is good. I love the heat, the sunshine, the relief from responsibilities. I love going to King's Island and spending time with my friends and family. June already, wow. This summer is going to fly by.

I am somewhat stressed, what with planning my big Houston move. I'll be leaving at the end of July, and I feel like there's so much to do before then. Buying plane tickets, packing, finding the money to actually make the move, finding a place to live, getting the contract signed, affording things for my classroom... it seems a bit impossible. On top of that, this is a district that hires thousands of employees a year, so it's hard to even get in touch with someone who can answer specific questions for me, such as when my contract will be sent to me. Once the contract is sent, I'll feel a bit of peace about the whole situation. Until then, it doesn't exactly feel real.

In other news, my niece is here and 5 weeks old! Hailey Grace is a wonderful baby, very calm and beautiful. She went to the pediatrician yesterday, and it turns out her muscles didn't develop in her right back/shoulder, and she holds her head to the left as a result. She will have to have physical therapy for it, and if that isn't successful, surgery when she's about a year old. Please pray that the therapy works so that she may avoid surgery! And as a thank you, a picture that I snapped last week.



Okay, that's all for now. Hope everyone is having a great week!
