Small Town Girl, In A Big Town World..........

*on tuesday, david was off so we went up to my class and got it totally set up. it is such a cool new room, i am actually excited to go back to school. ( will someone please remind me of that when it is march and i am ready for summer again.) every day that we go up to school, i meet new teachers that i am going to work with. here is what is cool about living in a big place, all of the people you meet are not from texas. i have met people from all over the world. my next door neighbors are from Belise. wow!!!! they are so nice.

* well my room is all set up except the bulletin boards. i will do those later. it is so nice to have everything new. i have never had that before. that is so exciting. i have already met one of hannah's teachers and two of bekah's teachers. they were very nice.

* we went to visit a new church on sunday. it was just a few minutes from our house. the senior pastor was on vacation so it was the youth minister that did the sermon. the church was alot like ours. people were wearing everything from shorts, to dresses and slacks. the building looks different from the outside, but is very similar to ours on the inside.

* the youth pastor, who did the service was very good, but i kept waiting for him to give the scripture so we could open the bible and read it for the sermon. that never happened, but he did quote alot of scripture. also there was no invitation and no alter time. so david and i decided to try the church again tonight.

* so we get dressed for church and we drive up there and it is 6:55 and there are no cars there, or there are only 5. we thought that was weird, but we decided to give it a try. we walk up to the church, and notice that there are only kids there. needless to say, they were only having a youth service. we spoke to the youth pastor, who was very friendly, and he said that they were in transition, and were in a building phase. the only service they had for adults was sunday morning. they also did not have anything for children on wed. i thought that was strange. but since david is going to be gone, we are going to give the church on sunday, just me and the girls. so if any of yall have ANY suggestions on where to go to church that may be close to here, just let me know. i really want the girls to get plugged in.

*on that front, the girls have already made neighborhood friends. they come out during the day, and they all ride their bikes and scooters up and down the street. it is so cool. i am so glad that they are making friends so easily.

* i have started walking again. we walked on monday night around 5:30. it wasn't too bad. i walked tonight at about 7:30 pm. it was much nicer and cooler. all of the subdivisions have large sidewalks around them, so i walked on that tonight. they make for a nice track. i walked for about 40 minutes. it was so nice outside. there seems to be a constant breeze here. which is nice, since i am not used to the humidity. nothing like getting out of the shower and having a thin layer of sweat all over your body. i wonder how long it will take me to get used to the humidity.

* well david has his first weekend trip this weekend. he leaves for honduras tomorrow. he will return sunday or monday. so me and the girls will venture out sometime this weekend for a shopping trip. we also will go swimming a couple of times. then we will go to church on sunday.

*i don't know much else so i guess i will say ttfn.......
