College tour

 Jenna wanted to visit a few colleges so this weekend we toured Liberty. I couldn’t believe how big and gorgeous this campus was. I haven’t figured out I feel about it but ultimately it is Jenna’s decision not mine.

More volleyball

Some days are long but these girls have my heart. I love each one of them and enjoy working with them.
 

Excitement at school

 Not your typical Monday. It was so crazy today. Before homeroom started we were outside with a possible gas leak. That lasted for over an hour. Next ms volleyball had a positive case. They have to quarantine until Thursday. I am good because I wear a mask at practice and games. I am so tired of all this!!

Volleyball

 I have been busy again with volleyball. I love being the assistant coach to these girls. I love them so much. It’s time consuming but fun. 

Bulletin Board

 It's just about that time.  The start of another school year.  We are supposed to go in one day next week to get everything ready and then August 16th we start teacher orientation week.  I am so excited that this year the teachers don't have to move from room to room, the students do.  This is my first year of full time teaching.  I am nervous and excited.  Jenna and I went in yesterday to get my bulletin board done.

hall closet

 I hate our hall closet.  It is way too small and is a catch all for a lot of junk.  I know Josh brings some home from college (like his towels, quilt, bed cover, sheets etc) but it usually is slammed full and prayers that no one opens it!!  I did a clean out and also had Jenna redo  the closet for me.  We found this hack on Pinterest that makes it look like you have nice shelving, but obviously I don't.  She also put some paper on the walls, but I don't know how long that will last but for now, I like it. The pictures got out of order so the first two are the finished ones and the last two are the before pictures.

Jacob college/prayer request

 We spent last weekend at orientation with Jacob.  It was good to see him spread his wings.  I think he is feeling more confident about school.  My prayer request is that he needs a good roommate.  He found two and would like to room with them.  The one decided he wanted to room with someone else, the other he just had second thoughts about.  I know that a roommate can make or break your year, especially your first year, so I would appreciate you joining me in prayer that he finds someone that is "good".  My first year I thankfully had some good roommates.  I am still very close to one of them to this day.  A couple of my other years I did not have good ones, and I would really hate for Jacob to spend his first few months, and first year with someone who is not good.  As a mom I am very burdened about this.  Josh did not have this problem as he had a friend he already knew.  It's really hard to let them fly but still want the best for them.
