So I'm sitting here in the library patiently waiting for Joe to finish his homework, and I thought I would just post some updates! I'm so proud of Joe! He just found out that he got the full-time position he applied for at his work. I know he will do a great job. He is so great with the kids. With the full-time job come the benefits! YAY! We are so excited to finally have benefits. However, with his school schedule, he'll have to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. So much for weekends! But it is definitely worth it. We still have two nights off together, so it shouldn't be too bad!
The block is going great for me. It is a blast. I have learned so much and just love all of the people in the block with me. We have so much fun. I was worried about the all day classes, but it hasn't been too bad. In March, we get to go to Mesquite for a week and teach there. I am really excited. It will kind of be like a girls week! I'm sure we'll find plenty of ways to keep ourselves entertained down there! I only have two more days in the 3rd grade placement that I am in now. Next week, I will be switching to 6th grade. I don't know how I feel about this. I have had such a great time in this class. I have gotten to know the kids and don't want to switch and start all over again. But, I know it will be a good experience for me to get a taste of teaching 6th grade.
Having Howard and Kathy down a few weekends ago made us realize just how much we miss our family back home. We hope you can come visit soon. We won't be up there anytime soon, but we love you all and think about you often!

That's exciting that you guys have benefits now, isn't that a relief? I'm really glad that the block is going so well for you. Good luck in 6th grade - it took some adjusting because I was so used to younger kids, but I LOVED my sixth graders. :)
Congrats!! I'm happy for you guys! Now you need to have kids ;) jk I hope sometime when you guys are up here we can together!
