Some local wildlife...

Well, it's been downright cold here lately. Yesterday morning when I took the dogs out the grass was frozen and any standing water had become ice...it was amazing! Now, all we need is a little snow and we'll be all set.

My first week back at school was good...it was nice to get back into the routine again...even if it was completely disrupted again by Thursday. We are doing our DIBELS testing and since we have no money, we were told to be "creative" in the administration of this testing. Our best solution was to double up classes. So on Thursday, one of my teammates took my class for the day and I pulled them one at a time to test...and on Friday I took her class all day while she tested. It was...chaotic, to say the least. I'm glad to have an extra day today to recoop. We'll be doing it all over again in a couple weeks to complete some other testing.

Dave's work has seriously picked up and he has been making some great commissions. When it is slow, he's able to complete in-store training to continue moving to the next level. However, he doesn't really get this chance very often because they are so short staffed. One day last week, he was the only tech in the store until 11am...and he went in at 8am. At least he's able to keep busy on most days!

We are having a lot fun out here despite lots of work and no snow! We continue to learn about our new surroundings and are acclimating well. Hope all is well with everyone else!
