first week of school & family retreat

hi there. i've been quite the "slacker blogger" lately. my apologies. I hope to be blogging more regularly once my schedule is settled.

i wanted to give a quick update for all of you dear readers about our jobs. i started my first week of school teaching 1st graders. i have some really super kids and i feel rejuvenated to be around little ones again. they still wear me out, but i love them. they're so much more independent than kindergartners, it's great! i was so pleased to not be tying shoes, soothing crying spells, or helping little ones with their "wet pants" all week long : ) and 1st graders are really stinking cute. they keep me laughing all day.

peter's been fortunate to have two four day weekends in a row and has had some quality time with the golf course. these mini vacations are well deserved since he's worked so many long hour days.

this weekend, we went to busan with peter's unit for a family retreat. i'll blog about it more later. it was wooonderful. a well needed break that brought a lot of peace and relaxation to two tired minds & bodies. i'll fill you in soon..
