School's Out

As of today, school is out for two weeks for Christmas break. Even though they were very anxious to be done, my students were great this week.
I'm really glad to have a break. There hasn't even been a teacher work day yet in Horry County this school year, so all of us were ready for one. Maybe I'll finally have a chance to relax in our new house and get some things done. That's the plan anyway.

Mourning

Yesterday I found out that my great uncle Billy passed away Friday morning. It wasn't unexpected. He was 88 years old and lived a long, full life. That doesn't make his passing easier, but it is comforting. It's also a comfort to know that Uncle Billy's eternity is sure. He is and forever will be worshiping in the presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Pray for our family, though, as death is never an easy thing to deal with.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Sarah and I had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We had tickets to the Clemson/Carolina game, but because they said it was going to rain on the news, we opted not to go, and Sarah's brothers took our tickets to give away or sell. Instead, we got to watch the game in Hi-Def at Sarah's parents house. That was pretty cool.
Only 3 more weeks until Christmas break. That's 15 school days, and only 45 classes for me to teach, and 60 classes for my students to attend. It's coming fast! I can't wait.

Boring

Sarah is in Spartanburg spending time with her family. I'm here all by my lonesome. It stinks. Tomorrow, though, is a half-day at school, and then I'm heading up to Easley, and I'll get to spend the weekend traveling (with Sarah) from Easley to Spartanburg and back to see all of our family. It's going to be another busy (but great) weekend.

Housewarming Weekend

Well, everyone has gone back to the upstate now. I think everyone had a great time being together this weekend. I know I did. I got to spend Saturday morning with my parents, which I don't get to do very often. Sarah's brothers and dad got to go play golf, and her mom, sister-in-law, and Sarah got to go shopping. Only a few more days and we get to see everyone again.
