First Week...

So, I just finished my first week of teaching in California. I love it. My class has its challenges, but it is so great to come to work everyday. Because of the 4th of July holiday, we have no school tomorrow. This week was really great. It was good to be back in the classroom after sitting for 2 weeks since we moved. I love work!
On Tuesday, as I was leaving my classroom, I had such a feeling of validation and peace that what I am doing is what I am supposed to be. Such a great feeling! I know I am in the right place and doing that which is meant for me to do. It is such a blessing.
We are still living with Sarah's dad in Perris. It's great to be up there with him. He's a great man. All of our stuff is sitting in his garage until our place is ready on the 15th (July). It will be good to get into our place. Mostly because it will be 45 miles closer to where I work. Right now I am leaving the house at 5:30 to get to work by 7:15. Fortunately my truck is getting incredible gas mileage: around 26 mpg. I'm excited. Great fuel economy or not though, once we move I will ride my bike to and from work. That means no fuel spent and no money put out for it. Gas is crazy down here. It takes over $100 to fill Sarah's truck.
Sarah is doing well with being pregnant. She is so strong! With her work this last year at her school she definately deserves a nice long rest. She has been coping pretty well with the heat and is learning to take naps... Something she never could do before. We are so excited to become parents and can't wait (but will have to) for September.
Life is good!
