There have been so many changes since I first posted. Lets see, we have moved twice, I have changed jobs, Jason has done a lot of odd jobs and endless job searching... and now its October. The month of Halloween and fun fall things to do! Like fairs! Oh I hope there is a fair coming soon, pretty sure there are two, just don't know yet which we may get to go to. We have a wedding to attend to this weekend, well actually, we both are in it and so very excited for Brian and Ashley! Jason is the best man, and he's been stressing, which I find quite funny, about being the planner of the bachelor party. (He'll never admit he's stressing but he does pace a lot when he thinks about it.)
I've been really enjoying my work! Its challenging in a good way, the kind of way that you know you are learning something new and useful. I actually feel like a teacher, not just a babysitter. Though both are valuable! I figure not everybody knows what I'm doing so here's an explanation: I'm a preschool teacher at my church, I am lead teacher for 3 year olds on Tues and Thurs, and a 2 year olds assistant Mon, Wed, and Fri. Mon are my long days, Tues and Thurs my busy days, Wed my early day and therefore tiredest day, and Fri my get off early day! Hurray! I love my kids soooooooooooooooo much. I wish I could post their pictures all over this page so that I could truly share my life-story with y'all, but I am not allowed, alas.
Last Thurs was a really fun day, the firetruck came and the firemen let the kids hold on to the hose as they blasted water out of it! They squealed with happiness and fear of getting wet. :) I loved their fear mwahahaha, it was so funny to see them run like that, they were just being silly. Today we were supposed to have a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch, and I'm sorry to say that it got rained out. Sad day, the kids were pretty bummed, not to mention the teachers, even though we are going on Thursday. Its a Pumpkin Patch set up in our parking lot that really is quite super cool if I do say so myself. The parents will be joining us for the shopping and art project, and it will just be a good time outside in the cooler air. Instead I had to come up with last minute fall projects to fill the time. But even that worked out great as we created a tissue paper burning bush! (From the story of Moses) The best part is that I just thought we were making a tree with fall leaves until one of my smart children corrected me that it is a burning bush, and seeing that we just read about that last week, I had to agree! :)
I can tell everyone in the "office" is getting somewhat keyed up lately... they are all preparing for the intenseness that is Christmas and Thanksgiving around here. Apparently my work goes allllll out. There is a musical performance by the children and a fancy feast with the parents, as well as lots and lots of really cool art projects that the kids bring home... which are developed by their teachers... aka. Kelley you have some work to do!
Fall change is in the air. Even all of this happy fun is going to change soon, at the beginning of Nov: as the church expands to have full time children I will be changing classes to accommodate. I will miss my kids in the 3's room, but it makes way for benefits, so I can't complain. :) And with Jason having several job interviews this month (two tomorrow even!) who knows where the winds of change will take us then? I just know that God has a plan and we are to simply lean on Him. Both me and Jason are definately learning a whole new meaning of the concept of trusting in Him for all things. I think that is the point of all this waiting and waiting on the job situation. I am so glad it has a purpose! Yay God! So on that happy note I will leave you!
Blessings,
Kelley
