Things that are different here...

Please keep in mind we have lived here before, in fact I have always wanted to live here for the longest time. Actually I wanted to live in Walnut, but Kristy did not want us too. I just thought it would be cool to live in Walnut. It is about 20 minutes from here. One thing different is there is prayer in school just not over the loud speakers. Everytime I go to a meeting they are praying, before every game we pray and every team prays together all the time. I have not been exposed to this much prayer in a long time outside of church. This is a really good thing.

It is so slow around here. They make schedules and set times aside to meet and then change it or just show up later than the time, but I am always on time here.

Soccer is really different. U14 is more like U8 in NC. Tonight we got our first win, because I did not put the guy in goal that said he knew how to play goalie, but really did not. He had never used his handsbefore this week. I found this out about half way thru the first game. Next spring I hope that I will be revamping the whole sports plex league. We have had 3 practices and now we have like 14 games and then a tourney. This is not right. The kids need more practice at least one after a first game. The schedule is so bad that they can not practice at all during the week. Enough of that.

Dogs run loose all the time. City ordinance is suppose to enforce it, but good luck with that. I am waiting to get more neighbors in herefrom out of town before I tackle this one.

Runners, Runners everywhere. We live in a neighborhood that has about 20 runners a night go by our house. We are leading the charge biking, but we are way out numbered. I will start running again when my leg feels better (I hurt it running after the Cross Country kids at the meet Sat.). I did ride my bike tonight, and hopefully this will loosen it up a bit. It was awesome. I love biking.

Classes are going well. Kids are really good. I only have about 4 bad kids out of 120. The rest I can control. My classes are definitely unique. I only have 2 more 6 weeks left with them.
