Back to School 2026

Okay, what is the face I'm making?  Yeah.  It about sums it up.  I really felt like I was going to change jobs this summer.  Had 3 interviews.  No takers.  So I'm back in fifth grade.  And I really do feel good about it.  I love what I'm doing.  It just feels like a lot when you add seminary and wrestling stuff.  I feel like the answer to my prayers has instead been a mindset shift.  I don't have to get worked up over every little thing. So I'm trying not to.  Also I have a class of 31 again.  So far they seem to be an easier bunch than my last big class.  So here's hoping! 

Love these cuties so much.  Are Ben's eyes closed in that picture? Maybe.  But he's been having a great year so far. 

This is senior year!  It's having 4 classes at school and one running start class.  It's having swim and dive every day after school.  It's being dive captain.  It's being awesome. 

This is sophomore year.  It's being in regular history and maybe kinda wishing you'd gone for AP World.  It's taking driver's ed.  It's being a pretty good little driver.  It's playing football and getting in the varsity game when the team gets way ahead.  It's finally being 5'4" and hoping there's a lot more growth where that came from. It's being fun to be around. 


 Tomorrow we start seminary! It's getting real!
