Well, this is not only Kristin's last year of high school but Korie's last year of middle school. She started 8th grade this week. Today was picture day and we took one before she left the house, too! It was a rough week to start. Korie has an ear infection and Kristin had 3 games this week..and it was only a 4 day week! So we have been busy but good. We did manage to get Korie to bed by 9 each night so it wasn't TOO bad.
Her class is on the second floor this year. So she catches the elevator by herself when arriving and leaving school each day as well as when she goes to the nurses station twice daily. So she is really getting around. Everyone seems to know her well and she kinda "rules the school"...at least her part of it.
Thinking about next year is a little daunting....the high schools are so big and so much more.....I don't know...scary!? But we will get through it. I thought middle school would be hard but we loved it.
Other blessings this week:
An 11th grade boy at our church, Nick, went to Menchville HS. He asked me a month a go to pray that his parents would let him come to Denbigh..he really wanted to go to our school! Kris came home from youth group Wednesday night all excited because Nick said he was starting at our school the next day! So he is there now. I saw him last night at the game and he was so happy! That just made my whole week!
Bible study started up again...we are doing Beth Moore's study JESUS, THE ONE AND ONLY. It is going to be so good! It seems like forever since we last met in the spring together. I had a really good group. I think we will have around 15 ladies in the morning class and at least that many, if not more in the evening one.
Mom is coming next week. It will be good to have her around. She will see Kristin play, hear my group sing and go with me to Ladies Auxilary which starts back up next week after a summer hiatus.
So, everyone is now back to school and things are back to "normal". My normal will change next year. So I am going to enjoy it for now!
