It's October.
I have a job now. I teach 3rd grade at the same school that I student taught in last year. In fact, I have one of the younger sisters of a student from last year. There's something to be said about that.

Teaching is hard, but really worth it. The kids are fantastic. Sometimes they drive you crazy, but in the end they help you take life into perspective and make you laugh.

My brother, sister-in-law and nephew have moved back to Washington State. I love being able to see them every few weeks. They currently live on my old island home, and I've just returned from visiting. There's also something to be said about walking with your nephew up the same steps to the same church you walked up as a kid to.

Speaking of my nephew (sometimes it's hard to get me to stop) he says my name now. A lot. And he can say complete sentences. It's amazing how quickly he learns things these days.

I wish I could learn that quickly.
