Day 291, The end of a chapter

Today I was released from my calling as RS President.

I don't think there are words to adequately describe my emotions.

And so, a door closes..... which normally means that a window is about to open somewhere.

Today I miss Raechel.

Day 242, My lips are sealed...

Nope, I won't say it... No way...Not gonna do it....Nuh uh! You won't hear one peep from me....not one single hint....No siree!

MY VACATION IS OVER-----WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Ah well, I never was very good at keeping secrets or hiding my emotions. :)

Tomorrow it's back to Planet M.... Wonder what new adventures await me there. I may complain on the outside, but truth be told, the instant I step onto the campus, the adrenaline rush will begin....and the moment I greet my students at the classroom door---it's "game on!" I have the best job on the planet.

Day 88, Recovery

It's Friday again, and you know what that means...... pajamas and my Lazyboy :) It has been a week of endings...the end of a relationship, the end of cross country season, the end of the World Series, and the end of waiting for baby Jane. This morning Jane had her first open heart surgery. The doctors are optimistic about the procedure, and they are hopeful that she may be home in about 2 weeks. We have a photo on our desktop of her after the surgery, but it is too heart-breaking to share. She is covered in wires, hooked up to all sorts of machines, and sporting a thick blanket to cover her body and the train of stitches that now adorn her chest. When we think of the alternative, we are grateful for every bit of it. She is a determined little girl with a huge battle in front of her. The next surgery will take place in Spring...they will do this all over again on the other side. Sigh!

Another jaunt to Starbucks in the morning to meet the Rejection Queen and exchange manuscripts. I am looking forward to it :)
Glad the weekend is finally here! Looking forward to Thanksgiving break in two more weeks!!! Yippeeee.

RAK??? Yep... but this one isn't one I can share online.  Love you honey ;)
