Well, I'm working in Asheville for the summer and driving to Charlotte on the weekends. Trying to find inexpensive solutions to decor of the new house. Any ideas for a floor covering for the living room? Tile is a bit chilly in the winter! I'd also like to define the dining and living room, but it's one long wall. Should I keep it one color and just use furniture?

It's exciting! I haven't heard anything from my last school....God is in control and giving me small doses of peace about the future...However, hearing how needy 1st graders are and knowing how needy 2nd graders were (and how it drove me crazy) causes me some anxiety :-(.

Love you all!

Hello everyone. It has been a busy few months since spring break, but I'm ecstatic to report that school is out for the summer! I'm spending this week packing up my class, interviewing, and going to a workshop for writing, but the real summer will start soon.

I'm working on buying a house this summer...just have to find the right one and have my offer accepted. I'm also desiring to spend some quality time with my savior. It has been a trying couple of months and a bit of a roller coaster. I trust in the Lord and know His plans concerning me are good.

My school told me I'm placed in 1st grade next year (told, not asked) and it is not a place that I feel I will enjoy or succeed in teaching well. Should the Lord keep me at the school, I'm praying for wisdom, joy, and a non-complaining spirit. Should he choose to remove me and put me somewhere else...I'm praying He will guide me there as well and be all that I need.

Thank you for all of your prayer- those of you who pray for me. And thank you for keeping in touch. I trust you are all doing well.
God Bless,
Heather
