In thinking about the need to write a new blog post for the last two months, I've debated what to write about, because there is so much to share, but I have decided, for this blog post, to share all the new things in my life.
Life With Roomies
In my last blog, I shared that I am now living with three other young women. This has been such a blessing, but it has been an adjustment. I am trying to be aware of things like if I'm using the entire kitchen to make a sandwich while others need to eat or yelling at the Colts game when others are working or napping. I think it's going quite splendidly... at least they haven't told me otherwise. ;)

This year, my schedule is a little different. I'm not teaching Math Applications or AP Statistics, and instead I'm teaching Biblical Ethics and Domestic Arts. Biblical Ethics is a class for 10th graders (girls this semester, boys next semester) that takes place 3 days a week. The purpose of the class is to discuss how we see and respond to issues in the world from a Biblical perspective. It's very discussion heavy, and I get to play devil's advocate a lot, which I love. Domestic Arts has been so much fun. We've done various projects such as book making, crocheting, and card making. I like having the opportunity to flex my creative side of my brain. Next semester, I'll teach Culinary Arts, so I'm anticipating needing bigger clothes. :)
That Coach Life
I got involved last year playing volleyball every other Wednesday. Volleyball is the one sport I've ever felt like I could be good at, and my skills have improved (I think) with the addition of being an assistant coach for our girls' volleyball team. It's a short season, only 6 weeks long, but I loved working with the girls. The improvement that we saw was undeniable, and I am so proud of all of the girls' hard work. This has been a joy, and it's something I hope to continue with.
What's Life Without a Little Music?
At the beginning of the school year, our director approached me and asked if I would sing on the praise team about once a month with him and a few others at the international church I attend. I said yes, and I have had the privilege to sing three times with that group of people and once with another group. I love music, and I enjoy helping lead worship.
I think that's it for now. There are other little "firsts" that remind me continually of how blessed I am to be here. I am so thankful for the opportunity to call this country my home.
