Spring Break

This coming week is my spring break. Matt is still in classes and has a short break in a couple weeks between terms. His term schedule is so strange. He is really enjoying his current classes, except for the physics. But he's doing great in his power systems class- which is his major- so I'm glad he loves it. He should start doing a coop in July we are hoping so he's been applying for those! We hope he gets the best one and prays that whichever one he gets will be wonderful and will be able to hire him when school is over. We are just so excited that he gets paid for this so that we can replenish our savings. It took a huge hit over Christmas time, it was like once we starting buying presents, we just couldn't stop, jk!!

At school this week we had a spring concert. The K-3 classes sang some songs, like a mini musical, that the music teacher put together. She's an amazing teacher, my school is really lucky that it has the most amazing teachers I've ever seen in my years of school experience. This concert was soooooo cute. The kids came all dressed up in their designer clothes -- its funny how the culture is so different, they may not eat, but they have designer duds-- and sang the cutest songs "how does your garden groove." I videoed it on my awesome digital camera and showed it to them the next day. They all felt like super stars. The director of the school announced they plan to renovate the elementary wing. The will be knocking down all the walls in the wing and building up "normal" sized classrooms that are square. They will be putting in new heating and cooling systems and windows. We are so excited for this change because he will be adding classrooms in hope of growing our elementary. Its exciting that our school is going to get a little bigger when most schools around here are firing and cutting back. The Lord surely blessed me with the most perfect job imaginable. lov

Hooray! You'll get more space to move around in while you teach. I know I need to make a Hannah update. It will come soon, it's just that videos take forever to load (as you know) and that's no fun.
