Well we went to the beach this weekend and really got to relax. I slept more than I have in a long time and it was great. I took no photos (bad mommy) but wish I had. Norah loved the beach as always and we had a great time!
School last week was very busy for me as I am in my new room with the "sub teacher" as my HR stuff has not gone to official status yet. Tomorrow is my first day actually teaching and I am very excited about it! Things have been a whirlwind so far but I love being busy and learning everything. I did get my room a little put together Friday after the students left but it still needs to be tweaked as well. I have a feeling that this 4 day work week will fly by!
And to the incredible story...I finished "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand and those men whose lives are described in the POW camps and Mr. Louis Zamperini himself...are awe inspiring. It makes you really think about what made them keep going. The faith, hope and belief in themselves is astounding and I am amazed how they made it through. Louis Zamperini had an experience that seems so unreal that it is hard to imagine someone really going through it. It makes me think of all the men that have been through a war and what that has done to them and their lives. You should read the book...it is an inspirational, fascinating read.
