So, I am deciding to take a moment to write a witty commentary that will surely be read by our multitude of readers, all 4 of them, Anyway, things are going well for me this year. I had a good class last year, but this year is probably going to end up being one of my ever. I have a class of 21 girls. It can be a lot of drama, but we've decided to be "drama-free" this year. The girls are totally buying everything I'm selling and it's making such a huge difference in their lives. I'm so excited that they are growing as friends and more importantly as learners.
The girls tennis team also did very well this year. We went 17-3 overall and won our region with an undefeated record of 10-0. Unfortunately we didn't win a state championship, but we made it to the upper state finals and finished in the top 4 of the state. It's great to see our tennis program doing so well. Our boys team is going to be in contention for a state championship this year as well.
So that is the news from me about the job and the extracurriculars. I am a happy camper this year and just trying to be the best teacher/coach that I can be every day because that's all I can do. I used to think I had to be perfect at both, but I'm starting to realize that I can't kill myself trying to do that, I just have to be the best that I can be. Some days I'm better, some days I'm not so good, but it will all work out in the end.
I'm also trying to be a good husband and "dad" now as we are now parents of a fantastic..ally awful dog. He is much loved and I'm super attached to him, but he is soooooo bad. I can't believe how he just doesn't listen. It's preparing us for kids though and the more you talk to Amy, the closer that day is coming. Yikes! I'm pretty sure I'll be a good dad and I know for absolutely 100% sure that the wifey will be a most amazing mom, so it's ok if we take that plunge soon, I think!!!! I will be freaked out, but it is going to happen eventually.
Now for that great wife of mine. I am still very excited to be married to the best thing that's happened to me. She has had a rough year so far, but it's making her stronger in some way, I just know it. We are going through opposite ends of the spectrum this year, but I'm sure I'll be there at some point. I know she will be there for me just as much as I've been there for her this year. She is going to be coming up on the 1 year anniversary of her mom's death and I know it will be difficult. I'm going to be there making her think about puppy dogs, ice cream, rainbows, and any other happy thought that we can think of. It will be OK, we can get through it. Might be some tears shed, but I'll have the tissues ready. I love her more everyday and can't wait to go through everything life has to through at us.
That's it for me. I will write again next year!
