Emily loses her mind

Let's do some math. Not a phrase you normally hear from me...I know. She is due to deliver our first child on September 15. She managed to get a job with Killeen Independent School District last week. She has passed the required exam, so the job is official now. She'll be teaching a class of 1st graders. Here's the math...September 15 minus August 12. That's just over a month before she's due. (I never said the math would be complicated.) How many woman get a job at 8 months of pregnancy. Most of us knew she was crazy due to her choice of husbands, but this one has to solidify her insanity.

In South Carolina, the weather is better. The classes are pretty much the same. Next week will be Capstone. This is a week in the field where we practice implimenting the things we have been taught this summer. I'll post again sometime this weekend.

Emily is so excited over her job insane or not. I get to help her next week get her room ready, that is if she waits for me. We knew she would pass the test. She said today she was showing a new teacher how to get around town, she is a pro now. Do good on your activities this week and know we pray for daily. Love Mom

Emily will do just fine. If she could put up with me in high school she's got it made! ;) Glad to hear everyone is doing well!

Not that I'm a literary genius, but "loses" is better than "loosed." Glad to see you're doing well. I had to take a shot at you if nothing else to ease the emotional load. Jill's getting as big as a house. We've got 10 weeks if she can hold out. Tell Em congrats on the job. Talk to you soon.

thank you Cole. You're right...you're not a literary genius. However, I obviously cannot spell the simplest of words. Thanks for helping me look slightly less stupid.

Hey Em, we miss you in Hebron. I think that YOU are the only sane decision that Justin has ever made...so don't let him give you a hard time. He knows that you are a special, tough woman. I'm so proud for you! Samie
Justin....hang in there... we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
