Short Week

I only have to teach two days this week. Sweet! After tomorrow I only have ten days of student teaching to go. Then I will get my teaching certificate and my diploma. I'm pretty excited to be done.

I have absolutely no idea what I will be doing in 2008. I do know that I am going to Seattle for Christmas and maybe a bit longer, but after that I don't know. I don't think I'm going to be an au pair abroad. And that's ok. God's plans are bigger then my own. I just wish He would clue me in rather then leave me in suspense.

Things in Flagstaff have been going very well. I'm pretty happy here for the most part. Now that I have a routine that I like, things are good. It is going to start getting cold though. Maybe I will just stay and work in Seattle until it warms up here. That's not a bad idea. But, we'll have to wait and see.

I've changed my plans so many times now that I don't know if I should even bother sharing my ideas any more. Every time people get excited about what I'm doing (including myself) then I go and change it all up. Since I don't know what I (or God) wants, I think I'll just keep the planning stages on the DL. Not because they are special but I just want to be able to tell everyone what is really happening. Not just what might possibly happen if I don't change my mind. However, I reserve the right to keep changing my mind on here.

This past summer I was checking out the Peace Corps. It sounds like it would be an amazing adventure, but it wasn't for me. The recruiter I talked to said he brought a bunch of baseball supplies with him and taught the kids to play baseball. I thought that sounded awesome! Well XA did a mission this past summer where they went to Kyrgyzstan and formed a little league baseball team. They also were able to share the Gospel to the kids. I've been thinking and praying about whether I should go. It would be pretty cool to teach baseball to a bunch of little Russian speaking Muslum kids. Who knows, maybe my team would even win the championship. I'll keep praying on that one.

It is time for me to go teach now. Only two days this week. For Thanksgiving I am going to Tucson to hang out with my brother, sister, and Dad. We are cooking Thai food. We aren't very tradiational but it should be tastey. I better look up recipes! I'm hoping to get a hike in this weekend too. Maybe some of my old friends will want to go to Sabino Canyon one night. That's always fun. If not, I'll just slap on some sunscreen and go for a walk. Hasta luego.
