Onward and upward...

So we are into December now and it really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. We had a little bit of snow here in the midwest last weekend. Just a dusting, but it is always nice to see how pretty everything is in white. I have a busy busy month ahead of me. I started assistant coaching 8th grade girls basketball. It has been so different then I expected. I have coached for four years previous to now, but this age group is so much different. What I like to call the "know it all" stage. They think they know everything and are not afraid to tell you about it. Anyways, they obviously do not, because we are 0-3. My coaching record....I had not lost a regular season game until this year. Then again I am not the head coach and we have very different styles of coaching. I am learning a lot though, and I am thankful for that.
Besides teaching and coaching and I keeping myself busy. Getting ready for Christmas, all the plans are made and a schedule is lined out. This way I wont have to worry about how much time I'm spending with one family and not the other, etc. Sadly it has to be this way. And yes the family have been told about this time line and know that I will stick to it strictly.
I am preparing two songs to sing in church. I am singing Breathe of Heaven (mary's song) on the 14th. And I am singing Shout to the Lord on January the 4th. My brother and his Ex-wife are getting re-married on January 3rd, hoping to do it right this time and stay in church. *crosses fingers* Of course we have New Years in there and that following week I will pack like crazy, leaving for Alaska on January 6th.
It hasn't hit me yet, how quickly that is coming up. Oh, and a little update: I talked to Lynne from housing and she said that the floor plan for UAS is not finished yet. She thinks I will be getting a placement letter in the mail sometime next week. *crosses fingers again*

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
