This was the first week back from Christmas break. Usually it is exhausting for teachers and students alike, and it was. The nice surprise was how calm the kids were. I am not sure what it was, but they seemed to "get" being a student. They were more focused than they have been all year. They listened and payed attention. I was floored. I have never had a group come back like this, and I won't complain!
I also discovered that I can now make it to work in 17 minutes, instead of of 20-24 minutes. We live further south, but the interstate is wonderful! The only downside is I have to deal with crazier and more aggressive drivers. I was also nicely surprised by the rush hour, or lack their of, traffic. I was expecting things to be bad, but there isn't much of a difference. It does take me a little longer to get to the freeway when I am going home, but once I am on it is normal speeds.
This was the first week of real life as a married person. It was the first week of shopping, and laundry, and family home evening, and working out study schedules, and attending the temple. I would say the it didn't go too bad. We definitely have some kinks to work out. For instance, foods that Tim actually likes. We haven't had any disasters, but I have discovered some things that I did not know. I think the hardest thing to get used to is sharing a bed. It's like a mini-earthquake any time someone moves and it wakes the other person up.
Next week's adventure will be to go visiting teaching. A family ward is very different than a singles ward, but I am finding there are still the same types of individuals when it comes to motivation about the church and life in general. It's a good thing I have had lots of practice with a variety of individuals!
No wedding pictures yet. I will post them as soon as I get them.
