Accomplishment

Today I feel very accomplished. Since last night at about 1:30, I have managed to complete my taxes, my FAFSA and my DE state taxes. That includes sleeping and working time. Ah, concentration. And making very little money. It makes filing so much simpler.

I have found my love...

...and it is a tumble dryer. Be thankful for how common they are in the US. Today is washing day 2. Every load I do I have to wait forever for it to dry before I can hang the next one. How I miss the ease and speed of drying clothes quickly.

I am sorry for how long it has taken me to update. With Christmas, New Year, and YFC conference being back-to-back, time just seemed to disappear.

Things are incredibly better here. Ben's been moved in for quite awhile and it makes life much nicer to not be consistently alone. The fact of a wii and lots of DVDs also helps. Soon, Ben will get shelves for the DVDs and then we have quite a project to do--cataloging the insaneness.

The Friday night group we've begun is going really well. We did our first more serious group meeting last week and we got a lot of conversation out of them- talking about image and how we need to not judge others based on their appearance. Next week, we're either going to the cinema or bowling! I'm voting for bowling.

I've also begun going to an older group at the Methodist church in the next town over. I love the kids in the group and it's been really fun getting to know them. Unfortunately, it comes with lots of church politics and YFC grudges. I'm doing my best to remain neutral and not get anyone into trouble being stuck in the middle of it all. I just wanna be able to get to know the kids!

I'm still really liking the GCSE classes in the school, as well. The RE department recently got a student teacher- sadly, who is an older retired Anglican priest. Also sadly, it means he'll be taking over primary teaching of our classes. I'm hoping we'll still get to be in them, but I'm not even sure of that.

I promise to be better about the updates!
