Mmmmmm.... Beer and Corn :)

Last night we met up with Josh, Virgil and Kristy at the Urbana Sweet Corn Festival. Where else can you get fresh sweet corn, beer and all the usual festival fixings in one place? It was great! We always have a wonderful time, but this year was twice as fun as we met up with people and had a great time chatting and goofing around.

School has started and things are getting to be in full swing. Monday will be my first day with all my kiddos and I can't wait to get to know them better. My little 6th graders are such weirdos, but I just love them to bits. It can't get much better than what I have it. I have been working on getting technology into the classroom more and it seems to be doing a great job. The kids love playing with all of the cool stuff I get to bring into the classroom.

On the homefront, my surgery went well, but the result was not what we wanted. I am being vague here because of the extreme personalness of the topic, but know that I am healthy and doing ok, just dealing with the hardest thing I have ever been through and wouldn't wish on anyone. Hope this reaches everyone well. Have a wonderful weekend!
