Long week

Happy weekend! It feels that the closer you get to a holiday break, the longer the days go. One more full week and then a half week until Thanksgiving.
It was a stressful week at school. There was a bad stomach flu going around so lots of students and teachers out. There is an extreme subsitute shortage so other teachers have to fill in whenever possible. In addition, one teacher's wife had a baby, and another had to leave for a family emergency.
In the junior high we had 3 students arrested for distribution of marijuana which is really sad at such a young age.
Saturday we hung out with James and Amy. We went to a different resturant which I dubbed the Ding Dong of the extreme north. Very small town diner that had great food.
Andrew took his kids on a field trip on Thursday to a financial fitness seminar. He and the students said it was good information, but the lunch was the best part of the day. It was too much information in one day for them. There are so few options for field trips for kids up here that you have to jump at the opprortunity when possible.
Good news for our friends Caleb and Sarah. They have been moved out of the dorms that the school owns, and into the apartment building! No more shared bathroom and kitchen for them. They are both excited to have their own place and we are excited to have them as neighbors.
It's our week to cook dinner, and then our Sunday night assigned time to do laundry.
Hope everyone has an excellent week and is gearing up for Thanksgiving!
