What It's All About

My answer to that question for today is: Family!

I have recently been spending a lot of time with my family and I am pleased to report that they are all still as wonderful as I remember them to be. Last week I was in Arkansas at my parents' new house (which is lovely) and I got to spend lots of time with my parents, my older brother, John, and Irena, his extraordinary girlfriend. During that time we also had a fun day filled with cousins, aunts, uncles, and cousins' kids from my mom's side of the family. The most unique time last week, though, was when aunts, uncles, cousins, and the like were gathered from both my mom's and dad's side of the family for a boisterous dinner at Bucca de Beppo in Kansas City. It was amazing to see everyone there.

There were lots of pictures taken of these events, so hopefully some will be finding their way online soon.

This week I will be returning to school at North Middle School here in Sioux City. I am excited to be teaching computer classes along with one section of geography concerning Africa. I'll try to let you all in on the trials and thrills of working with 13-16 year old students, so keep on checking back once in awhile!
