That is me protesting against the snow that is coming! The school district has moved my orientation AGAIN to NEXT Monday because we are supposed to get lots of snow Tuesday night and all day Wednesday and it's supposed to be icy as well. Am I ever going to get to work??? Not that I mind having free time, but it would be nice to be earning a paycheck! Although, God has really provided for us, and we're doing ok, but this is a little ridiculous. Is He trying to teach me patience or something??? :-) And what about the student I'm supposed to be working with? Is he/she just without an aide? Poor kid. I'm so glad we moved out of Anchorage and all the snow...
I guess I have more time to study now! Yay! :-/ I took an official practice test on Friday after studying for several hours, trying to grasp, again, what a derivative is and I was 4 questions short of passing. Tim was helping me with some of the questions I missed and helped me realize that I actually could have solved some of the ones I didn't think I knew because I just got overwhelmed with the question and thought I had no idea how to do it. So, even though I didn't score nearly high enough for my liking, it did help my confidence to see that I wasn't as far off on the scoring part as I thought I would be.
Well, Tim and I did have fun in the snow last week when we went sledding on the big hill at the church building. The snow was so high, that we sunk down when we sat on it, so we had to drag ourselves down a couple of times to make a track smooth enough to slide down. But once we did, it was fun! (Climbing up after going down was not as fun, but what goes down, must come up, right? ;-p). We brought Toby too, and after I went down the first time, he really wanted to come save me, so Tim let him go and he ran down the hill to me, and then I let him go back up to Tim, thinking he would stop when he got to the top, but he didn't. He ran into the parking lot, made a huge circle around it to the back of the church building, where the snow was really deep, and that slowed him down enough for Tim to catch up to him and grab him. It was HILARIOUS. I wish I had gotten it on tape, but Tim had the camera. :-)
One last thing, GO PACKERS!!! We're having the youth group over at our house for the Super Bowl. It should be fun. You may think I'm crazy for rooting for the Packers against the Steelers in Pennsylvania, but first, I have a family member on the Packers! What's his name again? Something Wells... :-) And there are more Eagles fans here than Steelers because we're much closer to Philadelphia. I did find out last night at youth group that one of the girls is a big Steelers fans. Oh well.
Have a good week everyone! :-)

We're getting a little bit of the white stuff today and school is closed here too. It's not supposed to get above freezing until Friday! If you're watching any of the Super Bowl coverage, I'm sure you're seeing what it's like here. Hope the snow goes away there soon so you can get to work!!! Glad you're having some fun with it all!! Love you!
