First Days of School...

So our first two days of school are over!!! We did so far.
The first day in 1st grade when awesome. What adorable little children:

My first grade class working on their first project!!
As cute as they are - they sure are talkers. As much as I loved the first day and enjoyed getting to know them today was a trial. They like to talk whenever and well, it'll be a challenge to get them to listen - all year!
Over in 6th grade - Jake had a great first two days. He's busy testing the 6th, 7th and 8th graders in Math so he knows what type of Math to teach them. Science he's getting started on life science. He's gotta alot of work ahead of him this year and he'll learn to become more organized and ready!
We are both so excited to be working at this school, with the amazing teachers we get to work with and the fun and adorable students!
After our first day, we went with Brittany and Mark to Pacific Island Club for a first-day celebration. Our tables were in the sand, and we could enjoy the sunset and chat about our first day. We really love this new couple and can't thank God enough for having them here too. They are a blessing to each of us.

Mark and Brittany Sawyer! :) We love you too!!

The beautiful sunset and water!!!

Also - today Jake and I bought ourselves a scooter. We had been looking with Brit and Mark the past couple days for some cheap, under $400 scooters and happened to find one for $380. After Jake test drove it to an ATM he brought it home and now we have some wheels... :)

Me and my new helmet!
Our new ride!!
Please continue to keep us in your prayers and let us know how your lives are going. We can't wait to hear how everything is going for you and your families!!! We miss you all!
Love
