Sharks, Snakes, Surprises and Sayounara Summer

Oh dear...it has been some time since I've posted. I must say though, I think I have some good reasons for not getting to my computer. : )

To catch you all up on life...here are some pictures.


The little house at Mode Camp where I had the opportunity to teach the youngin's!

Fishy windows

After Mode Camp, Lucas and I traveled to Florida. We made a stop in St. Augustine. I was thankful for a chance to see some of the places that I will be teaching about in Florida State History this year! : )



This little "room" was located near a one room school house. I couldn't resist posting this picture! : )

I've been spending quite a bit of time in my classroom over the past few days. Here is how the year will begin.


I'm adjusting to life in Florida. I miss everyone from home! Last Thursday was especially hard since Lucas left on Wednesday evening. Two wonderful teachers came over armed with sparkling grape juice, flowers and a card! Thank you girls! : )



I have been thinking about so many things lately and would like to post some deeper thoughts, but my bed is calling tonight!

More later...Jo

Aw, Jo. Looks like you were definately welcomed to Florida. I'm sure you're sad. Living in a new state is never easy...new home, new friends, new place of worship, but you know what? The best thing of all is that even though all of these NEW things are around you, Jesus is walking right by your side every step of the way and He's the same Jesus that was in Illinois with you. =)

Love you and have a great first day of school!!!!! When things slow down a bit, we'll talk about getting together. Miss and love you.

I'm "catching up" on your blog. Love the pictures of your classroom! Hope your year is going well. (May have to chat sometime, as Sunshine Girl is in
4th grade this year, as well.) ;-)
