A Long Time Coming

A week ago today I got a job. And the day before that, Jon got a job. Both are term positions, but we are SO thrilled! I may or may not have literally jumped for joy ;)
I am enjoying teaching SO much, and LOVE my students.

Here are a few pictures from the holidays. I had to include the one of me laughing...Ayii caught me mid-laugh at something apparently super hilarious, maybe even more hilarious than anything ever--yikes. I can't look at it without laughing. Thought my crazy face would make others laugh, too.
And of course my beautiful nieces. Jon and I got to babysit them one day, and it was a blast! Here Halle and Jon are making a snow fort and getting Kaylee to smile.
Basically, I'm feeling more positive and happy lately. And that's a good thing.
