Hello!

It's been an interesting couple of weeks. Where to start...
Well, for one, I made a trip back to Marquette! OK, technically Gwinn, but that's not the point. I picked up a week of subbing down there while I was still apparently waiting for all of my CCISD paperwork to clear. I stayed right in Gwinn with my friends, Dave and Kelyn, in their absolutely gorgeous house right in town there. It was great--I had my own room and my own bathroom! It was also great to see the kids at GHS again and see some of the staff. I was supposed to go back later this week again, but those days got cancelled. Not to terribly worried at this point, because thankfully the CCISD stuff cleared and I'm finally starting to get days up here. But, back to the MQT trip--it was great to see friends again. I got to see my friends Marty and Kaylynn for the first time in a long time, and finally got to meet their son, Elliott. Oh my goodness, was he ever adorable. I kept joking that I wanted one after holding and playing with him, but then he started crying and that was enough for me. ;) I crashed band and what was more-or-less a band get-together, too, which was fun. I really miss being a part of a group like that, and I really miss playing. No offense to my Techie friends but it felt great to hang out with some Wildcats again. ;)
And, I'm heading back again this weekend! This weekend is the regular season hockey opener for both Northern and Tech! Brandon and I are heading down with another couple, our friends Janne and Outi. We're going to the game in Marquette on Friday night (and no, I will not be sitting with the Tech fans, I will be back in Section 16 Row K where I belong!), then heading over to the Soo on Saturday. We're hoping to head in to Soo Canada, then we're going to the Tech/LSSU game (and this time I will be joining the Tech fans, uniting against those Lakers! OhhowIhate LakeSuperiorState!)
I had my first subbing days at a school up here. It was a little strange being in a new building, with new people, and new ways of handling things. I liked it there, though, and I hope they keep calling me!
OK, that's really all I have. Have a good day, all!
