This is my new blogg, I used to post at martinite2004.blogspot.com, but deecided on a change.
I have not posted in quite a while, I guess I have been really busy. Teaching is going well, it is hard to believe that there are only two and a half weeks of school until Christma Vacation. I also coached Jr. High Cross-Country this year. We had a losing season, but I am looking forward to next year. Hopefully many of my seventh graders will be back next year. Lisa and I have some news for anyone who may not have heard yet. We are expecting our first child at the beginning of June next year. Lisa is already in her second trimester and is doing well. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat at the last doctors appointment. She will go back to the doctor before Christmas. We will learn if it is a boy or a girl in January. If it is a boy we are planning on decorating in Curious George, if it is a girl I think we are going to do Whinnie the Pooh. My sister also found out that she is pregnant and she will be due at the end of June. Lisa's cousin Christy is also going to be having a baby in July. Lots of babies comming soon. We went out and saw Lisa's family back in September. We drove out to Minnesota for her cousin's wedding. We also saw her brother Todd and his girlfriend Kristi in Holland, MI last weekend. That was a lot of fun. We will be driving out to South Dakota over the Christmas holiday. Lisa is getting really excited. We havn't seen her niece since this summer. She was not at the wedding in September. My college classes have been going well also. I will be finished with my first course this Thursday. I have not even started my portfolio though. Opps! I guess I will have to work extra hard this next semester to get it done. I am excited about the next course, I think it will be very interesting. It is the study of court decisions in Special Education. I will try to keep this updated more often. I just have to take the time to do it.
