so week two of my blog and i’m still going strong.  the week was pretty uneventful although i showed the movie Apollo 13 in my class and was reminded again of how good a movie that is.  it also made me think of how sad it is how much movies dictate what we know of history.  i’m teaching astronomy right now in my 9th grade science class and no one in the class new which Apollo mission was the first to reach the moon.  all but one of them knew that Apollo 13 almost crashed…and that one kid that didn’t know about Apollo 13 moved to states from Ethiopia 3 months ago.  how many of you know which Apollo mission made it to the moon?  anyways, enough about that.

had a good small group meeting today.  we watched a nooma video that talked about how important silence is…how important it is to listen for God not in the thunder, earthquake, or fire, but in the silence.  made me think about how when we were in korea i missed being out of the big city noise.  but now that we’re here in new mexico surrounded by nature, i can still get caught up in life and not take the time to listen.  it also made me think of how i take for granted the beauty around us.

so we got Leia spayed this week.  she’s been walking around with a belly wrap for a few days.  seems to be recovering though.  since i wasn’t blogging 6 months ago i didn’t get to post this video i took of marley and leia wrestling when leia was still just a cute little puppy.

both leia and marley are now quite a bit bigger now but still just as entertaining.  marley, despite her size is about the loudest child i’ve ever heard.  not as talkative as zoe was, but when she talks she definitely makes herself heard.

got the day off of school tomorrow for MLK day but have to go to school for an inservice…gotta love it.  going to try to get up for basketball at 6:30 so i need to get some sleep.

adios for now
