Hello ladies!

I am sorry to again be delinquent on my responses, but we have been having at-home computer issues again. So, today during my lunch, I decided to take a second to read the postings and say hello to everyone. I loved catching up as I read all of your postings. It sounds like there are a lot of exciting things going on with all of you.

MaryAnn - Congrats on taking the next step forward to getting a job in a public school.

Lori Jo - What is the status of your library job? I can definitely relate to being overwhelmed. That has been my story for the last 3 months or so. I love that the people here are so supportive. They have never had a librarian before so basically anything I do looks good, but that doesn't help me being completely overwhelmed. My library looks barren to say the least. I have not even had a moment to put up decorations. I feel like I am headed for a breakdown right now. I have met with my principal who is currently trying to delegate some of the responsibilities that ended up on my plate when they shouldn't have been. My caution to anyone at a new job is be careful of taking on too much.

Well, other than being overwhelmed, life in Denver is good. I think once this year is over I will feel a lot better. It is just hard starting all over again. I forgot what it was like my first year of teaching. But, dont' get me wrong, I definitely am sooooooooo glad that I am in a library. I just think all of the changes TJ and I made at once have gotten me a little overwhelmed.

Lets start planning a Denver trip now! I really want you guys to come visit. I could definitely use a weekend with you guys!

Talk to you soon!

We are coming to Colorado Feb. 1 - 3 for a ski trip. Will be staying at a condo in Breckenridge, CO. That's like an hour from Denver, right? Maybe we could meet half way one of those evenings for dinner and drinks. Or you could join us for some skiing. The condo we have is just a few short yards from the ski lift and it has a jacuzzi. :-)
