October through November...
October was a blur (really, this whole school year so far is! I cannot believe how fast it is going! One quarter down already!)
The first weekend in October we celebrated Bryan's one year since his shop opened. We feel so blessed that it is going so well, and we made a last-minute production out of our first year of success! He has made many people happy, and loves to serves others. He also challenges himself from time to time, like his current project that is a '57 Chevy Bel Air. (He has yet to complete the restorations!)
My job is going super well this year! I am loving my class, my teaching partner, our new principal, everything...
And when we are not working we are enjying time with family! In September, we celebrated Bryan's baby niece's dedication and also my youngest niece's fourth birthday!
We have also been enjoying time with friends. At the end of October, we got a group of people together to go into a haunted corn maize and go haunted cosmic bowling! This past Thanksgiving weekend, we all went to a country bar and then a few of us went yesterday to Mount Hood to go tubing/sledding. I also did some light-duty Black Friday shopping with another friend :-) and to the Woodburn outlet stores with Bryan.
My biggest achievement this month, outside of completing first quarter report cards and having successful parent-teacher conferences, was cooking my first turkey for Thanksgiving and having both of our families over! We feel very blessed.
This has been a great autumn. The only problem we are currently dealing with is an injury Bryan incurred while at the gym. Thankfully it has not interfered too much with work, though he has been going to multiple doctors, having tests, and participating in weekly physical therapy (the cost of which keeps rising, and now we have more to figure out, such as the true extent of his injury...)We were hoping to get it all squared away by the end of the calendar year (for insurance purposes!) though this is looking more serious than we anticipated. However, through all things God works for the better purpose of His people, so we will see how all ends up. Now we are just looking forward to the continuation of holiday festivities and Christmas!
